Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with low health issues on kass, or is just not meant to have sustain? I find myself investing in a lot of pots and having to back frequently to keep up health/mana. my normal build is boots, doran, tear, catalyst > rod of ages, deathcap/lichbane, frozen heart if I need it. I like having a large mana pool for R spam, as the damage scales tremendously if you can build it up. | ||

Having the HP and the regen @ lvl up is worth much more and is more useful the faster you get it. | ||

I like having a large mana pool for R spam, as the damage scales tremendously if you can build it up. I go boots3pot then rush cata. a dorans if i back with at least 475 gold, but not enough to buy blasting wand. Generally, I don't like to get tear 'cause i feel like it delays my damage way too much, but some people do get it. Same deal with Philo. My build is usually boots>cata>roa>dcap. Then Zhonyas and Abyssal; which one I get first depends on what I feel like I need more, the armor and stasis or the mr and mr reduction. I round out my build with void staff. Don't get lichbane; you shouldn't be auto-attacking your enemies as AP kass much if at all. If you want armor, go with Zhonyas not frozen heart. For boots I favor cdr boots cause you need your skills off cd as much as possible, especially after all the nerfs. If I'm dominating I do grab sorcs from time to time but I almost always sell them later in the game for cdr boots or mercs. Sustaining in lane is pretty much covered via pots, cata passive and intelligent play. Don't trade unless you know you will come out on top, which is pretty easy against most AP mids once you hit 6. Also, Kassadin stuff goes here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=245461 Pretty old, but the discussion on the last few pages are still very relevant. The OP isn't really that out of date either. | ||

1-2 doran's blades revolver deathfire grasp gunblade and then a defensive item, GA or Banshees. It plays really, really well. I always felt like there was something kind of off about the standard builds and this gives pretty much everything I want. | ||

Top lane: Lee Sin is a pretty obvious counter, Garen is pretty good as well. Akali does well against mundo, singed, basically melee champs that aren't early game orientated. Also does well against ad carries top especially when you hit 6. I don't know how Akali works mid-lane these days, but I hear it's not very good | ||

Also he suggests some REALLY slick runepages which help you to truck people like Garen/Renek or at least not get trucked by them. =P I dunno.. i feel l ike gunblade isnt that good any more. I mean the lifesteal&ad part of the item doesnt do a ton when you get slow from rylai and mostly utilize spells rather than AD damage. | ||

Gunblade has an active that nukes and slows, gives you retarded amounts of sustain, and gives you a lot of damage even after its nerf. There is a distinctive reason why Westrice went back to building gunblade as a core item on Akali after experimenting with rylai builds after the gunblade nerf | ||

I think lee countering akali is way overstated. | ||

Usually her whole thing is that she can't do much against ranged harass but as soon as she gets into melee range she just blows her opponent up. Unfortunately if they can hit you from range and then actually hit really really hard when you close to melee she's kinda screwed. There's also a few guys that just outburst you in exchanges like garen or renek. I think lee countering akali is way overstated. Against renek/garen/pantheon you just farm, don't brawl. They all fall off. Chainvest/dodge boots/lantern/40 armor page (that's right, forget your passive) are all very good. That's not to say these champs aren't strong vs akali, just that you can prevent yourself from dying really hard. Not sure about rumble, maybe null-mantle->mercs first would work, but then again, akali is not irelia. Lee is just OP in general (don't give me the high skillcap bullshit). | ||
