I open QWQWQ on solos, lol. W is a really underrated ability. It lets you cheat on runes with like MPen/Armor/MRes/HP, and you just sit there and auto-attack like a noob to keep mana high and they can't do jack shit about it and when they do you get the equivalent of ArPen Marks to aid in the auto-attack fight. Having W is also awesome for when you have a tear of the goddess to pump it up.

EDIT: Speaking of which, I've been considering going ArPen on my Marks with Kass, as I think that 15 ArPen might end up being a bigger deal in laning than the 9 MPen later when I'm getting a Void Staff anyway.

I haven't actually tried QWQWQ, so I can't actually comment on how good it is, lol. I do know I prefer having at least 1 rank of W, simply because low-ranked E just doesn't do a whole lot for you in laning, while W is quite useful.

Do you get Sorc Boots on Kass? Because IMO that 9 MPen makes the biggest difference when its taking them from 10 MR to 1 (e.g. that window between when you have Sorc Boots, but they don't have any MR sources yet).

Because I play with/against baddies, that window tends to be reasonably large, so I find I like having that 9 MPen, but its probably much smaller against people who know wtf they're doing.

yea, I usually go merc treads to make myself as difficult to kill as possible. I agree that 29 mpen vs. 30 MRes is beast as hell, but I just don't get situations like that. Most people I lane against have early treads or negatron or base MRes growth. My build is VERY much about the late game, it's really slow but it's also excellent at just sitting in lane farming to the point it needs to get. I guess I'm heavily influenced by growing up around Utah's initiating snarebot Kass -_-.

You don't bother getting W as kassadin until like level 13 and even then you never use it. Play him like your typical AP champ.

Always get it somewhat early. Spam to keep your E up. Spam to fill your tear.
I used to spam it even more back when I built Locket on Kassadin :p
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

If you can´t even lane with Kassadin without W you should stop playing him, skilling W slows his snowballing.

Wow so much hate for W.

I doubt 1 rank in E is huge enough to "slow down his snowballing", though it may depend on playstyle.
W (and in consequence doran's shield) helps a lot in dueling but E is more teamfight oriented skill

I just don't snowball with Kass. I build for late game and it's simply about lasting until my build kicks in.

Shield->catalyst->sorc boots->rabadons->chug elixers->end all games before 30 minutes.
Sick life.

W; one point wonder imo. One point at lvl 2 and never run out of mana.
I have an ice-cold beer, everything is possible.

I've been running shield -> boots -> Cata -> Tear -> rabadons + Merc -> RoA -> Archangels, with elixir pump after finishing rabadons. I've also shifted to QWQEQR -> R > Q = E (depends on the lane) > W (rather than getting 2 early points in W). Kass is just so fucking mana hungry that I have an impossible time giving up the tear.

I run mp5/lvl yellows and blues, and dont really have any problems with mana.
On a related note: i dont have the ip for magic pen reds, so im running my arpen ones. ez farm and hitting a champ for 60dmg while getting mana back? yes please.

Oh and merc threads<sorc boots imoimo, but that's because i run ghost/cleanse.

I don't know how you can say this, and at the same time make this comment in the Kennen thread:

congrats, you've never played against a kennen that knows he should skill W over Q at lvl 3/4 for cooldown and damage purposes.

Implying that Kass should get owned in lane by Kennen.

It's not about W being a crutch during laning--it's about 1 or 2 points in W having the ability to noticeably affect certain lane matchups off of your ability to really push damage through your autoattacks.

I run ghost + cleanse too, I just am really really aggressive with baiting fights as Kassadin, so I build incredibly safe. Cleanse is for the initial CC as you bait and Merc Treads are for the subsequent CC that happens as the fight drags out.

Those comments prove a point not contradict eachother.

In 1 comment I'm talking about kassadin not being able to beat kennen when he skills W because if you farm you take 2 MOTS and can easily combine into a 3rd which then results in taking the 1st mots that starts the chain again.

And in the other comment I am talking about how skilling W slows down kassadin.
(notice how even if you look at them that I'm actually saying that if you skill W as kassadin and rely more on melee you will get hit more by Kennen)

Hmmm.

So Kennen's just going to forsake last hitting to save his W passive proc so that he can trade W passive proc + W active with Kassadin's Q? Kass wins these trades on the back of SoS's regen in my experience (not to mention his Q does more than that Kennen shit at level 3+ AND he has his imba passive to soften the blow).

Apparently Kennens have infinite energy too, this is reminding me of Shikyo's verbal spars with Uta.

your team must hate you at dragon fights, where kassadin can absolutely break the game with maxed E at level 9. so broken.

it also makes farming easymode when you can E an entire wave instead of sitting around and auto attacking all of them, waste of time

referring to people that dont level E

How exactly do you max E by level 9 without feeding/getting no farm in lane?

Kennen's have infinite energy till they hit lvl ~6 unless your a retard who spams lightning rush.

also, I use energy quints & yellows so its quite easy to spam for me.
