@Riot Jungle Kassadin?

I think a nice change to Kassadin would be to allow his "Q" to shield from monster damage in the jungle that way he could have a safer and better clear. At first Kassadin jungle sounds a bit silly but in reality most of the AP assassins can be played effectively either mid or in the jungle (Fizz ,Nidalee, Ekko, and Evelynn ). Since item 3724 works really well with his kit I think the change would be a nice buff to Kassadin without actually having to change any his numbers.

(Plus with Cosmic Reaver coming out soon I think it would be nice to see another lane besides mid getting to experience the awesomeness.)

Is mid his only lane?

If so then yeah, let him jungle.

I don't see why it can't just shield from "damage" and not just magic damage specifically.

Like fizz and ekko, I would agree that Kass has a lot of gank utility - especially with the slow.

Dude, i've tried this for a few games before i found the post. i must say, the q change would be helpful. Currently, he takes so much damage from the first clear its ridiculous, and he becomes far to easy to get first-blooded by a counterjungle at all.

There is a dude in EU, i don't remember his ELO but was at least Diamond, that only plays Kassadin Jungle AD. And he owns the game.

That's a cool idea and I definitely like the idea of another AP jungle, but it would have some issues in terms of clarity. Since monsters do physical damage and it is currently just a magic shield, what would it look like on his health bar? If it looked like a normal shield it would be misleading, but the same would be true if it looked the way it does now.

i actually jungle him occasionally since S2, wouldn´t mind buffs though.

Make his Q shield just block all damage instead of magic damage. It's a pretty garbage shield atm

I play him AD Jungle and it's really fun.

The high base AD and mobility you get from his R are amazing! I've never played AP Kass in my life though so I wouldn't exactly know where to start for him in the Jungle.

Strategic Diversity! I love it! Kassadino has been struggling for a while so it would be nice to see him have some more options. Riot you are all about this stuff right?

My friend actually tried this the other day. He got extremely fed somehow. I have no fucking clue how.

maikokk10/13/2015, 4:46:25 AM1 votes

ya hes way too underpowered ATM and letting him jung would fix this without turning him into facemelter again.

LordForrest10/13/2015, 8:36:45 AM1 votes

At first i was like hell naw, then i thought about, and now i wanna do it. Jeez, level 6 would be so much fun for invades or baron/dragon steals.

After having his mobility Nerfed and denied the balance he deserved. Kassadin lost his cool and now wonders the jungle by the name Karzan swinging on trees.

Riot: Hmm... Kassadin swinging with vines.... Too much mobility. Nerfed. ** releases 5 high mobility champions after**
