Just now realizing that Kassadin isn't really a Void champion

His only "Void" abilities are from the Void Stone he carries.

His passive is a Void Stone that collects magic energy.

His Q and E are releasing all that energy.

Those are his only "Void" abilities.

His W isn't a void blade, it's simply a null energy blade he stole.

His R isn't a void technique either, he's using Zaunite technology to Riftwalk around.

His lore says he's corrupted, but it's described as more of a parasitical virus than an enhancement. He's even using Zaunite technology to suppress it (his mask).

My life is a lie.

Edit: It makes sense though. It's unreasonable to imagine that some random human could just adapt to Void energy and manipulate it. This isn't the same thing as Kai'Sa, who integrated with a Voidling. Or Malzahar, who became a corrupted prophet of the Void and enacts its will.

I mean...yeah, he isn't a void champion.

Edit: lore wise I meant, he technically isn’t a being of the void.

I'm pretty sure that Kassadins R is supposed to be him entering the void for a second and emerging somewhere else.

Also his Q is described as an orb of void energy,so even though his nullblade isn't necessarily void related(we can't even be sure about that),it does use the void as an attack.

And last but not least I don't see a reason why a "void-champ" has to use voidpowered attacks in his whole skillset anyway. If Malzahr threw his dagger for his Q,would he be not a void champ,just because one of his 5 abilities doesn't have to do with the void?No,he'd still be a void champ.

Yea. New lore never mentions anything he can do being because of the void. Apparently it’s because of all these “items” he has.

Now there’s a big disconnect between his lore and his art/gameplay

He is though, even the title is ''The Void Walker'' https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/region/void/champions
