To further promote actually going into Melee range and trading, aka allowing him to further optimize into tankier items like he already can do with his Ultimate.
If he has to be 450 range from someone instead of 700 to R them, allow him to get a lot of benefit from actually reaching you. Especially with how many Kass players pick up 
thinking man1 votesGive him his ult range, gut his Q damage, buff W damage
or just gut Q damage
he really just needs his Q nerfed

Possibly only give him the shield after it hits instead of immediately after clicking on them?
I feel like you cant buff his W with his R range where it was. His trading in lane or whatever is sorta bad, but if he just ignores that and auto deletes people and can ignore an entire frontline no matter how badly his laning went then its an issue.

His Q's probably always going to be a problem as long as it's a ranged point-and-click high damage nuke, but that's a start I guess.

I honestly feel like Kass's problems aren't really his laning, its the safety that comes from 700 range.
I wouldnt be surprised if Riot is trying to figure out how to buff a Kass with a much more limited range to engage and escape.

I think it's the burst moreso than the 700 range, and his Q is a big problem.
It Is I Emoto1 votesI feel really sad that the range nerf got in the live servers.. yet, how about make him stack with mana? Like Nasus can stack damage on his Q and veigar Ability power with his Q, how about that his W allows him to stack mana? It would allow him to be more mobile at late game, even with the nerf of his range.
J Eevo1 votesQ doesn't do that much damage, it's more about the fact that it's a long range targeted spell,it's too reliable at what it does. As for giving W a max mana to damage - they won't make him Ryze, and anything less means mana will still be a bad pick for him(Ult scaling is garbage) I personally prefer going less mana heavy since the only upside from mana is 1 more jump AT MOST if you're spamming them, and if you're not then you don't need it
