Kassadin Counters :: Counter Picking Stats for Kassadin by CounterStats

Polarshift says “You can poke him hard early laning-phase since he is immobile. If he runs electrocute be careful of his all in damage with ignite. Your wave-clearing is way superior so use that to your advantage to dodge him after level 6 and try to pressure the jungle and other lanes with your team. Later in the game you can try to keep him in place whenever he tries to go for your team, that'll allow your team to potentially cc or kill him. After level 6 you won't be able to do anything to him anymore.”

Yasukeh says “ The second easiest matchup for Tryndamere. Pre 6 if he ever tries to go for CS you get a slow and either burn flash or kill him. The only way you lose this matchup is if he takes grasp and you let him trade with you freely to the point where you can't all in him. Expect a lot of jungler assistance for Kassadin in this matchup. ”

Drewmatth Taliyah says “MELEE = PUSH EARLY (LEVELS 1-2) - CARE FOR GANKS! (SPAM Q'S TILL 50-60% MANA) - Corrupting + maybe a Doran if you struggle. If possible spam Q from a longer range and try to send him to base before 6. Post 6 there is no reason to fight him unless you have a hard CC such as Skarner because he will always escape with blinks or even kill you. Kassadin is a good counter to Taliyah because if he does not have cooldown on teleport he can easily follow you bot so try to roam only when you know his teleport is not up. Kassadin usefulness starts only at about level 11 and two items, so try to abuse early as much as you can and perhaps tell your team that too. Beware of the teleport. Most Kassadin players will go for TP and will try to bait you into using all your skills and missing them so that you need to recall. Whenever you can try to go for all-ins because if you don't get a kill the enemy Kassadin will just gain advantage from the TP, so engage smart.”

Yeager says “Winning this matchup will require coordination with your jungler, and great vision control because you have to push the wave into his turret to punish him, so the enemy jungler most likely look for ganks. A good kassadin won't push the wave against you, so you can't really freeze. His Q gives him a temporary magic shield, so when trading, wait until the shield expires, and then use your abilities. His Q is a single-target spell so the minions will aggro him when he's using it. If you have a stacked wave by slow pushing, he will take a lot of damage from the minions. Spam auto attacks and zone him from waves with your ball. He's a melee champion so you can punish him pretty hard if he walks up to cs. People usually greed for cannon minions. If you have teleport, you can apply constant pressure and match his teleport. He obviously outscales you, so you want to try and close out the game before he hits the lvl 16 elospike. That means not giving him any advantages (dying to enemy jungle gank for example) What happens after lvl 16 entirely depends on the teamcomps. Orianna is also strong lategame so you have to play around your teams wincondition (splitpushing, teamfighting, sieging etc). Even if kassadin is at god-level after 16, he can still be shut down with the right teamcomps, so don't give up even if you reach lategame. ”

Fuzzmonkey says “Even though Kassadin is a amazing an denying certain AP champs, syndra can work past that. Never let him walk him to Q you, and as Syndra you should always be poking him when his Q is down so he can't shield your damage, don't forget to keep auto'ing him pre-6 too.”

Reppy says “ He out trades you every stage of the game, out scales you, and can dodge all your daggers with his R. He also has a silence that cancels your ult and builds Seraph’s so he can negate all your damage with a shield. (Rush Bilgewater Cutlass since he is prone to AD damage) ”

Shazzaam says “Try to snowball other lanes and poke him as much as possible. Rush Trinity Force for extra poke. The main reason why he is extreme threat is his late game. No matter what you do he'll come to level 16 and take over the game.”

Yamikaze says “You will be looking to poke as much as possible with Q lvl 1. Punish him for every cs he tries to get. If he throws Q at you, make sure to zone him from CS. The matchup will not be as easy if he decides to max E which gets charged super fast from your constant spamming of abilities, and it also can't be blocked by your windwall. Kassadin players usually take TP, which gives you an advantage in 1v1 as we have ignite. ”

lkycch says “Pre-6 it's not a problem, but after that you'll never stun him again... His entire kit is perfect for destroying mages. Sadly, Zilean doesn't have enough aggression to bully him in the early game, which means Kassadin will gain free access to mid-lategame. I suggest dodging in champ select as it's just too risky to play against him. Your jungler has to be on point and camp him enough to shut him down, but that rarely happens in solo Q.”

Fuzzmonkey says “Quite a hard matchup since he can deny your (Q + W) burst in laning phase. Land chains at level 6 and you can kill him from there onwards. Try and get your jungler to gank as many times as possible early game, since Kassadin will start to get pretty annoying to deal with once he gets his catalyst. Just make sure you can snowball off of him before he gets out of control.”

