External link →I think the casters got Kassadin so wrong. Kassadin isn't Kayle that becomes this powerhouse at level 16. Kassadin power comes from 3 core items (nukeduck should've bought Zhonyas instead of Lich Bane). If you finish those items lets say at level 14, you can carry fights as easily as level 16 kassadin.
E: Good Kassadin players don't use ulti for damage, they use it mostly for flanking like Nukeduck tried to do. That's why Zhonyas is important, once you go in, you need those extra 3 seconds to get out. Kassadin's job is to set up fights or finish off backline. Props to Rogue for countering Renekton and Kassadin with Tahm pick, good choice.
I agree with you that three items is massive for Kassadin, but 16 is also crucial. Not just for the damage, but the cooldown. It goes from 3.5s to 2s (further reduced by cdr) which makes him insanely slippery in fights and allows him to play much more aggressive. This means his damage can skyrocket because before 16 while his burst is insane (thanks 3 items) its harder to jump into multiple enemies.
