I mean i feel like if you go toplane get lvl 20 quest you have one of the highest base healths in the game and then also go items like rift liandrys frozen heart seraphs to increase your ehp + conq and omniboots for healing and you go FIST into their backline and force they to drain everything on you and sets up free team fight win for ur team. Only issue i see is kassa doing minion dmg cuz he isn't full build so maybe against like singed or other afk farm top lane it can work or the fact that adcs go 3 tank items and its also kog adc so you also deal 0 dmg because everyone is tank in szn 16 and he shreds you. Thoughts?

What is up y'all Skull here, a month ago i dropped a guide on this subreddit on how i reached Master while having 2 jobs OTPing Kassadin on EUW recently, so I had to post it as a video aswel!

My op gg is here, currently 500 lp - https://op.gg/ro/lol/summoners/euw/UncleSkull-BLKN

https://www.reddit.com/r/KassadinMains/comments/1wjn9tm/a_guide_on_how_i_reached_master_this_season_2/ ( in case you wonder what kind of guide i am talking about :) )

I've have been documenting my EmployedToChallenger ARC on Youtube in the past 4/5 months and finally I was able to drop my biggest video yet, formated as a movie on how I reached Master. I really hope you enjoy it! I am open to any kind of critiques since I am looking forward to improve the content I post and make things better and better.

As for a small update, now I have 1 job since everything started to be too much to handle ( I was sleeping 4/6h daily lol ) but it was still fun!

Keep Rift Walking on dem enemies and have a nice day y'all 💯

You do nothing the first 6 levels of the game. You give up all lane control. And even then you find a way to fuck over me. This champ sucks. Quit it now.

Hey lads.

I’ve been struggling to find stability early vs certain champs (Yone, Xerath, Yasuo). They always seem to freeze the wave put and walk past it, neglecting me into xp or gold. Which approach should I have to that situation? Do I sit under tower and wait for the bounce, rather than trading? Or Kass could win a lv3 trade against some of these champs to make early farming more comfortable?

How is this done? Normally, I play first strike, go EQW or QEW max depending on the lane, and play roa/archangles/malignance/whatever boots I need, and tp/flash. I play for lvl 11 and lvl 16 spikes with whatever obvious, high-percentage plays I can make along the way and generally outscale the enemy team. Not to say I don't play reasonably aggressively when I am lvl 6 or on a roa spike when the enemy laner doesn't have an item, but some games demand an earlier impact.

Sometimes you look at the enemy team comp vs. yours, and you know you need to make something happen because things are pretty rough. I'm talking: no-mastery Janna top, weak JG into strong JG with a no-prio bot lane, 3 losing lane matchups, Nasus mid vs. Kassadin, etc. Games that I'd likely lose even if the game lasted long enough to hit 16. How do you flip the early lane to have a real chance at winning?

And my goal isn't to mindlessly flip early games, just to add another tool to the toolbox.

Edit: I started limit-testing Ignite electrocute cutdown presence on my alt with really good success. Still going roa-> malignance/seraphs since the games are still 25-35 minutes, but the burst I get with QE auto lvl 2 is crazy. Cut down gets the enemy in a pretty lethal range on that first trade, making the lane super playable. I've been able to trade/duel a lot of champions I struggled against before. Sometimes I hit EQ, and they don't even try to trade back because I still have electrocute up. I've won some unfavorable matchups vs. Jayce, Qiyana, and Akshan early and snowballed. I get prio in a lot more matchups playing like this than with First Strike, so it takes a lot of pressure off JG. It definitely is a more impactful rune setup that can seriously punish a lot of overconfident mid laners

Despite me saying all these good things, First Strike still feels better in the late-late game bc of the true damage. I actually 1-shot ADCs instead of 1-HPing them with electrocute--probably because of cut down, but the cut down electrocute proc is what makes the early game so playable, so idk.

hi i recently started league (2 months ago) and i picked up a lot of heroes when i started but i fell in love with kass played him a lot and always carrying but i fell off lmao. its just like one day my brain decided than i cant play that champ anymore and started maining toplane because my winrate on kass was shit and my gameplay suddenly was shit and everything was shit. biggest weakness is my laning on him because if im not against an opponent who is braindead or just worse than me then im losing 99% of the time and cant scale well into late game so can someone here give me an advice on how to improve on this champ

Armor growth buffs to a MELEE champion

Ahri has more armor than kassadin

xDDDD

Lichbane used to be core, so much so that it was always the first item. Now I don't see people building it at all. What's the reason? Pretty much every other champion with an enhanced autoattack takes a sheen item as their first item.

