"Call for ganks" doesn't change the match up. Any match up becomes good when you got a gank. That's stupid logic.

"Rush Banshees" also doesn't change the fact that it's a stupidly bad match up. Early game you're just fucked, no questions asked. And while you're rushing Banshees he's rushing damage. He's still at an advantage. Late game it events out, it still doesn't change the fact taht Kassadin is a hard counter. Early and mid game he shuts down characters like Ryze or Karthus pretty hard. That's pretty much the definition of a hard counter.
