Buff Kassadin. Bring his silence back on his q and buff his q damage because its the weakest spell of all time. Leblanc's q does more damage without procing. Kass is suppose to be an anti mage but he cant do crap against mages like lux, ahri, velkoz, anivia, brand and basically everyone ap. Also with the meta focused on ad assasins he is not that great right now. I know some people are going to say" he was played in worlds blah blah balh" well that was last year so stfu.
Kassadin is fine in the right hands.. just majority of players (myself included) wont succeed with him in solo q because he tends to take 2-3 items to have an impact. The good kassadin players don't need the same item spike that most of us do.
I don't know... He still seems pretty strong to me.
They can just rework kass into an AD scaling champ, I mean most of his damage is melee range anyways. He would be so cool with physical damage instead of magic damage and AD scalings.
Assuming he would build: Shoes- iceborn- hydra- manamune and maybe youmuu+maw or other items
It would allow for his "Filler AAs" to actually be useful
His Q could do more then a light poke and hopefully channel interrupt (Plus would synergize with manamune)
His W's AA reset would be a powerful offense tool
his E would hit hard kinda like talon's but W but slightly weaker but more utility
While his ulti would offer mobility and wouldn't be a ridiculous amount of it since it's range isnt 700 anymore
His entire playstyle wouldn't even be changed much just scale differently thus more valuable builds and not "filler" AAs
So pros:
Same gameplay but actually has AAs
can make better use of manamune
gain more objective taking pressure
Cons:
No hourglass.
I honestly can't say it would be a nerf to make kass an AD champ, it would even open jungle's viability.
It will be interesting to see what Riot does with him. Kassadin has some obvious deficiencies, his passive is underwhelming and has some itemization issues that attribute to his slow start. Is being an anti-mage too niche? With the Mage update coming it will be interesting to see if they touch Kassadin during or at some point after.
