LeBlanc vs. Kass

So how does Kassadin keep receiving nerfs into the ground, whereas LB remains untouched. With the latest Kass nerf he has about as much ult range as flash, yet LB is free to roam the map able to one-shot carries instantly. She even gets the added benefit of being able to pop in then out. Just trying to figure out what the justification is in nerfing Kass yet leaving a champ who is now more mobile and (arguably) a better one shot assassin untouched?

LeBlanc hasn't seen the big spotlight since season 3, Kassadin has seen it consistently since his release.

Kassadin also has a buff on the PBE right now, reduced his ult CD down to almost nothing - he has his mobility back AND it's worse than ever with it stacking much faster.

because people complained too much and banned him for no reason other than he was banned a lot by the LCS. so Rito decided a nuke would allow people to play him more. and it still didnt work, now hes even more miserable then veigar. why must rito keep nerfing my midlane mages? -_-* i will never know

You realize that Kassadin is going to get buffed again, right? Most recent Kassadin changes can be found here.

Kassadin Riftwalk (R) range increased to 500 from 450* Mana cost reduced to 50 from 60 Cooldown changed to 6/4/2 from 7/5/3

That's quite a buff. He may still be "rifthopping", but he'll do it a lot.

She is just so stupid strong now that she is being picked/banned in almost every lcs game. Her W is a Kass ult. Her E is a Morg ult. Her Q does ranged damage. And to top it off her R lets her cast the same ability again which just makes her mobility and damage insane. I don't understand Riots reasoning for not touching LB but to nerf Kass and other champs into the ground
