The RIOT Act

[Kaden]

I don't think it's power level or broken-ness that causes the Kassadin bans. He's just harder to play around. If Akali is coming at you, you know what's about to happen. You can even do something like drop a pink ward. Kass is just there and then he's just not.

It's like playing around Karthus ult or Shen ult. It's not always going to happen. The best players in the world get caught by that stuff and Kass is in a very similar place. Shaco got tons and tons of bans for the same reason. Not because he's particularly over-powered, but because it's easy to just ban him than hope your teammates know how to play around him correctly.

It doesn't take much more than Kass hitting 6 to go bottom and get that lane a double kill.

I wasn't trying to rally random people to help my argument.

I know you weren't, there just wasn't any point in bringing that up. That's what I was saying, unless you genuinely think I don't know there are people who feel the same way you do about Kass. I don't think you do, though. I could say "well way more people agree with my side," but that's meaningless.

The point is to consider the strengths and flaws of a champion's design, not try to determine who is "right" about him based on... what? The opinions of random people? Random people are generally idiots.
