@Riot: Can we talk about Kassadin?

I know he's gotten small buffs every since he got beaten bad with a bat, but will he possibly be looked at for the mage update? I'm not saying he needs a rework or anything, but his numbers just feel to small, the only way he can fight back in lane is spam the enemy with Q. It'd be nice if maybe one of his spells did more base damage or scale better. Because like, he needs to be extremely fed to actually be a threat, and he's not that difficult to peel off. His q is basically healed back up by any sorts of sustain, whether its feast, or just spellvamp, his W is basically never going to hit an enemy unless he rifts right on top of them, and that's extremely risky, his E is very nice, which I think is really the only big damage that he spits out. His ultimate is nice I suppose, but casting it to get those 3 stacks is very taxing, if you don't go tear or gauntlet, RoA is nice, but won't let you use more then a few rifts.

Just curious, I'm still trying to play him now, but he's very rarely viable. Thanks!
