Why I think Kassadin, right now, is a good Assassin/Tank.

His passive reduces spells by 15%.

His Q gives a shield.

His W sustains mana.

His E is a slow.

His R is based of his mana.

Can it work?

What if you did tanky masteries? What if you gave him MR runes, armor runes, mana runes, and health runes?

His build usually calls for a and he can build with no repercussions since he's also a melee.

All of his abilities can only poke at an enemy unless you get a lot of AP, thereby making Kassadin squishy and easy to kill.

If an enemy buys , it only ignores 20% of my MR because of my awesome passive. I can build 100 MR easy, and still block 80 MR worth of the spell.

While Kassadin's kit is broken, why not play with it? See what we can do while they try to fix it. I may not have the burst others have, but I can still out tank them if I must.