7daysko says “Yet another annoying match-up. He isn't much to look at pre-6, but once he gets his Riftwalk he is a NIGHTMARE. Combine that with his Q that cancels your ulti and his passive which reduces all incoming magic damage by 15% and you can forget about out-trading him. Depending on his skill though, this game could be easy early on, given that he's melee. SEASON 11 EXTRA: He's been impacted pretty bad by the item changes as far as I've seen, obliterate him in the early game and he'll have a very hard time catching up.”

Ambitieux says “THIS LANE. Is almost as hard as Fizz but not really. You're big advantage is your 1-5. You need to play this lane VERY aggressive and be on hyper alert from junglers. Get him under tower as fast as possible and poke him out of lane. The more autos the better, trade out autoing him over tower considering the tower wont take much damage pre minute 5. Use charms and Q when he walks up for cs. Try to encourage your jungler to play aggressive and get good wards in enemy jungle. Roam only when needed and punish kass as much as possible. If played correctly once you both hit 6, he still shouldn't be as much of a problem but if out of control you NEED help. I suggest banning him”

Dr Eggmund says “Silence really bugs me and his ult can prevent your all in's only trade when he is in an awful position. Early game try to make him use his mana against you and heal back up. This will prevent him from teleporting away with his ult in all in's and gives you the upper hand from you when you want to fight. Poke and farm throughout the early game and get your items so you can punish him with more poke or by killing him.”

Sanctuar says “Kassadin players will get surprised by your tankiness if you start your game with Resolve as second runes combined with a Doran's Shield. Abuse the fact that he is a melee champion and make sure you autoattack him as much as possible. Post 6 you can all-in on him if he tries to jump in for a trade. Get a Mercury's instead of Sorcerer's if you feel like you're falling behind. Late game Kassadin is a very dangerous threat and turn your entire attention to him once he dares to jump in with his Riftwalk because once he is CC'd, he dies quickly.”

Sylvan Lore says “Kassadin is a surprisingly easy match-up for Orianna but the more I play it, the more convinced I become that this matchup comes down to jungle difference. If you receive equal or extra pressure from your jungler, you can bully this champion into oblivion from level 1 onwards and smash the entire game before he ever gets a chance. On the flip side, if he gets some gank assist and gets even a minimal lead, he will snowball the entire game and become a huge problem no matter what you do. It is absolutely essential that you track the location of the enemy jungler while simultaneously pressuring every cs he tries to get without a max range Q. ”

Katfire says “Kassadin is one of the hardest match ups for Katarina in the game. He will outrade you at any stage of the game, and even if you win a trade slightly Kassadin usually goes fleetfootwork and corrupting potion for great sustain. Getting AD early and going Conq is highly recommended against Kassadin because he takes reduced damage from AP due to his passive, so most of your damage will be basic attacks with Conq. Bork is highly recommended. His Q can interrupt your R so be careful when using it. You want to trade when his Q is down and basic attack a lot. Sadly Kassadin feels very hard to stop. Give him any kill and its over. Or let him free farm to 11-16 and its over. You need to snowball hard and end the game before Kassadin reaches late game godmode.”

Elhypersnyper says “Kassadin's R is basically a hard counter to Kog'Maw. 1: It closes the gap between you and him and as you're already squishy he's going to do lots of damage to you late game and maybe even 2 or 1 shot you. 2: His R is a perma counter to your passive if you trade vs Kassadin and he kills you but he's low you can win only and ONLY if he isn't 6, when he's 6 he's going to R away and live no matter what. 3: His R is a perma counter to your R and basically renders you worthless as you're mostly just poke and set up for your team. Now this being said you have a range advantage if you can kill him pre-6 you have a chance but remember once he gets 6 its going to be very hard to kill him so try and minimalize big engages unless your jungle is near.

eiensiei says “Kassadin is a level 5 threat not because of his laning phase, but because he's absolutely unkillable at level 16 and since I don't trust my teammates to end before that point, I almost always ban him. On the off-chance that he does go unbanned though, I'll E-AA him pre-6 and use my W (I get it at level 2) when he tries to trade back. I'll also do my best to weave in as many autoattacks as I can when he goes for minion last hit. After 6 I just farm safely and stay close to my tower. I don't waste my Q randomly, I wait for him to use his R first. I usually have a hard time killing him in lane without a jungler, despite winning heavily in trades, because of his passive and because whenever he gets too low on health, he just goes B and teleports back. I need a jungler in this match-up if I have any hope of being even remotely as useful as Kassadin is, which is another reason why I ban it. Can also go for a Cull start.”

