The RQ (possibly E as well) harass combo simply leaves no counter play. Another thing to note is even when Kass can't win lane post 6 (for exp, vs Gragas or Swain who are tankier and have more sustain than the usual mages), he still snow ball well because R gives too much mobility for ganking, joining small skirmishes, taking objectives...

Kass damage was never a big issue. Talking bout burst, Kha, LB, Fizz have much more "OMG,WTF does that damage come from" bursts. The nerf therefore is not really good as it does not tackle the real "OP" factors of his design. I would like them to keep his mobility (as it is what defines Kass), while make his silence shorter.
