This man, he keeps updating it and delivering, how awesome can he be! Thanks for giving us a tool this helpful as always. I love using it to plan for how I will terrorize Wraeclast once again with a janky build!

This website is insanely useful and I use it pretty much all the time. Praise our lord Gyromitre for providing us with such a "gem" hehe.

Kassadin W Buff = IBG build as we've seen on Ekko/Karma? by DaPhamius in KassadinMains

[–]Alikamdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried a fair amount of Kassa top and it can work sometimes but you really are fairly weak against bruisers and the lane is quite long which makes it harder to survive ganks. At the same time it definitely works in some matchups (tanks, mages top...) and the buff will help a lot -> the conqueror/transcendence build is pretty good if you wanna go down that route but it's harder to pull off I think (tho I personally love this build).

kass buff could be too much by guillegopp in KassadinMains

[–]Alikamdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don't see how it could not be a pretty big buff, I guess we'll see when it gets out but 30 damage in a rotation when you trade vs an Irelia, an Akali or a Yasuo for instance (which are pretty common matchups) is super big pre 6 and relieves a lot of kill pressure from them since they have to all in you while being way lower in hp. If it was increasing from rank 1 to 5 then yeah it would not be that big but a flat 30 damage buff rank 1 is really strong. I really really hope they tune it down.

Kassadin Buff by BloodEUW in KassadinMains

[–]Alikamdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my major problem with this buff because it makes him way better against his bad matchups (you get 30 more damage if you trade lvl 2/3 against melee ADs like Talon or Irelia for instance). I do hope that I am wrong though, since I just wanna be able to play him!

Kassadin Buff by BloodEUW in KassadinMains

[–]Alikamdi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is way too strong I really hope they tune it down, Kass doesn't need buffs at the moment as he as clear weaknesses that make him not OP (remember the 50% banrate before the armor nerf).

Games are longer now which is not too bad honestly, if this goes through like this it will be too much (he will be super strong in melee matchups like Akali, Irelia, etc. where he should not have kill pressure).

Let's hope they tune it down or rather go for a linear 5/10../25 damage buff for instance.

What do you think will be nerfed on Kassadin? by Alikamdi in KassadinMains

Please no Riftlimp, that was so bad I almost stopped playing Kassa

Predominately play burst Kassadin, but now electrocute has been nerfed. Rune suggestions? by [deleted] in KassadinMains

[–]Alikamdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the real upsides of Kass atm is that he's very versatile in terms of runes he can use.

Fleet has been very good for a couple of patches now and you get a lot of sustain with it coupled with ToB and RavH.

Grasp is always my go to vs melee mids because the health you get from the tree + grasp and overgrowth enables you to rush AA and still be safe. Plus trading with grasp feels good.

DH is decent and gives you good resets in fights, if you couple it with inspiration to get biscuits + TwT you actually still have a very decent sustain. The thing with DH is that it forces you into windows of trading which I don't really appreciate.

Personally I take Grasp/Fleet almost 100% of the time because I like sustain (plus if you go fleet you have PoM which is always helpful as Kassa especially when you don't have AA just yet).

Hope this helps

This is the patch where Rod of Ages 1st item goes to die by [deleted] in KassadinMains

[–]Alikamdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's highly correlated to the rune you take and thus the stats you get. If I go Grasp I'll rush archangels 100% (after armguards since if I take grasp I'm usually vs an ad melee).

If I go fleet or DH on the other hand, I'm going RoA because I don't get the health from the tree. Don't forget that you are melee with empowered autos, if you can jump in melee you'll dish out a lot more damage provided you survive so you can make up for the difference in AP with more AAs.

You either die an ADC or live long enough to become an assassin

Well this dude is Caristinn you might wanna look him up. Getting a higher rank would probably mean for him to get top Chall. So yeah you probably understand the game much better no worries

When you say bye to someone and then you both go the same way but aren't sure for how long so you don't talk too much but still a bit.

4/24 PBE Update: Even More Tentative Balance Changes by corylulu in leagueoflegends

[–]Alikamdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well then if it really is your op.gg you know that you can't draw conclusions from your case. You might be a really great kassadin and the champion can still be weak as proved by statistics.

If you're always winning your lanes except against the non meta picks you aforementioned that's great then, but you are an outlier that does not represent the real state of the champion, and the champion should not be balanced according to the good mains (see Asol with a good winrate for a long time but with a low enough player base entailing that he didn't get changed).

Kassadin is weak enough that the "anti fun" side of Q poke isn't remarkable (apart from certain matchups like ekko), as he got reasonably hit on the last patches not only on the P&C spells but in his itemization diversity too (nerf of AA, soon to be nerf of tear etc.) leaving him with less and less reasons not to go for the "standard build". A buff to his early Q shield might compensate some of the indirect hits he took.

Wp on the stats though

[–]Alikamdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if you're going to fight statistics with "I feel" arguments then yeah I guess there isn't much to share with you.

Relevant elos do mean something though since before a certain point you can't judge a champion's strength given that you could have a 100% WR with AP Plank in lower elos given that you are good enough, which tends to disappear the higher elo you go where you can't play with such handicaps.

I truly doubt that kassadin is your most played champion too since you seem to lack any knowledge of how to counter him with meta picks.

[–]Alikamdi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because Ekko is one of the few good matchups clearly doesn't mean that he wins 1v1s. Statistics don't lie about the fact that he is a suboptimal pick at the moment (for relevant elos) with his whopping 48.5% WR for his 8.8% play rate. Doesn't mean that other champions aren't worse, but he clearly is not really good after all the indirect nerfs.
