wow RIP KASS

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.

its dumb to because other champs have crazy mobility and damage ( wtf NID, Lb and RIV)

riot needs to stop using cocain before making patch decisions like wtf theyre so bad at balance

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?
