Give Kassadin his silence back

Yes, you read that right. I don't even play Kassadin, and I think those changes are absolutely retarded. The fact that Riot didn't do anything about literally everyone on the PBE saying the ult change was bad, they still went through with it. This shows us that Riot truly has stopped caring about PBE.

So, as a jungle main I can now safely say Kassadin is useless. Mediocre damage, no real CC, and an ult that is laughably bad. Nidalee has more damage, mobility, and utility at level 3 than Kassadin has at level 6, hell, even level 18.

I'd be fine if maybe his ult ranged scaled up (along with mana costs, meaning level 16 his ult would be back to normal) to amplify that Kassadin is supposed to be a late game power.

It should also be noted that the both beloved and loathed 'anti-mage' has recently gone for midlane mage destroyer, who is in turn wrecked by certain AD mids Talon, has gone to a top lane bully who succeeds most vs melees.

Ever since mid season 4, starting with the removal of his silence, Kassadin has slowly gone form midlane high powered anti-mage to top lane cluster fuck of nobody knows. Is he still an assassin? Is he a tank? An AP bruiser? Fuck it nobody knows at this point.

TL;DR: Fix Kassadin please. You literally gutted his mobility, the only thing he has, when champions like Nidalee and Kalista have more damage and mobility at level 3 than he does at 6, AND they're ranged.

The only thing Riot know how to do with Kassadin is make him weaker. Pretty much anyone on PBE said it was a bad change and gave suggestions along the lines of scaling with ult level, a charge system similar to Akali's ult and plenty of other ideas. Unfortunately everything was ignored and the change goes through but it's ok! At least he gets a visual update to look better while being utterly awful now.

Anyone on here screaming "GOOD RIDDANCE" etc just fails to see what will happen and always happens. Someone will come around and replace Kassadin as the new go-to champion and then the cries to nerf that champion will begin. It's never going to stop and they're so short sighted.

I can tell as an pbe tester, this Kassadin nerf was really critical to him. He can't kite that well anymore, and is outclassed by my beloved Leblanc. She has a really safe escape, and can trick people really well with it too. she has a snare/slow and a mark that deals alot of damage. as well her mana less ultimate allows her to be really great with jumping and decieving (mostly the mirror w - it deals much more damage than you think)

He has right now no way of sticking to his targets - the silence allowed him to stick to his targets because they couldn't escape, the long slow on his allowed to stick to his targets if they're getting faster, and his ultimate allowed him to repeat that circle. Maybe it wasn't healthy, but after his silence remove he was fairly balanced. Their reason to nerf Kassadins ult is pointless in my opinion and his ultimate does not feel like an ultimate anymore.
