Yeah the problem all hybrids have is itemizing penetration (runes are not enough) as your dmg will be shit if the enemy team carries build a guardian angel. Kassadin ratios are not as high as let say... malzahar ratios. What makes him a monster is his extremely high survivability(mobility and extremely fast and secure combo(RQE + L bane+ ignite +some AA+ they can't to shit 2.5s silence)) which allows him to build glass cannon and insta-kill carries.

The 2nd problem is his late game. As a dps champion, he will have to stay some time AAing to deal good dmg and in melee range this will kill U, (unlike jax who gets tankiness from offensive stats).

This build would make kassadin the god of clean up (title that jax holds) ... the problem would be winning that teamfight first.
