His shield being targeted and on cast means he will win most trades with AP Champs in lane, where is where the shield shines the most, not on teamfights.

Teamfight based shields are better when they have an additional effect and block damage regardless, Kassadin is a little too situational for that. That and that E having no shield makes fighting against ADs in the midlane better(except Talon who counters you hard) like Zed and Yasuo who spam abilities to no end.

I think Kass is viable enough. I agree Lich Bane needs some sort of Melee Buff, but everything else seems unneeded.
