More Gameplay Tips for Kassadin Players

Tips and Tricks

Kassadin needs to be careful during the laning phase because he has little mobility early on and can only get last hits in melee range.

Make sure the enemy team is focused on your allies before entering a teamfight, never be the one to initiate or be in the front lines.
