3 Ways to buff Kassadin

His win-rate has been suffering, but don't worry I'm not here to rant about his R range. He just feels like akali in the sense you can't really do anything but farm until you get mobility with level 6, and even then (unlike Akali) you don't have the damage to burst someone like an assassin.

1- More Damage.

You have nerfed his base damage the past 2 seasons and I think it needs to be ramped up a bit at higher levels. His Q does 170 base damage... when fully leveled up. Kind of compensated with the shield, but still 170 damage for a fully maxed out Q is a bit low. His W is fine. His E needs to charge up so the damage is a bit low considering how often you use it. A higher AP scaling would help. His R would be amazing and maybe borderline broken if you gave it an AP scaling, but I don't want to always have to rush item 3003 to be able to do damage with R.

2- More CC

Either giving him back his silence or making/moving his slow to R.

3- Lower Cooldowns.

BUT NOT ON HIS R!!! My gosh a 2 seconds cooldown on a blink what were you thinking? Remove/lower the charge up on E and make his basic ability cooldowns scale with level. All of them are static right now.

This isn't a rant, I think Kassadin is an Ok assassin right now and he's a really fun champion, but he has the 3rd lowest win-rate in the game so, I just wanted to give my ideas on buffing him. Thank for viewing!

EDIT: 3rd lowest win-rate

Exactly, he needs WAY more early damage, he has the lowest burst and poke of all the midlaners. He doesn't need his silence but I think that his q should have a damage amplification like talon has on his E, or at least a defense reduction so he is useful to his team. I think his ult is PERFECTLY balanced so I don't think that should be changed. In my opinion his W should be changed so that he can actually use it with the rest of his combo, because I don't think that he should ks with his QE the entire game until he is supposed to be useful, the late game where even though its where he is supposed to shine, gets destroyed and still does NO damage. It really is a bummer that such a mechanically unique champion would be subject to neglect like this.

Yep. His Base Q damage needs a 80% Ap ratio and More Damage at levels 2/3/4/5

Seriously Riot you gave him some QoL buffs with the R lockout change, but his damage is pitiful.
