I want to have some of the stuff the balance team is smoking

"Oh you know who we could buff?

"Hmmm?"

"KASSADIN!"

"Isn't his entire design so flawed that it only takes one tiny push to make him absolutely gamebreaking and a must-ban like he was in season 2, 3 and 4?"

"Yeah and? I say buff him so he sees more play!"

"That makes absolutely no sense. LET'S DO IT!"

In all honesty tho, I do get PTSD to season two when someone even mentions the possibility of that champ being made stronger in absolutely ANY way.

Kassadin So, can I be in the meta again?

Community: Never again!

Kassadin Sigh...

Maybe give him a proper rework and change his skills into something more than just "generic mage assassin" (which is what he was initially designed as in a time where Riots design plain out sucked for the most parts.)

I think kass needed a buff. Volibear Amumu Lux Bard ? Maybe not.

kass is more cancerous than all 4 of them combined

True. I can#t really remember any single time in the last six years one of these four was a "must-ban". Kassa on the other hand...

Voli's been in a bit of bad spot for a while now, Amumu's just been bad, Lux, while simple, is subpar in some cases. I necessarily agree with the ult changes, but it does reward the Lux player for being good at the champ. With Bard, his subpar winrate, dispute being played by mostly mains, was cause for a buff. And, with how the support meta is now, buffing the competition seems to be a good way to go.

Bard was fine without but did deserve something.

As someone who has just started learning Kassadin just a few month, his buff to his ult dmg is taking it to far and he is going to need his ult dmg buff reverted. His E cooldown going down a second wont mean as much since 6 abilites have to be used before Kassadin can even use his E, so his E cooldown going down wont be noticeable except maybe in team fights. I felt like before the ult dmg buff Kassadin was probably the most balanced he has ever been, very weak pre 25 minutes unless the enemy laner does something stupid and gives you kill and cs lead. 25 minutes on average is more than enough time for the enemy team to camp kassadin and put him behind. But with the new buffs, it should be easier to get a kill and/or a cs lead in lane and get to his two item power spike

Not to mention they finally nerfed graves, only took all season.

And he is still in basically every game xD His passive tankyness just needs to be removed entirely, end of story. Someone with the burst of graves shouldn't be able to freely walk up any other carry with 140 armor and 12% DR from phantom dancer.

Agreed, marksmen should have some weakness somewhere. Also giving carries multiple items with damage reduction was a mistake.

Except Kassadin isn't as nearly as broken now, since unless you get within 400 or so units to him. Back then it was 2 times fucking longer than flash. 2 fucking times.
