either help from jungler or suffer, scales very good has 5secs immortality can dive you ez after 6, dodge this one (very rare) or when in promos just pray hes very bad
fleet+dom/res
Kled
tryndas case, classic bruiser very hard to play against and can dive you even early (lv3), and even has roams with ulti, your best bet is to outscale him and its actually doable
fleet+dom/res
Zed
awful matchup for kassadin, can execute combo very fast, can pop boneplating from distance, tons of dmg after 6, straight countered by armguard and alternative stopwatch rush as well as outscaled
fleet+res
Ahri
can be annoying as she shoves the wave really well, has cc true dmg and 3 dashes inbuilt, but man she is so useless nowadays its insane, you just straightup outscale electrocute ahri as well as the glacial one (with the second one having utility though so be careful).
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Aatrox
doesnt show up midlane too often but can basically run you down after 6, very annoying to face because his qs are kind of long range too. if not fed you should outscale, but dd is a very stupid and unbalanced item right now
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Akali
you obviously outscale, but you cant fight her early at all and she is stronger till lvl11, also gets ad+conq early so thats abit of a problem
fleet+dom
Anivia
doesnt show up too often but scales very good but so do you, just allin her and win game through that
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Annie
nothing else besides short trades, her dmg in extended fights is tibbers only, you outscale her but she sets ganks up very good due to her passive so always keep that in mind
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Aurelion Sol
very rare matchup, if otp he just keeps roaming, if random pick you can straight run him down, you outscale, socalled ap talon but kassa is nuts here at least
electro
Azir
hob azir can be an early problem, he should keep shoving you so ping your jungler to come, he scales good but your champion is just better against him
fleet+dom
Brand
nobody plays brand mid anymore lol, dodge w or at least q, ez kills just run him down very bad pick
electro
Camille
never played against her but on paper she seems kinda problematic, you cant get out of her r has good allin potential, scales very good, can roam you can flip it idk i bet fast trades are your friend
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Cassiopeia
scales good, can run you down if you fuck up, has better early but cant kill you w/o tear+6/jg, go for quick trades play around q/w cooldown and you can allin her then
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Corki
mostly magic dmg, you outscale, dont get deceived because he acts like a normal adc and scales very good too, play it smart and gg
fleet+dom
Diana
she goes for phase/electro=ez win you outscale after 6, she goes for conq you outscale after 11 and lose fights before, play it smart and around short trades
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Ekko
you outscale him easily, can almost always trade against him but has strong ulti more shove potential and more roam potential+2v2 in his favor so be careful
electro
Fizz
can cheese you early (lv3-4) and can kill you after 6 if he manages to land fish but you outscale easily if he doesnt manage to snowball obv, freeze him to death and bye bye
fleet+dom
Galio
if not for gank setup id put him in 1, easy matchup for kassadin you straightup outscale he sucks pp but is VERY strong in setting ganks up for jg, you win that later into game
fleet+dom
Heimerdinger
just outscale him, very annoying because of permaprio, hes barely gankable too and you cant rly destroy his turrets, legit nobrainer
fleet+dom
Irelia
the better irelia is the worse matchup gets (from 2 up to 4-4,5 imo), fighting with her when she has 5 passive stacks is straightup suicide, best bet is to take short trades and try to outscale but she is abusing broken items now (botrk+dd+wits end), your e stacks up almost instantly when she spams q
electro, fleet if not used to
Jayce
one of the worst kassadin matchups, has good poke allin even abit of mixed dmg, rush seekers and try to outscale, beg for ganks or youre doomed in lane, maybe hes bad maybe hes not just dodge that
fleet+dom, electro if confident (gl)
Karma
wise man once said this might be supp player playing mid, so she has barely knowledge on punishing you, if this is a good player expect some creeps lost, she's getting mrs with athene (abit broken item) so your dmg is smaller too, outscale her
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Karthus
very ez dodge his qs and run it down, ppl are not spamming it mid for a reason, you cancel his ulti with your q
electro
Katarina
if not for early cheese with conq+long sword and roam potential she is 1/2, you cancel her ulti with your q, you outscale her
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Kog'Maw
so we are seeing more of ap kog'maw, not rly hard you can run him down after dodging e, he scales pretty damn good but you do better, he's vulnerable to direct engages and thats the only way you kill honestly
fleet+dom, electro if confident
LeBlanc
annoying earlygame, lots of burst but you outscale very hard, she has very good gank setup so just be careful
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Lissandra
kass favored matchup but be careful bc of her gank setup, you outscale hard
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Lucian
