Tanks initiate and then use their CDs to stop enemeis from getting to their carries.

In the window of time that their abilities are on CD, Kass can easily poke them with Q, which doesn't sound like much until you think about who he could be tagging a silence to.

2.6sec Silence onto someone like Karthus means he lost his teamfight potential in the blink of an eye, as well as a large chunk of his HP. Annie would just walk away. I have also used my Silence on many supports like Soraka, because I enjoy assassinating champions that add sustain, it means that poke is very powerful after someone like Soraka dies. Bonus if she had Oracle's.

A bad Kass can easily spell doom for you team, but a good one knows how to work with his team to peel enemies, which he excels at.

I'm not saying he can AoE your entire team for the win, but there's 2 ways he changes a teamfight that I know of -

The CC he spams wrecks your casters.

OR (The rarer one)

Your team focuses someone else, while he gets hit with magic dmg AoE, resulting in massive autoattack dmg on some lone person.
