Why can kassadin drain mana to shield himself from units like vayne, and graves?

neither of them is even building mana. they purely rely on basic attacks.

what is the shield value that kassadin gets even based on, when there is no mana to drain? all i can say is he still gets a shield for some reason.

TFT doesnt use normal league logic. mana is used for pretty much all abilities.

The shield isn't linked to mana, it's a static number you can see when you hover his ability

I do think Kassadin and Demons should be intertwined in that regard and agree with OP. there should be something being drained to give Kassadin his shield or for the demon proc to do damage. if that would require compensation buffs, so be it. either that or Kassadin's description needs to be reworded but I prefer he actually has to drain mana to do it.

this '' bug'' or ''broken interaction'' is there since launch and you are amonst the few to have seen and talked about it

but like many others that can be abused or need to be avoided(ranged champs are a mess) it probly will be ignored since people play the game mode anyways

and like LOL we are gonna have a sht game/game mode full of bugs, broken champs, broken items, broken interaction that few people will see how bad it is and a lot of rose tinted riot fans will eagerly play and abuse for X reason

league of circus!... just a big joke!

Why does vayne passive stack in sheen's dodge field (and deal proc damage) in both tft and regular game, they took shortcuts in creating tft which should either all be fixed or all left.

Shen creates a zone around himself, allowing allies to dodge all attacks Duration : 3 / 4 / 5

He should only gain a shield from mana he drains imo. Draining full value from manaless champs and champs with 0 mana at the time makes no sense.

Are we seriously complaining about Kassadin of all units

The dude is melee only, has low base hp, and the shield is the only thing that enables him to not instantly blow up past early game. If he's attacking a Graves or something his mana burn function is entirely wasted.
