Kassadin is a strong pick at the moment...

Should be renamed Kassawin.

In b4 Korea copies my LCS silver meta pick.

I'm serious though. I don't get it when people say he needs a buff or a rework. He's perfect right now. All you need is good timing (patience), good roaming (map awareness) and knowing how to in and out in team fights (learning your cooldowns). He wrecks Lux, Leblanc, Katarina, Orianna, Brand, Ahri, Twisted Fate, Ziggs etc. His identity as an anti-mage assassin is true. A well played Kassadin is still a nightmare to deal with.

The reason a lot of people are saying he needs a buff is because of all the ad assassins mid. His passive and q barrier is useless against them.

He's an anti mage assassin. That's his identity. Instead of wanting to buff him so he can go toe to toe against AD assassins, pick something else when you face Zed, Talon etc.

You can't buff a champ with a kit like Kassadin otherwise he becomes way too strong and gets nerfed again. He excels at fighting mages and in my opinion that's how it should be.

I agree with you on that. It's just salty kass mains that want him buffed because of the new item.

If you ever first pick kassadin, you're probably not going to do well. He's a counter pick.

yeah well same thing could be said for alot of champs. There are clear counterpicks but a good player knows how to deal with counters. IMO that's what differentiate people who main champs and people who just play them.

True Kassadin mains don't first pick him.

A Kassadin played right is a nightmare to anyone, specifically those who can play around his weaknesses such as early game and His overall squishyness.

Don't listen to those "DAE Kassadin is trash and needs buff" people, they probably just got him when Cosmic Reaver came out.

In truth, compared to most of the broken trash right now, Kassadin is the epitome of balance right now, and it's hilarious because before that He was the most broken thing in the whole game.

If anything, it's that the current state of the game is making AD more favorable than AP, which Kassadin doesn't fare well against until late game.
