Is Kassidin a good buy?

Who's Kassidin?

He's fun to play.

He can be fun but as I understand he can be really hard to lane with until you hit 6 and even after that you need a lot of time to build up a good mana base with at least a RoA. That said, no one escapes him once he gets rolling.

He's been getting a lot of gradual buffs recently and is nearly good enough to be considered sleeper OP in my opinion. They buffed his R to have an AP ratio again (which adds up to around 500 or so damage late game for his burst combo) and there are also buffs on the PBE to increase his W AP ratio and reduce its cooldown.

He is a kind of risky pick, but if you get good at laning with him (which is pretty challenging pre-6) and can make it to mid-late game, he becomes a really slippery, bursty AP fighter/assassin.

I bought him but ended up refunding him about 2 weeks later. Basically he has a great late game, his mid game is mediocre, and his early game is downright awful. Like, REALLY bad. I've heard pros say he's really good but I simply dont see it. I not only think that other champs are more fun, but also bring more ot teamfights. It's your call though.

If you like his kit then yes play him...

Although not the best character out there, Kassadin can make a good mage, assassin in certain situations. From my experiences, most people don't know how to play against him. He can be fun to play, and has a decently healthy amount of damage. However, there are better picks. FIzz, Heimerdinger, etc. So really, Kassasdin is more of a champion you have to want to play.

Kassadin is an aquired taste. personally i like running around getting easy triple kills as him with my "Deep One" skin.
