^ The walk away is much less effective with a shorter silence. Fine, you just blow your "once in 8 second" combo? After more than 1 sec, it's my time to trade back and dealing much more damage to you (both base & ratio combined). Many laners can also have point & click skills with cc to use before Kass Q hit them (Swain, Kayle, Lulu, Sion...). Yep, Kass passive is great, but with lower base damage, and inferior gold income for pretty much all early game (which leads to inferior items), he does not trade with impunity as people thought.
