Are there any plans on making changes (preferably slight buffs) to Kassadin?
He feels really weak compared to most other champions and can't really assassinate anything until he has 6 items. There's no reason to play him (other than very specific counter-picks) over any other popular mid laner at the moment. A good example would be 
. She has tons of mobility _along with _ waveclear, stronger CC, and a much better laning phase and power curve.
KDragonL1 votesyea kass is extremely weak right now
Nekusen1 votesThe other day i realized i haven't seen a single Kassading being used in months, so i thought of some changes that could increase his itemization while keeping gold per power point. These changes will somehow help him survive the earlygame as he starts with mana and no AP (duh), while not breaking his lategame. Depending more on mana would make him more unique in that aspect and increase build potential.
- -NEW
