Because Riot thinks sacrificing an actual ult for blinks with increased mana cost is fucking broken.

Meanwhile, every other champions released recently.

Riot wants Kassadin to keep his theme, which is basically him blinking all over the map. Even if It's at the cost of gutting him since a champion with infinite dashes that do damage as well will either be underpowered or overpowered.

Kalista Nidalee Kassadin

All infinite dashes. All either underpowered, overpowered, or broken but Riot will most likely do anything to make sure they keep their mobility, since It's what defines them by their theme at least.

Like, imagine if Gangplank didn't have oranges and they gave him apples, it wouldn't fit who he is.

kassadin isn't infinite if anything, it's even more finite than the fizz troll pole due to the increasing mana cost

Nidalee pretty much has a kassadin R now in tiger form for zero mana.. I know many will say "but they are not the same" but if you compare the pros and the cons.. Nidalee's is waaaaaaaay better... Kassadin is honestly trash tier in my eyes.. The 1 thing he had over nids tiger w was his range, and thats gone.

That's what I mean. His mobility isn't really anything special, but he paid SO much for it,...

He has literally sacrificed an identity for it. He's no longer a good anti-mage. He STILL didn't get to keep his identity has being THE mobile champion. Instead now he Riftlimps.

And i'm not a nidalee flamer by anymeans.. I think it can be annoying or rather excessive.. but the point is that Kassadin does the same thing slower for higher cost.. Keep nidalee the same, but give kassadin some love =[

Ahh just got fed as jungle Kass. Reminded me of how silly he was way back when he had a 97% ban rate. Dear God.

He's still a glorified minion until late game >_>.

I honestly thought he was OK after his silence was removed :X.

lol but this community still kept bitchin about it until riot caved riot shoud remove ward jumping from the game just to make it fair see how the "lee sin big plays work now" or overall just help balance kat and jax if riot just removed that mechanic from the game they would not have to nerf so many champions that abused it like LeeSin Katarina and Jax now i know that this is a post about kass but we need to look at other champions that have a big amount of mobility

There are so many iconic mobility champions it isnt even iconic anymore. Ahri Kalista Kassadin Lucian RekSai

i made a list of nerfs he received for that mobility. which isnt that great (his mobilty). then paid for his mobility with mobility. and realise fizz and leblanc can catch you and dash blink back faster and less costly than kass.
