as a hardcore kass player i can tell you he's not that hard to play. just get smartcasting and pop in and rape as many squishies as you can. the only difficulty in playing him is knowing your limits. malz on the other hand, has a difficult to land skillshot if you want to maximize its damage, and the opening for his ult (E-W-Q-R) is difficult to time and execute. not to mention malz has no escapes whatsoever and is far squishier than kassadin considering most of the items you get on malz are going to be straight AP and not alot of defenses, whereas with kass you'll be getting Abyssal scepter and Lichbane most games while having a slow and blink to get away from melee's. kassadin is alot easier to not die with and is one hell of a pubstomper, but malz seems to do better in team fights (they're about even in ganks) with good coordination. but this takes a particularly skilled team that is willing to play around the malzahar, but with kassadin, you could literally play as selfishly as you like and still being doing good things for the team.
