So after trying out a lot of different builds, after I've gotten used to watching my riftwalk stacks a lot more closely the one that has been my favorite is

doran's shield + hp
cata
boots 1
SS
RoA
sorcerer's
zhonya's
void staff
banshee's/RoA

Thanks for the help refining my build, southlight.

im really glad i tried to get good at kass awhile back. it really taught me alot about teamfight dynamics because kass plays such an interesting role in them. and if you dont really do it right you just die immediately.

also just played normal 5s with locicero and some other ppl as kass and sucked ass. they REALLY didnt like me and kept FFing me >_<. i just turned into a snarebot so rammus,mundo and panth could catch up.

*edit
also uta what do you do vs sivir? do you just abandon Q and throw points into E? spell shield imba against slow missiles

Yes, I do. :D

Edit:
At least one point in Q just to take off Spellshield when you need the snare.

This is a totally wrong way to play Kassadin, the League of Legends homepage lists the champion as a melee / fighter / carry / farmer champion, you should stack crit and AD to have synergy with the AS boost from his passive and the armor pen from his W [/endtroll]

On a more serious note, nice guide :p

Hey utah, I'm pretty new to kassadin but I was in a game earlier today playing as him and I have couple questions. I was carrying my team pretty hard when the enemy kassadin basically starts playing what I guess I would describe as hybrid kassadin to counter me. His build was as follows

Merc treads
Gunblade
Rageblade
Lichbane
Malady
GA

Point is he was tearing me apart by waiting for me to rift-walk in, silencing so I can't escape, then bursting me down and forcing me to fight melee against him. It was devastating. I had double RoA, Banshees, Zhonya, void staff, and soulstealer. What would you do vs something like that?

Get some Armor. GA instead of Banshee's. Drop the SS if there aren't more than 10 charges. Same with Void Staff. If you're getting hard countered by another champion, don't stick with your glass cannon build. You're getting whittled down by physical attacks, drop some MR and AP and pick up some armor.

Drop priority SS >= Void Staff > Banshee's. Selling a Banshee's always hurt, so here's to hoping that you're adapting your build while you play and picking up a GA instead of a Banshee's.

melee kass sucks because he's reliant on being in melee range

get a ga if you had double roa already and get some mitigation. his build is reliant on standing there dpsing you for like 4-5 seconds, which is bad when his build is quite squishy like that. of course melee kass > ap kass 1v1

no one mentioning that he should've had merc treads, LOLOLOLOL.

just because you have a 3 second CD flash doesn't mean you don't need move speed and that debuff reduction would've done wonders :p.

I just don't understand how that Kassadin didn't explode every time he tried to Rift at someone to kill them. Is like Arcane Shifting into the enemy team to hit them from melee range with Ezreal. How the f do you not just, die.

Edit:
I mean, even me trolling with true AD Kassadin and racking up crazy kill sprees I had trouble surviving until I stacked Life Steal... and I was basically ahead the whole game so that was npnp, primarily because the Trist failed at laning vs me.

This guy's running some hackney hybrid build that makes no real sense, no sustained survival or anything, just a GA.

Weird.

Looks like he just had enough MR to mitigate your damage, and since you probably didn't have any he owned you.

I recently tried double RoA, it doesn't seem to work very well for me. You can't kill anyone (if you end up getting mitigation items) and you end up getting killed just as fast as if you didn't have that HP, without the mitigation items.

I've been playing kass recently, mostly because I got inspired by your guide and vids on youtube, really great stuff.

Solo laning though I've been having some mixed results vs vlad. Last game I played I think he had defensive masteries(he had +6MR) and he just maintained high hp and spammed q on creeps if needed. Is there anyway to really beat a vlad after you're both lvl 7 or should I focus more on staying alive/keeping him busy while last hitting as much as possible.

On the other hand I played a vlad a couple of days ago who I had no problem zoning him. My Q just seemed to hit harder.

P.S.: I use flat ap quint since I haven't bought mpen ones yet.

Post-7 most heroes struggle to kick out Vlad; the life gain is too much. The idea against Vlad isn't so much to obliterate him but to abuse your earlier advantage with Q to farm up, so that by the time he starts gaining a foothold you're farmed up, have Catalyst, etc. Short of a strong EQR by Vlad you're a stronger hero than him anyways.

Edit:
Casters in generally have a difficult time preventing the opponent from farming; when they do, people cry OP.

For instance, Vlad's annoying as hell, but how often does he really stop an MF, Trist, etc. from farming if they want to? How often does Morgana actually stop farm? Galio? Anivia's notorious for giving opponents 6 levels of free-farm.

yeah, i also got wrecked a while back by a similar build, xcept i remember a manamune in there somewhere. It was kinda crazy and really jarring. He also seemed really difficult to kill as well, tho it could just be that im bad

A good kassadin doesn't need a good build to be hard to kill.
