That's because he's completely defined by his early game. If by 10 minutes he doesn't have at kill, he's infinitely far behind most other junglers. Add to that decent players will hear the giggle and/or see the smoke (which you can see inside brush/fog) when he decieves in, it makes it extremely hard to be worth it. That said, at lower ELOs, people don't watch for shaco ganks and are willing to overextend like mad when shaco is about. | ||

Picks panth jungle not realizing theres another jungle on the team, forgets to change masteries, flashes on fountain while typing about how he has the wrong masteries, then realizes he has double jungle and opens ward 5 health pot 3 mana pot, decides to lanesmite top but dies in their jungle trying to smite their wraith, unable to escape cuz he has no flash real terror | ||

So better just to ban him, and go on with the game.  (* We won that 4v5 btw, Kass had like 35 cs when i had 150 as sivir.  ) | ||

Has the hp per level increase on jax made him scale a bit too well? It was only my 2nd time playing kennen solo top, but I was laning vs jax and I had him at his tower until lvl 7 at 20% hp. Then we both come back with boots/pots and a hextech revolver and at that point he became immovable and took half my hp with with a leap strike into stun cuz his base move speed is faster -_- eventually he just started tower diving me and went 5-1 in my lane. | ||

I had a game where i left Kassadin open, and did not take him, and one of our guys went afk at fountain, only saying something like /all report this fucker, not banning kass, i am AFK!*. So better just to ban him, and go on with the game. (* We won that 4v5 btw, Kass had like 35 cs when i had 150 as sivir. )Why does everyone think Kassadin is broken anyway? It really doesn't make sense to me. He wins some lanes really hard... but a lot of Champs win some lanes really hard. Kass loses just as many lanes really hard as he wins really hard as well. Banning Kassadin like banning Akali, no reason to because if you pick the right teamcomp they really aren't that scary at all. I dunno, maybe people really hate his ulti? | ||

I don't think anyone considers Kass broken nowadays (i consider him strong lategamer with quite weak earlygame), he is just one of these bans like Shaco - the main reason why you ban him should be because in solo queue trusting your teammates is a bad idea. They both can be unkillable if played right and can be really heavy if not played correctly. | ||

Especially if Kass is the only one getting fed on the enemy team, it's pretty easy to win lategame. As soon as your ranged AD doesn't instantly die from his combo, Kass is pretty much shut down. | ||

He doesn't even win that many lanes hard. His pre 6 is really weak, after that he can shit on some of the ap champs. His strength is in his roaming (why he is banned in soloqueue), not his lane matchups. He is probably the easiest to shut down champ, just put like any bruiser against him and in the ideal case steal all his blues. For hilarity, put Pantheon against him. Kassadin will get dominated so hilariously hard in lane and when he tries to roam and gank, Pantheon just follows him with a mandrop. Too bad my low elo teams just didn't listen when I tell them to switch mid and top and put yorick against kassadin. | ||

Banning Kassadin like banning Akali, no reason to because if you pick the right teamcomp they really aren't that scary at all. I dunno, maybe people really hate his ulti? Kass isn't overpowered but very abusive. As you say, you need the right team comp and more importantly people need to take into account that if Kass goes missing, he can come from pretty much anywhere because he more or less ignores walls due to his ulti. You can't trust people to do that at lower elo's. So the easy solution is to ban him and spare yourself the headache of typing and pinging the entire game while praying that your team reacts to your warnings. Also countering him in lane only works when you can pin him down otherwise he will just roam and if your team isn't careful, he will pick up kills anyways. Regarding counters my personal favourite is Sivir. He can't do anything against her because it is so easy to spell shield his Q. At six he will be so far behind that he can't even jump you anymore and no matter at which point in the laning phase you will always block at least part of his combo. | ||
