"Well every mage is countered by Magic Resistance... "

True, which is why mages are valued more for their utility than their raw damage come late game. Vlad aoe ult, lux's ridiculous range, malzahar's suppression, kennen's infinite stuns. I'm not sure if its still the case but Kassadin was basically an easier version of Leblanc, everything that leblanc had to leverage and put effort into, kass could just tp in and click. No tethers to maintain, doesn't need to fire off multiple abilities to get a CC effect, and his "skill shot" was a penetrating cone.
