You wont said the same if you had to lane with Kassawin... (Yeah i know im peaching too much about that bastard)

Kassadin is an AP mid counter. You're better off sticking your AD mid and having your AP go bot with the support.
Unless you are confident in your ability to lane vs Kassadin. I'm not sure how Ziggs would fare. Early before he can do his combo you can probably zone him out through bomb harass but afterwards probably just grab blue and throw bombs to farm and not get too close for him to RQER combo you.

Pretty much if you get near anywhere his tele range you are pineappleed. And the Swapping its only valid when your teammates ACTUALLY want to swap, thing that just dont happen with moronic randoms.

Actually, with Lulu's AP buff skill if someone picks Kassadin before you pick your support and AD you can pick up Cait or Sivir to go mid and have Lulu and an AP go bot.

Some observations and notes:

-- If you left-click the minimap and slide around the screen for a little bit, it does a slick, smooth transition! UI department is now thinking!

Lulu:
-- Cast W on self for hoverboard. I dunno if this is just the skill or if you achieve insanely high MS.
-- R can be used as a huge heal, although it is also incredibly costly.
-- You can cast her shield (E) on minions, but afaik, Pix doesn't attack alongside them.
-- Pix does not attack structures, period.
-- You cannot cast W on minions. It would have made her good at pushing towers otherwise, if you can time recalls correctly.
-- I gained 6 more damage versus outer turrets when I self-cast level 1 W. Hmm.... This is her only skill that will help assist direct damage versus towers, due to the AP increase.
-- If you tag an enemy with E, casting Q is NOT guaranteed to hit them. It's very unlikely for it to miss though.

I'm sure people have already realized it, but I'ma say it anyways. Lulu seems to be a lot like a Nidalee: jack of all trades, master of none. She seems to be a step in the direction of partially breaking the current meta, but I don't expect any dramatic results. The slow aura on her ult seems to be a unique feature though.

ROFL! Tbh, I'm not surprised at this. I had to do a double take a few times when my parents were tuned into some Chinese channel and the familiar MS music comes on......ripping off music ftw?

Which champion are you having troubles with against him? He's one of the easiest lanes to me, as long as his jungler doesn't get too involved, while mine is forever MIA. You can easily build an item/level advantage on him pre 6 and after 6 you can still trade really well, if you can cast skills fast and can keep your distance. And he's also incredibely mana hungry without blue buff (which is getting nerfed too this patch). Play him yourself twice or so in normals and you'll see where his weaknesses lie.

YORDLE POWER!

YORDLE POWER.

HEY RESSIC, IT'S TIAMAT TUESDAY. And I'm really enjoying Rumble, omg. Yordles. ❤

[Dredragon]

People say kassadin is awesome, but I can never do anything with him! People like to tell me to o mid, I always refuse, because I die horribly from long range harassment. ;-;

Blue buff nerf? Anivia, nooo!

[Connor]

Kassadin has one of the worst early games because he can't farm well and is melee, but once he hits 6 and has blue buff he becomes an absolute nightmare and is one of the strongest midgame champs. With high mobility, cc and burst damage he can get fed really easily and his ult makes him slippery to catch.

He's frequently banned because of this fact. Being able to counter most AP mids is not something people want to deal with. Much like Morgana.

Pretty much this, hes a major middle finger to every (Or most Ap mid) in the game if you dont steamroll his early game.

...? So steamroll his early game. It's incredibely easy, as has been pointed out before. Ward his second blue and steal it. You got way more damage and range, usually, so it'll be easy to steal. Guess this is a lot easier with my most played mid: Lux though hehe.

[Remoir]

Cast W on self for hoverboard. I dunno if this is just the skill or if you achieve insanely high MS.

she has 3 different run animations like the past 2(?) champions.

[Corn]

Ha ha Phreak. Didn't say tons of damage for once or used a Trinity Force, but he still jungled =D.

[Dredragon]

Okay, I know you hate Kassawin, but can you give me some ideas for items to make first? You know, while we're at it, throw in some Renekton tips. Only Champs I can use good are Warwick and Anivia. :<

Anyways, I tried Nocturne from the free champ rotation, and damn, he's fun to use. Anally raped the other team. Well, not anally, but still raped. Only problems were tanks of course, but right when I got my second phantom blade and was going for my madreds, they surrendered.

Not sure if those items work on him, but I like it. Fast, criticals every second (plus infinity edge), and bloodthirster. Oh, and I tried the hexdrinker upgrade, and man, that's a nice early game item.

[Purplefire44]

Amumu OP

Many successful ganks were made
Managed to kill noc in his jungle a couple times too
And sion ragequit after my third gank top

[Nalek]

Just as I thought. Talon mid rushing hexdrinker is too good. Forced their mid to top because of it... which we just switched lanes ofc ^_^ Unfortunately i was the only one on the team that did well, and we lost ;-;

[Berzerk]

Play Graves mid, rush the new Maw item. Rape Ziggs. I am a happy camper. Ended up going 9/2/11 with 14.2k Gold by the end. Easily did the best in the game.

[WillDaSnail]

So......

Anyone willing to try something a bit different with me? AP carry + Lulu bot?

(Do note: I have done the AP + support bot stuff before, notably with Manu in a high 1100 ELO game months back (lol), so this is something that's not completely new to me :P)

[Five Second Pose]

AP carry + Lulu bot only works if they have an anti-caster mid if I'm thinking correctly, I would think it's too risky to put sustained damage against burst early game.
