Although I agree these nerfs seem pretty harsh on Kass, I feel like every time Kass gets nerfed everyone seems to jump to the conclusion he will be unplayable but then realize he is still very strong after a bit of time passes. Unless they rework his kit I feel Kass will always be fairly strong and although these nerfs seem like they will make him unplayable, I think it would be best to wait and see how they play out before jumping to conclusions about it.
Aaravos3 votesIts because they never nerfed his mobility. I don't think he will able to come back without buffs in the future if these changes come to live.
Altricad1 votes^ So much this. Kass can at least live with flat damage nerfs because he can scale into late game with items, his mobility being hit is the last straw
Bloodyskulls R12 votesIf league keeps nerfing kass then they might as well take him out of the game i bought 2 skin for kass i play him good but now its just not fun anymore they nerf him and give everyone else buffs

AnCa1 votesKassadin is one of those balance nightmares. Might even be the most problematic one ever graced the history of LoL so far. (Other contenders are the fellow assassins, the 7 skills champions etc.)
Kassawin1 votesIts not that it makes him unplayable its that it makes it so there is ZERO reason to play him over a champion like lb or nid it is a joke to take away his ult its not just the team fight loss that you get now and the roaming it has totally destroyed him as a splitpushing champ. Riot has literally rendered him useless. Kass is no longer a good mid laner his laning is fine but they have gutted him of doing anything in mid or late game. Its just like Galio and viktor they both have fine kits its just there is no reason to pick them over the meta champs. Instead of focusing on allowing champs like galio to have a place in the game Riot just creates more champs that are unnecessary and underused
ZxoeX1 votesThere are champions out there like Talon, and Akali who can teleport on a target at 2x the range (or so it seems) then Kass now.... Granted Kass's R is more of a flash, you have to be WITHIN ranged AA range to even use R. Once your in you cant jump out, cause guess what, your STILL WITHIN ALL ABILITY RANGES OF THERE ENTIRE TEAM... What the f""" is the point then.... Just like these people are saying, whats the point of playing a mobile champion when you take away the mobility? I agree. I also agree that a decent Kass player was pretty tough to contend with, but they dropped the RANGE and the DAMAGE of the spell, but dropped the cost. Managing your mana (yes even with blue buff) is what defined good Kass players. If you want to nerf something then nerf the mana he gets back from a R, W combo. I watched the "break down of the patch" and they explained that Kass was often banned and teams didnt know how to deal with a Kass. Its simple. Build MR. This is unbelievable to me. Shorten the range, but make it realistic, not just over melee AA range. While they are making changes they might as well change his role from assassin, since you can see him coming from a mile away now.
