Kassadin was a more "Situational pick" before Season 3. He was considered quite strong due to him countering almost all AP picks, him being one of the few mobile champs, and his AP scaling.

In season 3, i think someone got drunk and decided to give him higher AP scaling on R + the mana refund passive--which made him the God tier of the game.

In season 4, he got a moderate rework, changing his Q and W, and his R scaling. He was in a pretty good spot at the end of Season 4, but people still complained about riftwalk being too OP (with good reason... 700 range flash means he can jump any wall and leap a great distance).

So in season 5, when they cut his riftwalk range to 450, he immediately fell to being one of the weakest champions. Season 5, despite the buffs up to 5.16, was Kassadin's worst season by far.

He's on the stronger side again, but he is still weak against CC heavy teams. If they nerf his damage again, they should honestly give him something to compensate.
