Being angry at kassadin again
How can a late-game champion reach his power spike at lv 6 and even more powerful at 6+ and win trades pre 6 against mages? Step up to cs with autos, you get hit by his q and he gains a shield that mitigates all your spell damage and heals with taste of blood. Step up to auto him, you get hit by minions and lose the trade. Sure his q is on a 9 seconds cooldown at lv 1, but that barely lets mages to punish him in this time window since their own spell might even be longer than his q at lv 1. You watch him melee range minions while healing with fleet or 2 health potions. He's back to full health and barely any mana loss. Punish his poor waveclear by using mana and autos, he tps back after he holds the wave outside his turret because you're oom and left no choice to go back or get killed by overextending. You lose cs to a melee "late game" champion as a ranged champion. Lanes over by the point he gets lv 6 which is at 7 minutes he gets lane prior and you get scold by your team. The game ends at 15 minutes.
The only way to win this is for the kassadin to be stupid enough to jump on you and get ganked by your jungle repeatedly for at least 5 times. Or to be caught alone late game, but given he has a blink every 1.2 seconds lv 16+ it's quite hard. Focus him when he jumps into your team and he zhonyas/seraph embrace. I don't see any counterplay do I just ff at 15 if I get counter picked?
