Who this champion beats in lane, and who beats it.Who counters Kassadin and who Kassadin beats
Kassadin has one of the worst early games in the entire mid lane, and that is the door you have to walk through to beat him. Before level six he has no Riftwalk, so he is a slow melee champion with short range who has to risk walking up to do anything, and a strong laner can shove him under tower and starve him out. His passive eats 15 percent of magic damage and his Null Sphere both silences and shields him from magic, so AP poke struggles to crack him, but raw burst and hard crowd control still do. The real key is that Riftwalk is a short blink, not a long escape, so anything that stuns, roots, or cages him locks the slippery part of his kit right out. Punish him early, deny him the gold and levels he desperately needs, and you never let the late game version show up. When you pick Kassadin, you are betting you can survive a miserable laning phase to reach the part of the game where you take over.
