Farming as kassadin

MunchCrunchLunch··1 votes·1,055 views

This couldn't possibly be any harder. I mean I go around to hunt the hordes of minions and the guy that doesn't even try to kill them gets more than me. how can I possibly hunt with kassadin. I mean what to do here?. his q takes 8 seconds and his w also takes 8. a little more actually. cool down reduction is a waste on him early in the game and late its pretty much not worth it no more. all the items that you recommended and you should buy for him don't help him farm at all. I don't see a different in farming with kassadin from lvl 1 to lvl 18 there is not much. I mean when you kill then you are all set but if your enemy knows that you can't farm all they have to do is stay away and they're guaranteed to face an inferior kassadin when its lvl 12-18. actually the whole game. is it not enough he can't fight for shit early game. I mean I get it that hes pretty strong if you get to late game and have a good early and mid game but what are the chances. let me farm in peace riot. all we need is less cooldown on the w or something like that. or a faster basic attack. I mean hes slow as shit too.

I used to main Kassadin, and CSing on him is actually really easy, a lot better than CSing on other mid laners.

Before I continue, don't forget to buy your trinket! It's free!

Kassadin's W grants him bonus damage every time he auto-attacks, and is an auto-attack reset, so attacking and then pressing W makes him attack again almost immediately for hard-to-get CS.

Generally, for melee minions, you want the tower to hit them twice before you hit them, and for ranged, you want them to hit once before you hit them. If you don't have that bonus damage or you're not Kassadin, in the early-game, you want to hit ranged minions once, have the tower hit them, and then hit them again. Pay attention to what the tower is hitting! If two are about to die at around the same time, Q one, and auto the other, even use W on it if you have to because the attack animation is faster.

A general build path would look something like this: item 1056 item 2003 x2 OR item 2041 item 2003 x2 Into item 3010 > item 1001 > item 3027 > item 3020 Then item 3285 > item 3089 > item 3157 If you need magic penetration because your opponents are building lots of magic resistance, these are both good options. item 3001 item 3135 Otherwise, item 3100 is a really strong item.

With this build, you should have no troubles as a new Kassadin player before delving off into trying out new things to see what works best for you specifically.

Plus his Q if you can't get them. He has one of the best auto-attacks for last-hitting out of all the mid-laners, and it's smooth and responsive and he can even reset it if he needs to while dealing bonus damage and restoring mana.

but his attacks and abilities are single target while other champions have multi target and if not they have less cooldowns and better physical attacks. Kassadin is the WORST farmer in the game. thats definitive.

He has two AoE spells. His E and his R. Both of which are relatively easy to clear minion waves woth, especially together. You should be maxing Q first and E second. During lane phase, you should have no issues CSing when it comes to waveclear, however, Kassadin isn't the best, but he's not the worst either. One E usually clears caster waves (if not, E+R will) and your E will also hurt the mêlées, which you can Q one, W another, and auto the third.

no what? they are not AoE. his R is but when you will be able to use it a lot you're already at level 10-12. you cant waste all your mana and be an open target. and even early game. the R doesn't do more damage than the rest of the attacks. barely.

Would you like to enter a game later tonight so I can show you first hand?

By "a lot easier than other laners" he meant kassa actually spams his whole kit on minion waves to farm, then regens the mana back up with W.

It's pretty reliable when it comes to not missing cs from a wave, excrutiatingly slow when trying to waveclear as you actually have to burn your ult on minionwaves to waveclear effectively.

How is this even a serious post. His auto attacks are one of the strongest for mid lane mages early game and he has his E and R quickly clear waves mid to late game. Wave clearing is not a problem on Kassadin.