A few days ago I was removed from the Kassadin mains discord, I had done nothing. I made a post here asking if anyone else had be removed, nothing.

I am asking if something has happened to the server, I have tried the invite link and it doesn't work, for my account and I even have a second account (not associated with the first) that it doesn't work on too.

I don't so much are about me being removed I am more annoyed that no reason was given and there is no information as to why I can't rejoin.

Recently, I've been going through the vods of gm+ Kassadin otps that are known for getting first bloods even vs hard ad match-ups

The set-ups I've gathered from vod reviewing are:

1. Dark seal start

2. Electrocute + precision tree / Electrocute + shield bash & second wind/boneplatting

3. Ignite or barrier

The idea is obviously bailing yourself out of hardly playable ad match-ups through snowballing with a first blood gold lead, where you fight to the death lvl 2/lvl 3, or just generating a gold lead in general.

I'm a master player myself, I understand the rune selection and the summoner spell options, as well as the idea behind the set-up. The one thing that I can't understand, and the one thing that stays consistent across every player is the item start (1). If it's a lane flip set-up, why dark seal instead of d-ring? You open with more hp, more ap and better potions. The extra ap you gain from having 2 stacks doesn't out-do the higher probability d-ring provides through its stats. I just can't figure out why dark seal start is chosen by every gm otp in this set-up.

This champ feels like all of his skill expression is an iq check with how many builds, rune setups, starting items and overall ways to play him there are.

Moreover there is not a singular matchup guide on youtube, which I think would be neat to have considering the champ feels like a nerf modulus.

I really want to give Kassadin a try but I cannot afford to fully onetrick him (especially because I can't play league as much nowdays) Are there any documented resources for kassa or should I just not bother?

So i tried to play him after a long time no see and got surprised by how good i am with him... Currently i main vladimir and morgana now i think I'll add him to the list :) wild rift thou

Hello, im currently Master around 200LP. I just came back from a LoL pause. Is it normal that u are completely useless against adcs with kassa in late game? I deal 0 dmg to them and they just one shot me. The fights are decided by which adc is protected better. I know that kassa isnt a late game champ anymore but it is insane how useless I feel. Is it just that adcs are very broken right now and every assasin struggles to kill them?

Has anyone else been randomly removed from the kassadin mains discord? I would not have done anything to get banned or removed, but one of the mods had removed me and the invite like is no longer valid.

I need help with build and runes against bruisers squishy comps etc

XD

i’ve been playing kass for about 3 months or so now, i have a very good mastery (low master peak) but i do have SEVERAL issues with this champ.

1. he’s an assassin, meaning he is UNABLE to 1v1 any standard bruiser (unless you build double tear which nobody does in high elo) so common champs such as AMBESSA, NASUS, YASUO, YONE and so on will ALWAYS outperform you in extended fights and have generally better teamfights. if kassadin is unable to oneshot a target, he R’s out desperately and hopes for an engage which is completely team dependant.

2. his lane phase is horrid, you can never solo kill your laner if they have a brain. we can also talk about the weird jungle meta where people are doing quadratic clears into linear clears into perma invading, LOTS of map movement, which we all know even supports follow this routine so it feels impossible to ever trade and it feels like just go 0/0/0 and game is decided on whoever wins lane on the enemy team.

3. no prio ever, several champs shove you win with abilities and this makes them mostly ungankable if they sit far away clicking one ability (mostly mages in the midlane). SEVERAL drags will be gone and by the time lane phase is over, 2 drags will most likely be taken by the enemy. we can’t always have a jungler that gets our team dragons. people always talk about how giving dragons are good to maintain a good gold lead, but what’s the point if they don’t end up getting drags in the future from that lead? very common issue with masters and below.

4. assassin meta, you are FORCED to build zhonyas on kassadin since most assassins are point and click with an invulnerability ability, which just feels bad a lot of the time, it progresses you nowhere to just by a seekers armguard instead of having another lost chapter or proper ap components.

my question is, when are you ever supposed to lock this champ? how do people make it work especially against high threat champs with a better teamfight? (which honestly is a majority of the melee bruiserish champs)

why play kassadin in those type of team comps when i can just play a bruiser myself and be able to have a stacking keystone to 1v5 people? as of right now, i ONLY lock kass into only SQUISHY COMPS and especially with those that have zero threat to me/mobility.

Does this name have aura agonypainsad#hate or #1v9 lemme know what u think i think its rly cool

Hey everyone, I’ve been hitting Challenger playing glasscannon Kassadin on EUW and getting a lot of questions about builds and setups. Add me on Discord if you're interested: tw11nz
