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

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

vs. a melee hero who's last hitting amongst his own minions and doesn't need to try to set up angles to harass you, how exactly do you play on landing Shurikens? And how do you expect to use your lightning rush offensively without taking it directly up the ass? I'm more than happy to get into a close range auto-attack fight amongst my minions with a Kennen who just charged my passive.

not to mention that I'm being EXTREMELY generous in assuming you could even trade auto-W + active-W for my Q considering I outrange your auto by 125 with my Q.

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.

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

*shrugs* I think Kass wins it. I haven't lost the matchup yet but maybe the Kennens I play against suck.


uhg, I wish you were on NA so that I could just show you what I'm talking about. 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&currentpage=1356#27105 I don't think anything has really changed tbh.

If Kennen takes W at level 1 and charges the passive on jungle creeps before coming to lane, Kass will have a hard time last hitting levels 1-3.

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.

The reason you take W on Kassadin at level 2 is really so that you can start with Doran's Sheild instead of Doran's Ring.

You can kite the wolves around before going mid, and charge the passive before going to lane, easily, without losing exp or taking any damage.
