@Kind-Hearted-One Not sure if you're a troll or just stupid, but I'll bite anyway. Kassadin already has trouble dealing with ranged harass early on due to his very weak early game that doesn't allow him to trade effectively. If these changes go through what exactly is Kassadin supposed to do during levels 1-9? Q does no damage and E is getting shredded to pieces. You can press W all you want, you're not even gonna reach a ranged champion and auto-attack him until lvl 6. He's gonna get destroyed by anything in the early laning. Even Karthus, rofl.

This brings up the huge issue of what to max first. Q and E will deal pathetically low damage even when maxed because they need lots of AP behind it after their bases get gutted. Maxing W will force Kassadin to have less time to deal damage because his slow and his silence will wear off sooner.

And btw he didn't gain any 'continuous 90 damage'. He already has that in his current W. 5 seconds of uptime is more than enough for what Kass does. Being constantly on is pointless and like I said pretty much a weaker version of Kayle.

'Easier time farming'. WUT. His R+E can clear minions almost instantly after E is maxed. That won't be the case after the nerfs. Sure, his autos will feel like his current W is on all the time, but Kassadin doesn't have trouble last hitting under tower already so it's kinda pointless. His farming gets hurt in the process, not the other way around.

You also don't know the meaning of 'utility'. Kass barely has any utility in his kit. Utility mages are champions like Zyra, Lissandra or Orianna with large AoE spells and lots of hard CC in their kits. Kassadin is an assassin. He has two soft CC abilities and one of them is single target.

I do think that Kass needs some adjustments, but that's mainly on his R cooldown. Just something small to make him a less forgiving champion. But this? This is almost a rework which no one asked for. His playstyle is drastically changed for no reason at all.

If this goes through, which I doubt it will, picking Kassadin will be pointless when Fizz or Ahri can do the same with better results.
