His scalings are the reason why he's a l8 game monster. But he doesnt rly fit the stereotypical assassin becoz of his low dmg, which means his dmg relies more on AP items. Low bases also mean that he doesnt rly snowball and turn into a shitstorm like lb or lets say, ekko.

Becoz of low bases and pretty gd scalings, early he needs to get off more than 1 spell rotation to kill some1, but when he buys his items, becoz of his scalings, his dmg soars. Not to mention that each point into his ult means lower cd and thus better stickiness or fleeing.

Riot's reasoning: Lets giv Kass such a shitty early game so that he ALMOST nvr survives to become a l8 game monsta. Basically this.
