actually he can. if he has ignite. without it he can only get vlad down to 25% but thats enough to push vlad out of lane. but likewise vlad cant kill kassa without ignite. in fact, he has more trouble doing so. their qs deal about the same damage (until kassa gets more than 100 ap anyway), kassas e usually deals more damage, unless its at 4 stacks and kassa has little ap yet, vlads ult deals a bit more damage, but kassa has his w, and his passive. sure, you get increased damage from your ult, and 12% is decent, but its not gonna kill kassa. maining someone matters little. at which level you play it, thats the thing. and if you play anywhere higher than silver, you would notice how much he does when he isnt against an enemy that counters him. however, you rarely see that. he is either banned, or the enemy team has something up their sleeve. a good fizz player, a good zed player, a good yi player, something like that. of course he needs mana. you need to get some cs at least, no? usually, you have to use your q if you want to get some cs you cant otherwise get. removing the mana battery will nerf one of the shittiest laning phases even further. like, no. he isnt diana. he has mana problems, and his abilities make it hard to farm more than one creep with them. in fact, you are trying to nerf a place, where he already is bad, even further. lets remember how well that has worked so far. shaco. yeaaaah. now of course, it all does depend on where you play. in bronze and silver everything works. in gold, most things. in plat it gets harder. in lower diamond it already is really hard, and according to my friend its near impossible at higher diamond.
