Kassadin Rework?

Is Kassadin going to get a rework anytime soon? His kit is flawed. Q and E in lane is oppressive since its a click on for Q and a massive cone for E since its impossible to miss. So what Riot did is make him have huge cooldown on those spells along with having horrendous base dmg. I dont understand this champion he takes 45 minutes to hit a powerspike where as almost every other champion hits their powerspike at either level 6,9, or after their first item. Kassadin takes ROA,Zhonyas,DCap,Void, to do any kind of meaningful dmg to a squishy forget about tanks. Kassadins spells pretty much heal tanks at this point. I dont understand if they know that his kit allows free dmg without any kind of skill why not change the spells to skillshots or something that takes a brain to use so they can give him proper base dmg's so he can hit powerspikes normally like every other champion in the game. Playing with kassadin in soloque is horrible. You become entirely dependant on your team once mid game comes around since you dont have a mid game powerspike. Didnt mean to turn this into a rant but I dont see a point in picking ever over other mid laners. He is suppose to be an anti-mage assassin that has to get in melee range to kill someone, but he is played more like a caster that wittles someone down until they are low enough so he can jump on them. They can do a lot just with Q and E spells in order for them to not be oppressive. Option A: remove the slow from his E but up the damage. Some of his utility for competitive would be gone but thats a good thing since his ultimate and slow on his E is broken with teamwork. Option B: make Q into skillshot on a lower cooldown and take away the magic shield. In exchange he can recieve small base stat buffs that scale better into mid/late game. Option C: take away his short cooldown on his ultimate in exchange for a reset with a 1/2 second cooldown if he ults on top of someone. Give the ulti a cooldown of 30 seconds if it doesnt hit an enemy champ. If this were to happen his movement speed should be buffed to 345. Just some ideas to look at since his kit in the game is either garbage or overpowered, might as well change it to make it right/balanced or fun to play.

I hate to break this to you but a Kassadin with Lich Bane and Ludens can easily one shot an ADC

Riot has been slowly buffing him back up since his last rework. Kass is a champion that can easily go from underpowered to oppressively OP with just one buff. So they buff him, and wait a few patches to see what the effect is.

I just wish they would do this with all the champions so we don't end up with some of the cancer we have in the game right now.
