disagree about Kassadin, he has few counter picks if you only
follow the current meta of AP mages in mid, but a lane swap with
the ADC for the old DotA setup of a the ADC in mid really hurts
Kassadin. Do this till the ADC gets to level 6 then swap back,
or swap if Kass swaps lane earlier.  Currently I can safely say
that Caitlyn, Ezreal and Tristana (levelling Q steroid earlier
than normal) will stop Kassadin snowballing in lane early and
shut him down quickly. The farm trade-off seems not as bad as
people think, you're likely to get a few kills early unless the
Kassadin player knows they have no hope of farming the lane and
roams elsewhere.  TL;DR Kassadin is counter picked by putting
him in lane against an ADC with medium to long range AAs and
that doesn't rely on spell usage.
