So, did some ranks today and I've got to say that Kassadin is still fun as shit. Was duo queing with a RL friend who is silver so I'm always first pick and he's always last pick. I was like, I'm going to kass if they don't ban it, sure enough they didn't. FP Kass. They end up picking Zed, which I thought might be a little rough but nahhh. I was able to farm well enough early to grab a tear then I could Q spam to last hit / harass him if needed. Ended up killing him at level 6. He ulted me and I'm just like R away (or Q to silence so he can't follow up with anything), he took more dmg then I did. I also ran tp/flash and our support was good and did deep wards bottom so I could TP bot, ended up getting 2 or 3 kills that way.
I just overall forgot how fun he is. But, you want to know what's really fucking stupid. So I'm like 10/2/10 or something and their support annie is of course like 0/2/10 with a targons and she alone could almost 100-0 me. She had Void + Guise + Sorc Shoes. I can't wait for that damn item to get nerfed into the ground.
(inc drunk rant)
Oh, you want to also know what I lost to today? Triple bot lane. Was a smite Leona who did both buffs then sat bot lane with their Nami/Vayne. You know the funny part though, both Leona & Nami bought Targons, then they would take turns last hitting next to the vayne so the vayne was basically getting double targons gold. It actually wouldn't have gone too bad but somehow our Darius lost to a full tank taric top and our malz got outpushed by an AP blitz (yes how does that work?) I can't even tell you how far ahead that Vayne was in gold. Fuck that item. I'm so glad it's getting nerfed to shit and I hope it gets nerfed into trash tier so nobody buys it again.
Basically when that Leona was staying bot the whole time and since Darius was already 0/3 to taric, I ignored that lane. Blitz would do nothing but sit under his tower farming and pulling malz in so I couldn't tower dive him. So instead, I stole 3 out of 4 blue buffs. 2 out of 4 red buffs, got 3 dragons, donated my blue everytime, gave darius 2 of my reds. We were also even on towers, yet that vayne because of double targons was soooo far ahead on gold.
Makes no sense how Riot didn't see how broken as shit that item was. Good Riddance.
