When I'm mid, I do make E a higher priority for dargon fights. | ||

Rofl, your saying I couldn't autoattack you if you Q'd me? xD your also being very generous with forgetting about how clumsy heroes walk about through creeps, not to mention the fact that theres no need for an angle seeing that im the one that outpushes you, meaning you have less creeps then me, making it easier for me to hit those q's because you won't have enough creeps to hide behind. So you'd either have to give up cs or take a hit. | ||

I'm not theorycrafting, I'm going off of my experiences in the matchup from both sides. Kassadin simply wins attrition vs. Kennen. EDIT: here's the old discussion on the matchup: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=129727¤tpage=1356#27105 I don't think anything has really changed tbh. | ||

However, there are also a lot of bad kennens who eats free Q's trying to last hit, or provokes too many minion aggro while retaliating. Kennen usually does come out ahead if he uses lightning rush to tank Kassadin's Q, close the gap to below 575 and then autoattack + stun combo the crap out of Kass. Keep in mind that as the levels go up, Kass will scale better with the exchanges, but early on, his inability to deal back physical damage makes him really bad vs Kennen who can close gaps so easily. | ||

LMAO. Take W at level 1? Good fucking luck with that one chief, haha. EDIT: I mean, literally the entire reason Kassadin doesn't just run up on you and jack you up with auto-attacks is because it makes him eat shurikens. If you take W, I will literally just walk up to you and attack you if you try to apply a W mark to me. | ||

I mean it's not like Kassadin has a blink early on. He's not pantheon, so he can't just "walk up and attack" in the span of 1 kennen auto. | ||

First of all you don't attack neutral creeps as Kennen. Second: you can't check bushes. Third: the active CD is rediculous at lvl 1, shuriken's is not. Also, a Kassadin will never engage at lvl 1 unless he has exhaust & ignite, or you make some retarded mistake. | ||

I used to start with Sapphire Crystal and took Clarity. However, I decided to try out some more durable options. I now start with Doran's Shield, and take Ignite. "Winning" the lane is due to simple attrition. By the time I'm 6, if my lane is 1v1, my opponent is generally forced to go back home. This sets up a great gank window as I'm now free of my lane's responsibilities for a time. If you're at mid, prior to lvl 6, you're probably not going to land [E] vs a ranged character unless they're pretty bad. Thus, I feel that I can safely take just 1 rank in [W] and away from [E]. I would never get [W] at level 1 though. | ||

If you skip W in favor of E, you obviously do it to have E maxed asap for strong for R-E combos without sacrificing Q ranks. Doesn't really matter if you can use it before lvl 6 or not. | ||

This is legit, but not the best opening vs kassadin in particular. A good kassadin will take note of when ur shuriken is charged and they can q accordingly if they think you're going for an auto, leaving u with a wauto trade for a q at best (not the best considering passives and if he opens dshield and whatnot) and getting q kited at worst if the kassadin has no lasthits he wants to go for. The biggest problem is that if you really want to keep kassadin "zoned" at level 1 you have to save ur wautos for him and can't lasthit yourself lol unless kassadin stupidly lets you charge ur passive on lasthits only (in which case you could probably win against him regardless of skilling order). Also, at level 1, the chance of you getting a stun off (two wauto procs) is fairly low if the opponent knows what he's doing (when to pull back and how to trade etc). | ||

This is not viable in a game where lvl 1 fights are frequent @ higher ranked. People trie to steal red's/blue's all the time, or wraiths if your name is 5hit. You need the lvl 1 shuriken for bush checking, long range damage and if you get lucky, a stun. Sure you can pull it off before you start playing with the good people, but why get used to something you can't always use? Its like playing nasus till 1600 only to realise that people know hes crap and ignore him at that point. Point is, W might work, BUT YOU NEED SHURIKEN. | ||
