There are champions that can survive and outbully Kassadin, best example is Orianna - with her shield, she can easily win a sustain war against Kassadin, even with the AD Nerf she got recently. Because undodgable q's suddenly don't matter anymore when they deal 0 damage. Nailing him to his tower and harassing him also is an easy method to gain dominance, unless you sacrifice farm or have a reliable jungler (which is, in propably no Elo, to be taken for sure).

All the games you posted where mainly won by team movements, there are hardly any moments where you see Kassadin being OP (e.g. the parts where he chased Tristana even though jump + ult by her). What you see there is that his really defensive start, indeed, helps him outbully enemy champions, and that he can properly snowball. But saying he kicks somebody out of lane when there is constantly at least 1 other champ around isn't really a neutral point of view, aswell as saying he raped Yasuo, when it was really an from TF's fed Kassa - in this case, for most champions that would be true (just think of a fed Teemo, Malz,...). The Mejais was a good situational choice - the enemy team had no hard burst and only a very limited amount of hard CC. With his HP, his ultimate on level 2, and Tristana having no IE/Statikks, there was only a really, really small chance that he would get caught out, chased, and killed (and bursted, well, there he'd had to go willingly in 1vs5) [That's why you see Corki building the AD counterpart to Mejais aswell].

Going further on, I congratulate you on mastering Kassadin - playing him on 75% in SoloQ shows that you really know how to handle him - I'd really like to see your profile pic though (a statement always is better conjuncted to its proof). As his "average" winrate is just 46.6% shows that you've figured out using his skill cap to the maximum, and I'd really like to know how you did that - I for myself failed horribly.
