So your solution is to completely nerf his damage output?

Kassadin's damage is fine and i welcome this buff. It's meant to make maxing his Q more viable than maxing E since you gain 15 increase base damage and 20 lower mana cost on E.

Also, you guys ignore the fact that Riot FINALLY fixed a bug that prevented kassadin from killing towers more quickly. His W being activated while hitting towers prevented his W passive from activating on them. This helps his shoving potential quite a bit.

The only problem Kassadin really has that is notable is the fact that his base damage on QWE is fairly low in late game, which requires you to build a lot of damage in order to be viable.

All you really have to do is rush either a Hextech revolver, or a Blasting wand into Lich Bane as well as boots to maximize your early game damage and grant yourself enough mobility to chase and then get out.
