Kassadin has to use that Q on the enemy to Cs effectively. The entire goal is simply to survive the laning phase with some resemblance of farm.

Pantheon is a lane bully that completely dominates lane and looks to snowball his team from there.

Would be all fine and well if kassadin wouldn't start outdamaging everyone and their mother with ROA and sheen. Same with the fuckin adcs currently. Since when are 1-2 items lategame?

King of Demons2 votes

So one and a half item power spike? Every single mage in the game has those.

His burst is good if he gets a few ult stacks and then jumps you and hits his entire combo and W to get the mana back. If he doesn't do that he's going to have a hard time.

not a tank so he's balanced

Malicious Metal9 votes

Something can be balanced but still be completely frustrating/toxic to play against.

But Riot usually keeps these artfully crafted designs in a balance limbo until their rework. I personally think Kassadin suffers from the same problem Ryze does; Riot just tries too hard to make a toxic part of their identity work without completely retuning their entire kits.

i think he should get silence back

Out of mana

AwesomeGuyDj3 votes

His w gives free mana.

Ahristocats12 votes

play kass and see how much mana it gives back

AwesomeGuyDj1 votes

I dont have kassadin :P He also starts corrupting aswell, which gives him 225 more mana in laning.

TWITCHTV ERONATE1 votes

no real kassadin player starts corrupting and if he does then his q damage is trash early

you basically have to choose between damage and sustain (dark seal/corrupting)

AwesomeGuyDj1 votes

then you start dark seal and get an extra 100 mana, then buy corrupting.

King of Demons1 votes

It gives enough mana to never run out. Especially if you get it off on a champion, which isn't even hard.

Ahristocats1 votes

are you implying that kassadin will lane against melee champions? are you actually serious?

and on minions it doesn't give enough mana to cast a hecarim Q

Like, literally fucking 20.

Paradise Proxy5 votes

if you're getting poked out by kass q's (and complaining about dft of all things LOL) you need to do a better job of punishing him

SquashCannon5 votes

This is honestly a shitpost that only got upvoted because its maliciousmetal.

BakedLotion4 votes

lol dft does like 6 damage early game. Before resistances. And his q has a high ass mana cost with very low base dmg.

His laning phase isnt the thing you should be complaining about

Why are people complaining about the dumbest shit

Danjeng1 votes

Quiet you heretic... It's Malicious Metal. We must shower him with our upvotes.

IDK what's up with MM lately. I remember him as a member who made reasonable posts, but his shitposting has increased somewhat lately.

Probably thinks he's popular and all that and people will agree with him no matter what lol

I hate Kassadin as much as I hate Pantheon. Pantheon doesn't fall off.

Sexy Jack Rabbit2 votes

I love the fact his Q stops my ultimates.

I can deal with this twat Yasuo windwalling my Katarina and MissFortune ults.

But not this twat Kassadin cancelling them with a point-and-click.

BobaFlautist1 votes

He basically needs to q to trade effectively, walk up to q him and when he Q's to shield the damage then you can go in and ulti freely.

Sexy Jack Rabbit1 votes

I have no issue with it doing damage and shielding him. Champions need tools to help them in trades and I understand that.

My issue is that it cancels channels. It's about as tilting as Quinn vault cancelling shit, or Camille E cancelling CC.

BobaFlautist1 votes

What I'm saying is that it's extremely easy to bait out before your channel because he needs to use it to trade.

DJMason881 votes

He specifically is meant to counter AP casters, soooo

TeCoolMage2 votes

I start E on anivia and do the exact same thing top lane LOL

Bouncemaster Zac2 votes

There's almost certainly no way a Kassadin who hasn't started buying multiple mana items yet (item 3010 item 3070 ) i going to be hitting you with Q that often. Nor is DFT at level 2-3 going to do damage. Most Champions' base hp regen is stronger than the damage you'll get out of DFT that early. Besides, why would Kass take DFT over TLD?

Besides, why would Kass take DFT over TLD?

Because in lane, there aren't many opponents Kassadin will actually be able to trigger TLD against before level 6. His damage in trades is usually going to be a Q, maybe a Q and an E. DFT makes his trades slightly stronger.

Clutch Thompson2 votes

He has a hard time CSing so if he Q's you he'll likely give up a creep that he's otherwise have to go melee for.

Second of all wtf man just pick morde and E him each time he throws a Q; you can see it coming. You can also W when he goes in.

Salson2 votes

I was actually suprised he wasn't in the Assassin Update, he needed it way more than Leblanc.

You can also just pick AD into him, he relies on counterpicking to be viable.

Anonymous Alias2 votes

Tell me what champion you playing vs kassadin.

Anonymous Alias2 votes

Oh yeah, and WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING IN THE FIRST 8 MINUTES?

Handin Out Naps2 votes

I think its good that there is a champ that absolutely dumpsters most mages. If you have a problem with it learn to play Talon, Jayce or Panth.

Craig2 votes

Is it even possible to lose to Kassadin as Pantheon?

Duchess Katarina1 votes

I remember the days where Kass' Q was a silence. (Although it still does stop channelled spells).

ProtestantCaesar1 votes

And it still says "Silenced" above peoples' heads when they get hit by it, so people still think Kass has a silence.

it's probably coded as a 0.00 sec silence.
