As it turns out AP Soraka can shut down Kassadin completely in lane.

He has worse range on his silence, worse pushing power, can't burst her and much worse sustain of course. Also her passive is better if you discount the attack speed he gets.

She is easily ganked though so he can wait for jungle help. And he can leave lane entirely to go roam elsewhere (but will probably lose his tower in the process).