Standard AP Katarina S11 by Scarlettpls | Katarina Player

SF Shadow says “Kassadin‘s magic shield and passive are perfect to counter zoe. When facing a Kassadin, always keep in mind that he might become really tanky after completing his rod of ages. Furthermore, Kassadin‘s R is a low cooldown dash, which is good for dodging Zoe‘s bubble. Whenever you miss your E, you will get a lot of damage. Try to use that. When you have your E ready, Kassadin might wait for you to miss it and engage. Don’t use your E before he didn’t Dash. Your E + Q is very strong in Midgame and able to get a lot of pressure. When Kassadin is in lane with you, just try to not get killed and farm. Kassadin is a good Duelist, but he can’t 1v5 your team in the most situations, but you can onehit their ADC. That way, your team is able to win the Teamfight.”

Myhg says “Personal go to ban. He's extremely hard to play against because his Null sphere cancels your ultimate. His low cd ultimate also means you can't hit him with q most of the time. If I'm ever against a Kassadin, I start doran's blade and can out trade him with autos. If he ults on you, he probably also used all his other abilities in the process and you can engage on him for a short while because he has no way of fighting back.”

After lvl 6 with his ult he can chase you forever (or at least, until he has mana). his abilities can damage lot, so you should focus dodging his abilities like E, or not letting him close, to hit W on you because these abilities have insane ap ratio, so he can easily oneshot you in late game. The only advantage you will have is early and mid game... try to make plays in the early game, but focus on farming too, because you will need to be in advantage both kills and farm to beat him in late game.”

Setup Q dagger on him directly or on minions, he is a melee champion so take advantage of this. Don't Q him when his Q is up, he'll simply get magic shield from you with a Q and you'd get out-poked. After hitting 6, if he ults in and uses Q, be aggressive and all in with your own ult.”

FalleN3 says “Pre level 6 you can try to zone him and harass him with AA due to him being a melee champion. His (Q) can be quiet annoying as it not only causes damage but gives him a shield against magic damage too. Try to zone him as much as possible early and bully him from his farm. You should try to make use of his pre 6 lack of mobility & call for some jungle help to abuse it. Once he reaches level 6 the real fun begins. Kassadin will likely roam now too so be sure to give your team a heads up if he goes missing or follow him if possible.

In case that he has anything else, then use your E for slow and go all-in with W pre-6. If you go for short trades, just keep in mind, that first you need to wait for his shield from Q to fall, otherwise you will be losing trades and he will block a lot of your damage. Post-6 he will try to abuse you, though with your ult up if he jumps on you, just don't get scared. At first you need to E him and start spamming autoattacks and Rs until he has another ult back. With that, you should be able to deliver enough damage to scare him off these actions or sometimes he might even end up getting killed. What is problem though, that he might roam a lot and get advantage somewhere else, which might end up being problem when dealing with him from mid to lategame!”

If you have an early jungler such as elise, you can easily set up a dive in the early levels, if you have the info on their jungler.

Veralion says “HoB/Sword. I used to despise Kassadin with my scaling builds. He seemed unbeatable between his sustain, poke damage, and powerful W that kept me away from farm. Recently I've had some pretty successful lanes running HoB into him instead. The best way to handle Kassadin is to get the lane frozen and bully him away from farm with Hail. Your combo is terrifying for a champion with so little armor and will completely prevent him from walking up to melee farm, forcing him to Q creeps over you in order to avoid being hard starved. His E makes sticking to him and threatening solo kills unlikely, but as long as you keep him off of your creeps you are doing your job. Begin positioning aggressively and zoning him at level 2. You may be able to surprise him at level 3 and kill him if he isn't careful. The most important thing is to get that freeze going and keep it going to put him 50 CS behind. Mind that burnout doesn't end up breaking your freeze and never E more than 1 creep at a time, even if it may get you some damage onto him. Tank incoming waves in front of your turret and keep them parked right out of its range. Then position behind the caster minions so that you can hit Kassadin and only Kassadin with your E and W if he even thinks about going up for farm. Once I get more skilled at this, Kassadin may not be such a bad lane after all. I will probably drop the difficulty further in the future, but I'm leaving him at 4 for now simply because he's such a high scaling threat later on. ”

xSealed says “Although, a close combat favors for Lissandra, it also favors for an assassin like Kassadin. When it comes to the trades of damage, Lissandra has an advantage in early because of her attack and ability range advantage but that's only when Kassadin still doesn't have his Rift Walk. Also, Kassadin's passive ability makes him take a bit less magic damage. So it might became a bit of disadvantage for Lissandra. Magic Penetration can't affect that magic damage reduction of Kassadin.”

