not really. first, roa wasnt really that core anymore. a lot of players build him glass cannon-ish. second, it still is a big difference. yes, he still has mobility, and yes, he still has a silence. but now, if he wants to deal actual damage to you, he has to go melee range with you. meaning its a lot riskier. which is a good thing. also, really? a higher manacost? have you actually seen the numbers? at rank 5 it has a whooping ... 160 base damage. thats only 40 more than eves. you know, the q that has next to no cd? his q manacost is fine. in fact, as long as dianas q exists and remains unchanged, you cannot complain about the manacost of any other spell, as compared to dianas its always more reasonable. kassadins q is singletarget, has a relatively long cd, will have low damage, and a silence, which is good, but not surpreme cc. its kinda the counterpart to blind.
