Why Kassadin needs a new R.

Oh Kassadin . I miss the days when you were permabanned and everyone feared your presence on the Rift.

Now you hobble around telling your same "Silenced my mother" joke because you can't come to terms with the fact you no longer have a silence.

Why? All because you liked to hop around a little too much for everyone's liking. It's not your fault though. They designed you to jump over every obstacle and kill those dreaded voidlings.

Here's what needs to be done in order to make Kassadin right:

Get rid of the current Riftwalk. A set of blinks doesn't make sense for a "walk" anyway.

**I propose that, instead, he gains the ability to walk through all units and terrain for about 10 seconds. At the end of the duration or on his next attack, deal damage either to the target or in an area. (Kind of like Lilith in Borderlands) **

THEN, we either buff the damage on his Q and remove the shield, or make the shield block Phys. AND Magic damage. Let him have his E JUST on a cooldown, since it doesn't silence any more.

With this, he keeps the ability to escape without the insane dodging and flashing problems he used to have.

Thank you to all the jackasses who downvote and don't contribute to the thread, by the way. Love the community.

That would be a huge nerf for his mobility.I mean you cant walk near the walls of the time.And if you get caught in mid lane ,your fucked.If you dont have a flash.

HIS MOBILITY IS THE PROBLEM.

It may be his identity but it's what prevents him from being allowed to be good!

Then he needs full rework ,like a sion.Cause if you his this drasticall and leave his old kit ,with those base dmg,no cc.he will be the most usless champ in the game.Im telling you...

Exactly.

We can't ask for that though, because they've already changed his visuals and animations a ton. They wouldn't even bother with a full rework, so the most we can ask is a slight change.

Lower the ability cooldowns so he becomes a fighter instead of an assassin, let the on-hit damage of the W scale with levels and apply spellvamp. That'd be fine.

Riot will delete Kassadin before they ever move away from his identity, which can never exist as a healthy/balanced one in the game, as a hypermobile anti-mage assassin that teleports across the map every .1 seconds and does AoE damage along the way.

His main issue is his ultimate/identity, but knowing Riot, Kassadin will be deleted before they ever remove his identity that can never exist in the game. More-so because he'll either be unplayable or pick-or-ban.

champs like kass,poppy,shen are gated by parts of their kits.

if you rework champions you should expect to remove the cancerous part about their kits and disregard "muh identity"