PepeOnDrugs says “Laning against Kassadin should be reasonably OK due to him being a melee champion. Try to farm as much as you can during laning phase and you can trade with him whenever he walks up to farm a creep. His (Q) is annoying as it offers him a shield. After 6, he doesn't have as much burst as Akali and if you are even or ahead of him you should be able to kill him with x3 ultimate stacks. If you fall behind though, this will be difficult. He will want to roam so be sure to either follow him or else be the one leading the roam. ”

So in the case where but parties are out of mana, your speed both in attack and movement has an absolute advantage and will be usually what happens in early game. Save your ult for after he uses his ult to catch up to him and try to time your Q. He has a cast timer which makes it much easier to latch on to him and not being able to run away will ruin his game.”

Try to end the game before he gets level 16 to avoid total annihilation. The only thing you can do to outplay him later in is to predict is ult and pool it accordingly, even then if not ahead you can easily die to his burst. The only advantage you have against him is in teamfights, but watch out that you don't let him split too long uncontested. The best bet you have on shutting him down is to push him in early and kill him under his tower by repeatedly poking him until he is in kill range with ignite, freezing does not really work as he can farm well with Q and is really safe from jungle ganks thanks to his ult.”

spark2 says “You should dumpster him early game--harass early and often and send him back if possible before 6. A lot of junglers try to gank for him to help out his god awful early game but he does basically nothing to help them out, so just don't play stupid. Past 6 he's a whole other animal. Don't even try to stun him with W unless he JUST blinked with his ult, since he can easily escape with it otherwise. Your job is to make his early game hell so he doesn't make your late game worse.”

Punish him for doing that. Overall you won't use that many abilities yourself, so that's a bad point for him, because he has to stack up his E stacks mostly by himself.”

Euphoric Toaster says “Kassadin, simply put, is a ticking time bomb. His passive and Q shield keeps him pretty safe from a lot of your poke/harass and all-in burst in the laning phase. A good Kassadin player will get out of laning phase only slightly behind, and from there the champion grows into a monstrosity to the point where he can 1v9 at level 16. Hes not the worst to deal with because he CAN be heavily set back early still with a good stun or jungle assistance, and CAN be shut down later with CC, but he still sometimes can be a nightmare to deal with. Thankfully, there aren't that many Kassadin players on the ladder.”

Fox1ne says “Kassadin is the strongest anti-mage champion in game atm. He wants to survive the laning phase but,if you harass him when he tries to gain wave control you can easily break this lane and reach him to his limit where you can easily win this,make sure the game doesn't reach 20+ cause he will start scaling and actually one shot you, every kassadin main does that,tries to gain wave control and freeze his wave under tower farming safe.

Be incredibly aggressive, don't let him cs unpunished. Post 6, push his lane to his tower and roam. If he follows you should be able to kill him because you should be way ahead in cs, and thus gold. If he ever roams, punish him by pushing his mid tower hard.”

MechaaZero says “I'd say this match-up is a pretty lost cause after 6. His ult makes it very hard to land your E which is your means for escape and damage. He also does a lot of damage himself, so this is a bannable champ if you come across him a lot.”

CC Diana says “Kassadin is an interesting matchup. You have similarly bad laning phases and deal incredible burst damage at level 6. Kassadin's burst in very telegraphed since he needs to stack his ult in order to deal noteworthy damage so if you see him ulting around, be wary of an engage. He is also very mana hungry so he will likely purchase an early catalyst or tear of the goddess and lack damage resulting in a weak early game. Use this time to hit him where it hurts.”

He has a magic shield on short cooldown, he can teleport almost infinitely at level 6, and he can engage on you or disengage from you whenever he wants.

The Jhin Cena says “Kassadin most of the time shouldn't be much of an issue. Only time Kassadin might be difficult is if you're matched against a good Kassadin, who can dodge your Ult with his, and knows when to burst on you. That being said, be a bit careful early game when blowing CDs on him. I've nearly died because of it due to the Kassadin nuking me as I return behind the minions, with no E to escape with. Before level 6 you might get a bit annoyed by his poke, but once you get your Ult you can launch it at him and your combo should kill or nearly kill him. Even a good Kassadin might not be able to dodge your Ult with his, since Kassadin's teleport isn't as quick as a standard flash, so you shouldn't worry too much about Ulting on a Kassadin.”

