Kassadin Animations

I've been playing kassadin since season 3 and I am mostly satisfied with his overall changes. I think the new auto attack and ability animations are great but I still feel his E and R are much less commanding and satisfying as they used to be. When his E was a quick and effortless motion it felt easiser to use, and when he ulted he would lean his head and body forward as if he were going through the void, now it just feels like hes blinking from one place to the next with a small circle behind him. It might just be me missing the old kassadin but I think they could improve him a little more.
