I find his W to be very lackluster. If it would be 100% passive it'd be rather fun and useful, but as it is, it's kind of a meh ability that you hardly make use of. Auto attacking as Kassadin is already a painful endeavor, seeing as you're melee and most of your opponents will be ranged mages - being forced to do so because your kit requires you to is somewhat annoying.

Alternatively, if his W would simply cause his next auto attack to deal additional damage, it'd be better as well. Right now you need about 3 auto attacks with the W activated to rival the damage of your Q or E. If you could do the same with just 1 auto attack, it'd be much more interesting - it'd also inccentivise us to buy Lich Bane on him.

The stacking mechanic on his ulti is more of a hindrance than a boon as well. It does more harm with the increased mana cost than it does good with the small increase in damage. You'll never get it stacked high enough for the damage to make any difference because you'll run out of mana ages before you can do so.

- His Q is great as it is.

- His E is alright - although I don't like the stacking mechanic.

- His W needs some work.

- His ulti would be far better without the stacking mechanic. Also needs some higher base damage, while having its scaling reduced. Right now it's almost useless at level 6, damage wise, without any items.
