Talk:Kassadin/@comment-15280970-20140802084023

So right now after achieving 75% wr with this guy over the 72 games I have ab used him, kicking 500 games talons and Shadow reference named summoners, I got to the conclusion that kassadin is near impossible to beat in lane alone on a decently high skilled matchup.

Of course some noobs who have seen him 3 times in their lives may think: "wtfkassadinhastheworstearlygameoflolheismeleehehashighmanacostshehasnosustainheisabadpusherhehaslowearlydamagenomobilitypre6etcetcetc."

This is false. His w provides him with the mana sustain needed to spam undodgeable Q's and E's and slowly outsustain the enemy laner.

This alone wouldn't be the problem as 4% missing mana isn't a lot. However if you add to this the crystalyne flask start, 810 Health + 180 mana (280 in solo Q waiting another port) is a lot on a Champion that is suposed to be sustain gated. Its like Ap on him. "20 ap seems to be 80 on kassadin". It's not suposed to be like that. Its like the old 9 pot start.

Of course, you could just buy Crystalline flask and win a sustain war against him. Nope, no champion in lol gets more from that item than kassadin. Buying it will not allow you to pull out great amounts of burst without retailation or undodgeable harass or countergank bot lane in 15 seconds.

Then, as it is reusable and covers his expenses, kassadin can just build straight AP instead of mana -shit bases and good scalings were meant to make him harder to snowball-.

So, i think that removing a starting 345 reusable item that nullfies a champions core weaknesses; one suposed to be covered with 3700 gold and a considerable amount of time, the other that shouldn't be itemizable at all; is necesary.

If you think I am talking nosense:

But of course Xpeke gave the greatest example, bullying and outfarming zed, and most importantly, he didn't even build mana, he just rushed Zhonya + Rabbadons.

He even kicked Faker out of lane in Paris: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiYMYH1RvKU

a game SKT T1 turned because they outfarmed the gold difference.
