Just played kass

I won lane pretty hard against a Kata.

Lost super hard to a Xayah.

My build was RoA, Lich, Mask, Ninja, Zhonya, going to rabadons.

Xayah had IE, PD, BT, Zerker, GA, and Hurricane. <- 0 MR.

At level 16 (both). I R Q W E Her. She lives. I Zhonya's and Do my R W Q again. She lived and kills me.

Reason why.

1: I didn't have GW. Her lifesteal was insane.

2: Her support literally made me useless by giving her like 300 hp to survive.

3: She does more damage than I do in a shorter time frame.

You know, I really feel like I got outplayed there. Can't even jump on an ADC from fog of war without dying. Time to start building Duskblade on Kass I guess.

Note: I know my build was pretty trollish, but it was a normals. I just didn't expect that to fail me because lifesteal just is good on ADC's. #OopsCantPlayFunBuilds

Kassadin's not particularly strong unless he's ahead. He doesn't kill people in 1 rotation unless he has like +1 item on them or more. Good ADC players know that even if they take 80% of their health from a Kassadin they can lifesteal back up and kill him before he can finish them off.

The enemy ADC was at full build so yeah it will shit on a 5 item Kassadin.

True.

I'm not really pissed off that I lost because Xayah was ahead. I am more so pissed off that, by any means. If I had Morellos. Xayah would have died to my second round of R W Q. But because I didn't have it. She was able to fully lifesteal during my zhonya's off of the 8 or 9 minions around her.

I personally think that mages need more options in terms of GW. Like ADC's can get it at 800 gold and just sit on it if they are against someone with life steal.

But imagine someone like Vlad, Akali, Viktor. Who really don't want to first item Morellonomicon. but are against champions with lifesteal. They end up getting useless stats and can't even do anything about lifesteal.

Thats the complaint I have. GW is too limited by being a full item purchase.

The only way to make GW fair across the board would make it only on full items.

Aka Mortal Reminder, and Thornmail. But if you do that, then you have a problem again. Soraka, Fiora, Trundle, Irelia, Nami, etc all become strong again. Because now the ADC and top laners have to rush a full item for the GW. But mid lane. If you make GW easier to get then the only champion that would hate this would be vlad and swain.

But Morello shouldn't be the only item with GW on it for Mages. Since we have so many different variation of mages. Making every mage build a damn morello is dumb. Because that just means that the item is broken.

Personally I'd prefer they remove GW and change lifesteal so you just get 50% from attacking non-champion units.

Personally, Lifesteal and Healing are just way too strong. Hence why they added GW to thornmail and made a super op tank item top. Bramble vest.

I would enjoy another GW item if they made it pretty situational.

"2: Her support literally made me useless by giving her like 300 hp to survive."

as a carry you're not supposed to win a 1v2 scenario when up against another carry, just saying

Have you seen Rengar, Kha, Wukong, Talon, Zed, Akali (with duskblade).

They don't even care if the whole enemy team is there. If they find the ADC and Support together. They will just kill them both with no regards to who is around unless it is a tank like Poppy, shen, mao, ornn. But thats because those guys are broken.

Also on top of that. So if an assassin isn't suppose to win against a adc with a support. Then what is the point of having an assassin? Just to dick down mid laners? So we have no people that can kill adc's in the game anymore?

I'm not saying that Kass should be buffed because of this example. I am saying that GW being on only one item for mages, AT FULL COST. not at 800 gold. Is dumb because you don't always want to build that item.
