Goodbye, Kassadin.

I have just seen this on the PBE, and I am just disappointed Riot can't calm down with these nerfs.

Riftwalk [ R ] Initial mana cost decreased from 75 at all ranks to 60 (stacking mana cost decreased from 75/150/300/600 to 60/120/240/480) Range decreased from 700 to 450

Look at that range decrease. That's massive, and it basically means that it's the end of Kassadin as we know it. The late game won't be worth, the jump is going to be awful.

Also, while I'm on the subject matter. Why is Janna getting buffed, she is still statistically one of the strongest supports in the game, better buff anyway.

Slight nerfs to J4. Don't care, they won't make a difference. RIP Veigar. RIP Morde, oh wait they are reverting stuff because the changes sucked.

Where are the Urgot Reworks, or the Elise and Evelynn buffs. They are nowhere to be seen, and why should Kassadin be nerfed when Ahri is still stupidly broken. Only Riot games know what they're doing but if I don't see any Eve changes soon.. I might be done.

In defense of Riot, we have been calling for an end to mobility creep. Even though I don't agree with the way Riot is going about it.

i think if Eve or Elise got any buffs they would become OP then people will cry for nerfs. I was actually starting to pick up Kassadin too, but I guess I will just go to back to Zed.......push lane, roam, get fed off other lanes, go back to my own lane get fed some more, end lane phase at 15/0, split push, 1v3 anyone that try to stop me, win game, rinse and repeat

His Voidrift was always meant to apply damage and get you in range for your advanced melee strike. As a result, this felt like he could come from nowhere near you and deal damage and you'd have to deal with it. It also might even allow people to chase the uncatchable little coward he can be sometimes. He can still tele walls which leaves him that but no longer can he just run away if you're in lane. People with Dashes/Movements I.E Ezreal, Kat, Diana, so he has more counterplay.

But I can see where you might be upset. His "Tele attack and tele out" may need some adjustment but overall proper positioning can allow you to attack and tele out by the wall near river. Idk, I don't play him.

Btw Janna's "buff" only gave her MS with her passive from her slow., while her previous 8% MS passive is now changed to people moving towards her, like Soraka passive but for teammates. Imagine a duo Raka and Janna. Speed for dayz.
