Patch 5.5 Kassadin
Aside from the insane mobility everyone is talking about I was wondering about a different topic. Items
For you kassadin players, do you see your item builds changing? I'm wondering with the lower mana cost on his R if he could afford to skip out on the passive mana items like RoA. (not that roa is bad on kass and having his range nerfed it might still very well be needed for the extra tankiness, and i have been avoid tear for a long time on him) Just wondering if his build could alter. Reasoning... Perhaps a stronger early-mid game. Everyone knows Kassadins late game is crazy good but his early game is pretty crap because he lacks damage and has to sacrifice his early damage to supply for his late game mana issues. If kassadin doesnt go RoA or at least tear his late game will be trash. BUT im wondering if the lower mana cost will change that at all?
Rush 
or 
with 
vs
TL;DR Less mana cost on R open up early game damage items?
Thoughts?
prob just build this more often
) being used more often because of the cooldown reduction and some extra mana. Also, the new 120 AP item (Luden's Echo) may be really good on Kassadin because of the burst and mobility it gives. We'll see how it goes when the new patch comes live!
