A safe way to buff Kassadin

What if, we gave him a scaling % of magic pen on his passive. It'd allow him to assassinate late game, even with his terrible overall damage, and probably wouldn't break him too hard

Kassadin's late game damage is monstrous it doesn't need any buffs. He's weakness is all based around his lack luster early game, but if you buff that then he'll become too strong because of his ultimate being such a powerful tool.

The problem I see with him is that while he does have mobility, he has no real way to use it, untill very late in the game, and even then, if the enemy team is even moderately tanky, you won't be able to kill them.

I've seen the squishiest of adc's survive a late game kassadin's burst, and then heal right up in the time it take for him to be ready to try to kill them again.

Any ways, i specified scaling pen, so that early on, it's impact isn't that great, while late game, it will show its true effect. I feel a buff like that will make his late-game truly shine, while allowing him a little bit of leeway during the early game

I'm sorry but if a 4 item kassadin can't 1 shot a ADC or similarly squishy target then he's just not a good kassadin. A 3 stacked ULT + W +E alone will do upwards of 2k+ damage, and then you still have Q and another ULT to follow it up.
