Kassadin Kassadin Kassadin Kassadin Kassadin Kassadin Malzahar His passive reduces magic damage by 15% but I still need to build magic resist because ** he has no MR per level** and his Q shield doesn't block 100 magic damage until level 3 and is on a 9 second cooldown.

I noticed that usually it's the characters with ranged autos that have no MR per level.

Slightly related, I've been trying to figure out a melee Kassadin build that relys on auto attacks similar to Kayle or Diana but the difference is that Kayle has a heal, an invulnerable shield, and range and Diana has a Shield, MR per level, and passive attack speed.

I want to be able to build items like item 3115 or item 3091 or item 3124 but because of his low hp I need to buy item 3027 then I need item 3070 for his ultimate, and then I need item 3135 because by this time in the game, people are buying MR. It's all very stale and forced because he needs those items just to stay relevant in fights and not instantly blow up. Giving him a normal melee champs stats per level would also help him have other build options besides always needing to buy item 3001 for MR.

Well, implying Kassadin needs buffs.. or builds Tear.. or Abyssal ._.

Lol? Kassadin is strong in the hands of a half decent player. I've 1 shot people with 4 stacked ulti and a W with 2 items.

Most champions that are not supposed to be tanks do not get MR / lvl.

He already has a magic shield and that passive. He doesn't need more silly defenses. Maybe he could get a new passive for MR / lvl tho. But he doesn't really need it because he's interesting enough to play.

He's actually really strong right now.

I see Kassadin had MR per Level until Patch 3.13. It would be nice if he had it added back as a test. Not with any other buffs just in case he becomes too strong.

Balance of power. Riot does it a lot where they give a strength to a champ, but weaken them in the same way to compensate. So, they have this archtype illusion. Examples: Sion (Stacks health, however lowest base health in game), Orianna (AP enchanced autos, but lowest base AD), Kassadin (15% reduced magic damage and Q shield, but no MR per level.) or Kog who starts with shit AS to make up for the AS he gets.

Kassadin's passive reduces ALL magic damage by 15% from lvl 1... this is more than akin to have scaling MR per level, since all incoming damage is reduced anyway.

Yea Kassadin is pretty trashcan right now, you need 3 items just to be able to do noticeable damage.
