Talk:Kassadin/@comment-31.205.33.240-20120117185130

Had trouble against him, basically he scared the shit out of me whenever he was in my lane. Saw GuardsmanBob play as Gangplank against him in mid and after he explained his tactics I find Kassadin now to be fairly easy to counter if you chose the right champion. The main point is to play a game of poker versus the other guy. Make him afraid to come near you. Intimidate him so he can safely and most importantly uses his Q to farm creeps thus denying him CS. Against mid I find GP, Heimer to be exceptional counters to Kassadin. Ryze with plenty of mp5 can outharass him but that's a bit risky, a good Annie will have some problems with him but can still push him back first and Malzahar if he lands skillshot. Morgana, Karthus and LeBlanc will certainly have problems, a good Orianna will do fine, not quite sure about Xerath/Swain/Vladimir/Viktor. Veigar is probably the worse choice for mid against Kassadin. Main point, sent someone good in mid who will harass him, will that poker game, make him afraid to come near you and you'll have no issues with him.
