Kassadin usability? (In all roles but adc?)

Kassadin ADC. Good lord.

Ehem. Hey there, Master Fledgling here.

Long story short: Nerfs, buffs, nerfs. The life of Kassadin. Currently he seems to be at an OK spot, his ultimate definitely shorter than usual, but the cost and cool down is reduced by a fair amount. That out of the way, can he do anything other than mid and top? I am always looking for new support junglers, and since his laning is notoriously bad till he gets some items, perhaps a jungler or reserved support would be a good idea. Now, I know that supports don't get much gold, but they don't really need to worry about last hitting either. Stacking enough gold income through ulterior ways and building tanky would make for a good disruption kassadin, Continuously jumping into the enemy to slow them, perhaps doing constant tick damage through a sunfire or something of the nature. Maybe a lyandry's tormet for constant percentage damage. Just a thought.

Let me know if this has any merit,

-MF Kassadin

I've seen jungle Kassadin, its doable. Support not so much. That whole 'laning phase is bad' part means you can't do anything in lane. He has no hard CC, only a slow, his shield only protects himself from a small amount of magic damage early game, and overall has nothing to help the adc in the early game. Honestly would probably just lead to a lost lane. Assuming you can at least go even in lane, your mid game will be bad because you won't have enough gold to do anything useful. You have no real engage/disengage/peel tools, so as far as being a support goes, you'd be rather worthless.
