@Riot, please lower the cooldown on Kassadin's W

Hello.

Some time ago in patch 4.12, you increased the cooldown on Kassadin's nether blade and lowered the duration on force pulse, because you didn't want to touch his iconic mobility. In 4.14, you did touch his mobility in what was a fairly reasonable nerf.

As it stands now though it just feels like Kassadin doesn't do any damage. I don't mean he doesn't do damage early game, I mean he doesn't do damage. Like at all.

His abilities are all either hard cooldown gated (that is, they don't go down by level) or stack gated, except for his ult which he can't really afford to spam, and his damages are some of the lowest in the game, lower than many supports.

Ideally I'd prefer if the 4.12 changes were reverted, but at the very least, if the cooldown of W could at least go down by level, it wouldn't feel so bad to level it.

You said in your 5.2 video that you don't hate assassins, please help... ;_;
