What makes Kassadin dangerous
Kassadin is weak and passive early but becomes one of the scariest scaling mids in the game. His ultimate is a short-cooldown blink that lets him engage, dodge and reposition endlessly, while his kit shields against magic and silences. Once he hits level 16 he can one-shot squishies and is almost impossible to pin down.
How to play against Kassadin
- 1Punish him HARD before level 6-16 — Kassadin is one of the weakest early laners. Push, roam, take plates and end the game before he scales.
- 2Deny his farm and level lead. His power is entirely tied to hitting his level spikes; slow his XP and you delay his takeover.
- 3In the late game he'll blink onto your carry — bring hard CC and peel. His only defense is mobility, so lock him down the moment he engages.
- 4Close the game as a team before ~35 minutes. The longer it goes, the more unbeatable Kassadin becomes.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Extremely weak early game — abuse the first 15 minutes.
- ✓Scaling-dependent; a fast game denies his spikes.
- ✓Squishy and killable if you lock his mobility with CC.
- ✓Falls behind if denied farm and XP.

Krok przez WymiaryKassadin teleportuje się w pobliskie miejsce, zadając obrażenia znajdującym się tam wrogim jednostkom. Z każdym kolejnym użyciem Krok przez Wymiary kosztuje więcej many i zadaje dodatkowe obrażenia.
Strong: a short-cooldown blink — endless engage, dodge and escape, near-unkillable late. Weak: costs escalating mana; bait blinks to drain him, and CC him the instant he arrives.
Itemization
Kassadin is AP (with magic-damage scaling). Early magic resist blunts his poke, but the real answer is tempo: end before he scales. Late game, hard CC and a Zhonya's/Banshee's on your carry survive his blink burst.
