I suggest to riot to delete him because they can't balance him properly.

Just played a game with Kassadin recently, good to know my ultimate still did less damage than my auto attacks.

After going like 18-5 in the game I sold all of my AP items and bought AD items and did more damage.

Lee Sin's win rate went down with his buff. Let's give it a little bit of time before rushing to any conclusions.

imo that's what we should be seeing more of. incremental nudges. as opposed to going too much in one direction than have to revert the other way / back and forth with champions.

I understand reworks (like new ryze,fiora,mord,skarn kis) having this affect of course there will be a period where the changes will likely be off center after big change. but general buffs should be more incremental in nature.

this way they have a good idea of how much to give a champion that missing 1 % or so they need until their win rate/performance is solid.

Cool, now we just buff him in increments until his winrate reaches around 50%.

Worth noting, pick rate is important here too. Are we sure that isn't just Kassadin's mains playing him and doing well because of his new buff? (Genuinely asking, not sure what his pickrate is and i'm not able to look it up atm)

We're not shure. Actually after all those nerfs/reworks there is very few people still playing him. In last 100 or so games, only kassadin I've ever seen is me.

AD Kassadin jungle has been very rewarding for me. Devourer + BotRK + Frozen Mallet + tank works really really well for him. AP seems a bit lackluster right now.

People always build ap kassadin wrong but when built right he can delete someone and be out before they realise they are dead

that actually sounds like it would work. aside from having a bad first clear, ult lets you cj w/ no risk, and also enables really annoying ganks. have you tried iceborn? have you tried the new juggernaut items?

they just need to buff his w passive to make it more rewarding to say in melee range

His W could work on turets again.What would be prety solid buff.

I think that's too much. Let's nerf the buff by half. We don't want him out of control, do we? I mean Skarner is ok being OP.We got Fiora a hotfix because she was bad. Kassadin doesn't deserve a hotfix. Maybe we'll buff him again in 2-3 patches. Right now we feel like he's in a good spot. I mean he was on LPL!

Oh, on another note, we have more skins for you to buy!

Actually. He was going to around 42% win rate. His mains were capping around 46-48%

The buffs made him go to 45-46%. But his mains like me has gone to 56%.

The issue with these buffs is that it increase his mid late game dmg when we asked for his bases so that he can access his late better without increasing it.

I have not tried them yet, I am planning to today at some point.
