Oh, but to add to my last post, that doesn't make Kassadin bad at all. I was just saying a way to win a lane against him while still being AP (of sorts).
He'll still roam around once he gets his ult and pick up kills and snowball if your team isn't on the ball. THAT'S, imo, what makes him so damn strong.
