With those nerfs, I do not feel that Kassadin is ban-worthy anymore. He can still be an anti-mage, but now with those changes, not only his early game is even weaker than before, but what where considered to be his counters, such as Kha'Zix and Talon, are now even more of counters to him, since now they do not even have to worry about his silence, and that shield only works against magic damage.

If you want to ban now a champion that is extremely strong against mages, ban Gragas. His mobility, sustain, tankyness, and teamfight presence is something that most other mages on mid lane, and even many AD casters, cannot stand to.
