I'm gonna stop yo uhere, kassadin can't 100-0 one of the mages given they are even in gold, levels and the players know how to build. I mean just looking at the numbers, basically on 0 mr target you deal with q w e 340 + 200 per 100 ap at lvl 18 so for example 750 ap ( which is about the max ap yo ucan get with a standard build on kassadin)  to 100-0 a lvl 18 viktor with 0 mr. Sure you have your ulti that deals damage, but you have to get in viktor's range, meaning he has time to cast spells before you get in range of your ulti, like q which allows him to kite and shield himself. And sure you can zhonya, but 2.5 sec zhonya when there's at best 6 sec cd left on 2 of your damaging spell when during this time viktor has e and q up again.

In a realistic 1v1 against a mage, kassadin won't 100-0 a target, it's quite the opposite, he will have to kite a little in order to wait a second rotation while other late game mages can 100-0 kassadin with a full combo if he's not careful. Problem is q shield is often wasted as you want to deal damage with your first rotation. What I'm saying is giving the fact that he has a "charge thematic", I think it would be interesting to emphasize this thematic on q shield, since it would allow him to decide between executing a target or charge up a bigger shield while waiting for another big riftwalk or another spell.
