1500 elo is making me confused. I generally preform well every game, and some games we get amazing team comps and no one needs direction and it's pleasant stomps.

Then sometimes I get AD Soraka. I get so close to escaping but just can't.

How do you lane kassadin vs malz when malz can just E you before your Q hits and then just throw some autos on you+ the voidling?

Please don't pick kassadin. Also Pendragon said people aren't reporting eachother enough, so whenever I'll feel like playing on my main again ima start reporting Kassadins Crocs and such :X

K the korean commentators are morons. They commentate on tournament servers and sit on the team without nocturne-.-


Kass vs Malz is a pretty funky mindgames battle, if you can chicken Malz out before he Es you can always land a Q and run, as Kass' cast animation on Q is like nonexistant; you need fast hands though. You also need Malz to be slow- I run Anivia quints on Malz so I can almost always catch up to E when he goes for a Q, so he really needs to abuse the 150 range (ie. dance back the moment I start running at him) or I'll always land an E.

For my part the #1 thing I do as Malz is keep Kass honest against creep - if he goes for a last hit I'll fire off a denying Q; he can either eat the shot or miss his last hit. After a certain point if I know his mana can't handle it I'll also push a wave or two just to fuck with him.

When you're Kass though if you can mindgame enough Qs down then you'll pick up a health advantage pretty fast and start landing some random Q->Es (later in levels; early the low level E does nothing). This matchup is entirely footsies.


I don't think there's any mindgames to it, lol, it's just animation canceling, same as most kass vs caster matchups

E vs Q is animation canceling and footsies, landing Q is devastating for the Kassadin though and is definitely where mindgames and skillshotting comes into play. Bad/mediocre Malz players don't land the Q very well, whereas solid/good Malz players will consistently land Qs when you try to Q and cockblock you into a free Q->E combo. Good Kass players thus try to bait out and dodge the Q.

I think alot of fighting game knowledge and skill goes with league of legends. Footsies and Spacing are really important, as well as knowing matchups, and many of the same mindgames apply.

Never open crystal vs malz, I got raped so hard... I don't know what I was thinking.

Also what 150 range? Kass Q is 700, Malz Q is 900 E 700 auto 550.

I agree the part about mindgames. Dem mindgames rule all.

The thing with kass right now is that the current reason behind the solos that get picked is that you want to be able to trade rather than to just win your lane or lead in cs. You no longer just toss your Q and cs with the best attack animation in the game.
Like it or not, kass is still squishy as shit and with exhaust's rise in popularity chances are you can fuck up his waves and make him look silly for leaping in and wasting his big nuke.

Also right now kass is a fairly shitty ganker compared to alternatives, and he needs to snowball to be consistent. People have stopped falling for dragon baits, depending on teamcomp I'd say that Kass is outclassed in his role by both Kat and Leblunk.

lol...
No new meme please.

I mean if you make a thorough post and do 8/10, sure, go for it. But I rather not people post a single sentence + a rating or worse yet, just a rating. That's mundane spamming.

Thanks.

Edit: haha, and for the record, I'm with Smash. Agreed with r33k until his suggestions.

I tend to make judgments based on feel and then figure out why I felt that way later. I don't like Kass because he loses too many lane matchups and has a hard time hitting his power level... and even if he does I feel like he's lost a lot of his battle control due to jumpers and the nerf to silence and his slow cooldown. Back when I used to play him you could dictate battles and flow of game, I no longer get that feeling from him. As such I don't even really care how viable he is or whatnot, I just don't get what I want from him anymore.
