Dear Rito, On Nerfing Weak Champions

When you nerf a champion that is weak overall due to one particular strength, let's say Kassadin, could you please buff them in other areas?

I get that he was the most mobile champ in the league so you felt the need to tune that down, but he currently has a 41% winrate (lowest of all mids, stats used are plat-diamond patch 5.12). Maybe give him (and other weak champions that have been nerfed lately cough lb cough) some compensation in other areas.

Perhaps after being shot in the kneecaps Kassadin no longer needs to have the lowest base damages in the game by a landslide, or perhaps he could be given some semblance of waveclear so he doesn't automatically lose anytime the enemy team gets a lead and groups mid.

Suggest buffs: Q base MAGIC DAMAGE: 70 / 95 / 120 / 145 / 170 - > 70 / 100 / 130 / 160 / 190 E base MAGIC DAMAGE: 80 / 105 / 130 / 155 / 180 -> 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240

Adjusting the E mechanic so that it can be used more frequently as waveclear would also be nice. ty. Kassadin pls let me serve justice

do i would love kassadin buff as kassadin lover and probably one of the best kassadin players, i think he is slightly up in solo but he still sees play in pro play. i could see a little buff. but a noticeable like this would just make I'm super contested in pro play. you would think him as high skill high elo champ but indeed he is

I think they want kassadin to sit out for a bit after being top tier for about... 4 years or so. He still gets played here and there in the pros. They should just leave him and sort out other problems. He is ok for now.
