That never bothered many other champions.

Against an AD Kass can survive until 6 at least and then start to do stuff. Against an AP he can poke constantly with his Q and block retaliation with the shield it gives.

It is true he'll be more of a counterpick against AP mid laners now instead of a spam first pick if he isn't banned. However if he gets counterpicked against with an AD then he'll still be able to function.