disaster of a matchup, zones you from cs since min1, very good allins good poke, hes on a clock if you farm it up its over, rather dodge it if youre a beginner
fleet+dom/fleet+res with 2nd wind
Malzahar
lissandra case except this dude shoves it so fast, quite annoying and also his spellshield late omg.. just outscale and make your teammates pop it, careful when trading you can lose them, if you pop malzas shield once with q you can cast next ones to renew his passive cd, you oneshot voidlings with e
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Neeko
ap
annoying because of her early poke and ccs, matchup gets easier later on, careful about allins because needless to say her ult is powerful, you outscale her
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Nocturne
awful matchup, shove roam shove roam, second version of talon besides the fact he is tankier, has a cc and spellshield, dodge it or gank him
fleet+dom/res, electro if confident
Orianna
the better orianna is the worse the matchup gets, you outscale her after 11 but her autos are super annoying as well as the q range, play it careful dont allin and consider maxing q for lasthit/poke
Pantheon
you outscale after 11, follows very good roams very good can dive you early, make sure to get early seekers, good thing its a rare matchup
fleet+res, electro if confident
Pyke
dont get hit by q+e, dont get cheesed, ping roams and ez matchup, pyke doesnt scale at all, if he gets 2 kills on bot it gets way scarier though
fleet+dom/res, electro if confident
Qiyana
strong allin, strong roams, you outscale fast, sets ganks up very good so be careful
fleet+res, electro if confident
Renekton
scary, he can deny creeps, run you down everytime after lvl3, way stronger bc of botrk+dd, you barely outscale, rather dodge it
fleet+res
Rumble
very good earlygame, be careful and ask jungler for ganks, ulti is very strong for roams and drake skirmishes, you outscale ez
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Sett
depends on itembuild, botrk+tri is 5 if he can snowball it, tank sett is 3,5-4, you can outscale, classic bruiser
fleet+res
Sylas
he went from being a healbot to a q poke machine, annoying but winnable easily, dodge chains and either answer or go away, you outscale
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Syndra
very annoying in lane, has enough burst to kill you, q q q q, you outscale so play it smart, her cd on e is very high at first lvl (18) so you can run her down after 6 with abit of help from your jungler maybe, she scales well too though so be careful
fleet+dom
Talon
so this is the ad asol expect that kassadin ultrasucks in this matchup, you outscale at 16 but before that gl, he roams and kills everything except if you ping your teammates (maybe), dont get hit by the full w and youre good to go, be careful after 6 because his r gives 2 stacks of passive nevertheless, but its winnable
fleet+res
Taric
if youre a new player and see taric+master yi and a proper botlane, just dodge it
its not a common strategy, just a waste of time to play it when you are trying to win against that as kassadin
-
Tristana
right now (10.15) shes on a clock, but in 10.16 i guess she is the best new kassadin counter bc she is able to burst you out and you cant react, always dodge or beg your jungler to help you, shes allin ad so you can take electro to do nasty qew when she goes in, else just farm it up, she permashoves so just freeze it
fleet+res, electro if confident
Twisted Fate
ap
galio case, except that he is ranged and might punish you a bit, also no dmg reduction and magic shields
fleet+dom
Twisted Fate
ad
ad tf player too here, if he goes jbs omnistone build he wins until 11, if he goes electro+ignite he can cheese you 3 so be careful, phage+sheen spike is huge, but its winnable
fleet+dom
Veigar
you counter his kit, you can run him down because of blink, ez matchup
electro
Vel'Koz
awful champ i hate it, has lots of range to poke you down and r is bulls... but you can run him down since he's vulnerable to allins, you outscale
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Viktor
can be annoying in lane, you outscale, somewhat counter his kit, a matchup between 1,5-2, shoves insanely good after first hextech upgrade
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Vladimir
this is a race between you and him: who kills the backwave first
for real though, you're a better champion, he doesn't stand a chance in lane, run him down, be careful of his sustain
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Xerath
similar to ap kogmaw besides that he's stronger early and doesn't scale as good, you can run him down after 6/11 easily
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Yasuo
everything depends on the wave position and how good the yasuo is, same shit as irelia can be either hard or easy af, you permahave e becuase of his q on wave, pop his shield with q, take good trades, it's quite questionable if you outscale
electro, fleet if not used to electro
Zoe
the better zoe is the worse matchup is since her skillcap is insanely high, you outscale but her sleep is annoying, can take some trades after 6, play around sleep, shoves very well, dont play agro if rng gods blessed her with redemption hextech items etc
fleet+dom, electro if confident
Neeko
ad
i dont give it 5 because neeko is rarely played and not to say the as version but its annoying to play against, you can barely trade her bc pta dmg is broken and so is her w dmg combined with cc and selfpeel, try to play with your jungler and focus on short trades/outscaling
fleet+dom, electro if confident
