when is kassadin getting real nerfs?

Kassadin Base armor lowered from 23.376 to 20 Armor per level lowered from 3.2 to 2.75

this won't even matter vs ap champions. is riot going to address the shit that actually makes him busted? i.e presence of mind, sustain rune page, 2 second flash etc. maybe start with reverting the totally unnecessary ult buff from worlds patch (in one of the worst patches post 8.11 where riot tried to force already strong champs into worlds meta and did nothing but fuck up solo queue balance even more)?

not sure why this is a thing, look at the skill! https://streamable.com/t1fdu maybe give his ult stacks like teemo shrooms. used to be gated by mana, but runes have removed most of the champions weaknesses

He is supposed to counter ap champs.

AD champs will completely destroy him after that nerf.

You're arguing "this won't work against AP champs" for an anti-ap champion.

Is this for real?

Also, fuck a nerf. He needs a rework already. He sould've been reworked when Kai'Sa was released.

I can provide you with 5000 Master Yi pentakills that would be faster than this. The problem with nerfing kassadin is that he is useless before level 6 and weak before stacked ROA and Archangels.

It's like the opposite of champions like Xin and Talon who destroy early game then fall so hard. If you have rough laning phase you can destroy late game.

Not too sure why people bring him up tbh... Hes not even that amazing right now hes just a champion you pick to counter a champion or a team comp or you just get smashed by anyone who picks an AD champion into him or an AD comp.. in this clip that was posted it's just an extremely fed Kassadin with a shit ton of items vs an underfed team lol people act like this didn't happen in season 4/5/6/7/8 smh

Gonna be unpopular here, but he had a 3 level lead on half the enemy team, no idea if they had any MR built, I'm assuming he was fed as hell being almost full build at level 16, nevermind the maxed out item 1082 ...if you're going to make a point, some of these need to be taken into account. Though I will concede him not running oom after the 5th-6th Riftwalk is horseshit; he shouldn't be hitting THAT hard for itemizing that hard into mana.

oh look a one sided clip with an insanely fed champion, with a huge amount of items compared to the enemy. Of course a damage dealer like Kass is going to destroy a team if he's fed and the enemy don't fight back. Not to mention how this post is all opinion, just name dropping runes and random champ stats without context.

Ye hes kinda dumb rn. I went 0/6 - 0/10 a couple of times with kassadin early game but once i hit 3 items i just refuse to die and i just get a bajilion kills after that.

Yes, give his ult stacks like teemo shrooms, so when I steal the ult with Sylas I get full stacks.

You'd rather fight Zed or Talon? Also just about any ranged AD champ fucks with Kassadin pretty hard.

I dont think they should nerf his late game.

I find it funny that this is the clip you use as your evidebce. He's got 200 cs and 9 kills. Obviously nobody stopped him from farming early shown by his 3 deaths and the enemy teams 13 kills. He's 3 levels up against a team of pure squishies. Before anyone says aatrox isn't squishy, look at his build. Dude has got his core items finished, stacked and his ult juiced up from running from baron pit. He also has presence of mind, blue buff, baron and seraph passive. Sure presence of mind is stupid on him but it really only starts mattering late game where he is supposed to be good.

It should matter versus ap champions ap champions should also be using auto attacks
