So, after 400-something games with Kassadin I can finaly say it: He needs a rework. Not just a buff, but a complete rewamp, because his current state is terrible.

He completely devastates 70% of mages on lane, if he survives his first six levels, making him look like OP to Veigars and Annies. The real problem? Everyone else devastates HIM. Bruisers are too tanky for Kassadin to kill, while they do enough damage to kill him; AD carry or any AD, including junglers, kill Kassadin from first levels to the last ones or just zone him out so he can't farm. The reason he is insta-banned is not that he is too good, it is that nobody can think outside the meta and meta is the only thing that makes Kassadin better than Eve. And Dominion, but who cares about Dominion?

Yes, I know what the counterpick is, but 1. Kassadin has way too many of them(70-80% of champions, to be exact) 2. When counterpicked he can't even farm because of the fact that he is melee, has low movespeed and nothing to harass with but Q and occasional E 3. Even when he gets favourable match-up he falls off lategame if not fed like insane.

The solution? 1. Remake him into a bruiser so he can take both mid and top OR 2. Give him better lategame scaling(increase AP rates and give back armpen on his w) so he won't be worthless after 40 minutes into the game OR 3. Increase his sustain and give him another spell on W so he can harass properly i.e. make him an AP version of Talon.

And, finally, why am I writing this here, on the wiki? Well, riots never listen to what players say about the balance or champions, so there is no point in writing on the forums. I just need to know what other good Kassadin players think about this.
