Everyone that plays Kassadin knew this "it's just PBE!" change would go through. We hoped otherwise but secretly knew it would still go through. Good job, Riot. You have finally stopped Kassadin being picked by the massive playerbase of LCS Pros and killed a champion anyone else actually enjoyed. May as well change the name to "Rift Zimmerwalk" because with such a stupidly short range he may as well be using a Zimmer frame.

You'll just get the usual defenders in saying "but LeBlanc has to wait X second!" yeah and she has massive burst attached to it AND can instantly go back for a skill that is a basic ability. This is Kassadin's ult, his identity but it's now worse than basic abilities and even some passive abilities. Now instead of Kassadin chasing people being his thing it'll be a montage of him trying to run away from champions and being killed repeatedly because he has no range.

Oh my god........ I have just seen the new champion - Bard. He has a BASIC ability that tunnels through one wall to the end side (no idea on range limits but longer than 450 that's for sure) where the whole team (both friend and foe) can go through. That is on top of his passive giving him movement speed AND his healing giving allied teammates speed boosts. No wonder they gutted Kassadin's Rift Walk further. It's clearly to put a SUPPORT in the role of enabling massive gap closing on a whole other level.

No I'm not serious about them doing it to make their new champion look good but when he has a basic ability that allows for unrivalled movement and for the whole team to catch someone fleeing does it matter?

Why? You hate getting ganked a lot post-6?

This happens the rare times you aren't shoved to turret for the first 10 minutes or so anyway. All they've done is make both pre-6 and post-6 the same. Now Kassadin has what everyone always cries about - a relatively low cooldown Flash for an ult.

I just went to check out the visual update on PBE and try to get used to the shorter range but it's laughable. 450 isn't even the melee minions to the caster minions. Unbelievable..
