Galio is by far the hardest counter to this champion. Level 1-6 is Galio's "weaker" stage and since they both share melee, Galio can essentially farm safely since Kass doesn't have notable long-ranged harrass. Once Galio hits level 7, his Q becomes such a powerful farming tool that it'll be impossible for Kassadin to roam without losing his tower. With MR items such as chalice, mercury's treads, and abyssal scepter as Galio's core items, he is essentially impossible for Kassadin to kill even after getting riftwalk.
