Kassadin is a hard counter to all squishies . Except maybe Veigar. It's a peach versing him as Caitlyn, too.

Banshee's Veil severely reduces Kassadin's effectiveness of killing AD carries. I remember playing Tristana one time with mad deeps, and the Kassadin on the other team decided to surprise buttsex me. Instead of running, I just popped my steroid (before he could silence me obviously) and DPSed him down and laughed.

Generally carries scale harder than casters do, as auto-attacking has two multipliers (critical chance, attack speed) and one additive amount (attack damage), while casters have two additives (base ability damage, ability power) and one multiplier (cooldown reduction). Damage bases for casters are obviously far superior to carry damage base, and the same thing goes for additives to a much lesser degree. However, CDR makes for a craptastic multiplier for casters, while the double multipliers carries benefit from have a much higher cap. And in case you're wondering "why don't casters just spec AD?" Low base damages, no steroids makes for a very hard uphill battle.

Of course, this doesn't mean anything if you're dead xD

So I know I've asked this before, but it went unanwsered. Could anyone list the pros and cons of arpen marks compared to ad marks?

APen generally gets you more effective damage than AD does. It obviously doesn't work below 0 though.

AD allows for easier last-hitting, and champions that scale off of AD benefit from it as well.

And arpen marks are generally the way to go, just to get the minions to 0 armor. Quints, on the other hand, you should carry ad quints since the minions are already at 0 armor.

That's silly. Minions start with 0 armor, and it's not like you're going to get a ton of benefits out of theorycrafting around killing minions by optimizing your APen and AD.

Vastly varies on the champ.

This.
