Oh my. Where should I even start? First, Kassadin DOES NOT need Tear. He cannot stack it properly, the mana bonus is inferior to catalyst and RoA\Banshee, his initial manapool is too small to get nice bonus off AA and this tiny mregen does not help at all. Just pick Catalyst, dammit. It gives you same mana for laning, better sustain, health, and possible nice 80 AP or spell shield. Second, he does not need Sheen or Lich Bane. These items can be nice once he stacked 400-500 AP and can tear off around 600+ helath with his Lich Bane proc, but earlygame it's useless, not to mention the whole damn fact that you need to be in melee to use it. Third, only pick Void Staff if the other team has mres-stacking tank, otherwise it's damn useless. With Sorcs and runes you get around 35 mpen, this is enough to deal true damage to most squishes. If you reeeeeaaaaly need to raep that Janna with a Chalice on her, just buy Abyssal Scepter or Haunting Guise. Next, your tactics. I would say "horrible", but I don't want to insult you, so I'll just say they are...not good. WHY THE HELL DO YOU EVEN STACK RIFTWALKS?! 3 RWs are a whole damn 600 mana! 600! That's one third of your manapool even with archangel! Don't do this. Harass enemy till he gets around HP low enough for you to can kill him, then riftwalk over him, kick in your E+Q, riftwalk once more if that's not enough and then enjoy the massacre. The key is - "enough low HP". Just...Practice. Watch closely how much damage your spells do, try to think ahead will that ignite kill him or not and...learn to killsteal. This may sound overall wrong, but believe me, delaying that Q for a second to surely score a kill is simply priceless in solo queue(and I'm more than sure you don't have a regular team) where most people think "teamwork" is name of a car.