AzureArmatt says “Kassadin's passive reduce magic damage that he takes + he has mobility that can be superior to yours once he gets items. He's scaling is way better then yours but his weak point is laning phase and early mid game where his damage isn't that high and he's not mobile enough to perform 10 blinks in one teamfight. You need to try and poke him while not getting to close to him. his Q grands him shield that will absorb magic damage but it deals really small damage early so if you manage to land both of your Q damage you will be victorious in this trade. Once he and you hit level 6 you should try to bait him into using his Rift walk (ultimate) so he won't be able to blink away from your damage. Don't get caught by enemy jungler and you should be fine. Consider buying zhonya against him or banshee's veil (personal preference) don't skip defensive item this time”

You will generally have kill pressure as long as he walks up, but if he plays too passive, you will just be shoving the minion wave and roaming.”

moutenn says “He counteres mages, but you my friend are no mage. You do more damage then him faster, and in this case i think opening with R is just as good as W. R him, then when he R's just W. If he then FLashes just also flash.”

Rugie says “Big problem for you. He has probably the best late game from champions in whole game. But he received armor nerf in this patch, so try to f*ck him up in early game as much, as you can, because he is getting stronger every minute in the game. But be careful! Don't die unnecessarily! Every time he kills you, it will much more difficult for you. He can also cancel your ult by using his silence from his Q, so be careful about that, he can also escape by his R on level 6. Ask for multiple gang on him.”

Zetrok Bot says “Kass, F*cking Kass, counters Karthus since its launch, before level 6 you can try to lower your life with Q, but after level 6 you do not dare to advance more of the river if you do not know where it is, I will burst me down every time I see you, cancel your R with your Q or killing you, have an anti magic shield, your E is loaded with your Q and ganks every time you are holding the line.”

Draczor says “Kassadin is probably one of your worst fears because you probably won't be able to win against him in all stages of the game. In this matchup pre 6 you want to avoid getting poked by his Q as much as you can while trying to farm. You won't be able to win or "hardly" win trades against him because of the magic shield from his Q since he will outsustain you if he bought corrupting potion first. If not and you manage to win trades then you can pressure him from farming. The moment he turns lvl 6 you should avoid getting in his ult range and try to safely farm.”

Exiled Heretic says “Kassadin is basically the on paper counter because of the magic damage reduction passive. But if you can get him before he builds health items he wont be much of an issue until late game. late game with the element of surprise you can win a fight.”

Sozzoh says “Laugh in his face pre-6. Cower in fear post-6. Kassadin can be a major problem if they play him correctly, so try and abuse Kassadin pre-6 so he doesn't snowball or gain a lead. Don't burn too many abilities near him either, as this is what powers his E. Kassadin has built in MR, so I'd recommend getting Void Staff before Liandry's, and making laning phase a farm lane. Kassadin is very mana hungry pre-6, but his W restores mana. Try to poke Kassadin and force him to sit under tower if possible when he tries to W a minion or even you so he can't restore his missing mana. ”

Autoswitched says “simple matchup, you out shove, and out damage him, his q will just about pop your shield, you can also wind wall his q.”

Witwickies says “Don't be overconfident if you will be outplaying him at early stages. There will come time, probably around level 9, where he will start winning. He can use R's dashes to dodge all yours abilities and then blow you away.”

undeadsoldiers says “You can bully him easily before level 6. Force him to Q minions to last-hit them. If he blinks to you to combo you after level 6, throw your E at him while his R's on cooldown, throw a Q, and run. Just generally don't let him come near you. His R has a 6/4/2 second cooldown, so up until level 16/he caps CDR, that gives you a short window when he won't be able to dodge your E. Remember that he takes 15% reduced magic damage. A combo that might oneshot any other mid laner may not be as effective on Kassadin. Kassadin really likes to tower dive. If he attempts this, put him to sleep and run.”

macspam says “Kassadin does counter Veigar in the late game but he is slow to ramp up. In lane phase he'll mainly just poke you with Q and try to farm himself. By the time he's a major threat you should already have your GLP and be ready to roam, so you don't have to worry that much about him jumping on you in lane. Banshee's Veil is a good buy for second item. ”

Prenora says “While kassadin has reliable autopoke, like you he has poor waveclear, look to outsustain him, in the early game, and avoid over trading, as your spell casts empower him. you are very similar in playstyle so the matchup could go either way. if you want to be aggressive wait for jungle presence ”

asffg123 says “His 6 allows him to counter your E and go aggressive, outtrading you. However, he is extremely weak pre 6 due to being melee and only having one source of ranged damage. Use this to your advantage and punish him accordingly. You should have an equal laning phase. Warning - This champion can and will roam to counter a safe playstyle. Ping accordingly.”
