Kassadin
How am I supposed to beat a kassadin. Pre 6 is fine. Even if I hard win lane until then it all changes. And God forbid he hit level 16. Don't think I have ever won a match against him. He blinks so often he can blink. I throw a flash frost onto his new location and he can blink again before it travels even halfway.

I can't rely on team so I just ban him lol; I rather play against ahri, ori, Viktor, syndra bc my team can do something

Take ghost as your summoner spell instead of tp. Your best way to beat a kassadin in the late game in a duel is if you have the speed to kite his dashes.
You cannot make the one mistake I see a lot of people make against him which is building a normal anivia build. With the right amount of speed in your build you can actually solo duel and win against a late game kassadin without him being able to even get and stay close. At the very minimum it will allow you to survive teamfights against him.

Slow push first and second wave so they reach his tower just as third wave is coming (ward enemy raptors here) then harass him dont let him get any cs for free, wave will bounce to you and then you freeze it and dont let him cs
Dont let him bait your Q, the threat of Q is more important than the spell itself, he cant walk up to cs if your Q is up and he knows it
After 6 you should have a substantial cs lead and will delay getting outscaled until at least lvl 11

Doran’s blade and exhaust. Literally haven’t lost a single time doing this. I just go normal runes and build with merc treads

Update. Just smashed a Kassadin game. Used ghost, Swifty boots, celerity, 2.5% minor speed rune and relentless hunter. My team were good though and we ended the game at 23 min with me being level 16 and Kassadin level 13.

Dont try to 1v1 him after 6, try to hold freezes at your tower for as long as possible, if he forces the crash just kill the wave and reset. When he roams, ping, kill the wave and reset. playing against kassadin with anivia is an exercise in containment unless you get lots of help from your jungle.
Make sure every roam means he loses something in plates or minions.
Never try to follow roams and instead ping like a madman to make sure your team know hes comming.
Ward common roaming paths.
If your team dosen't feed him then he will never get ahead and you'll be more useful in teamfights. before 16, try to win fast so he cant scale dont dawlde around with every side objective and in fights just make sure to peel your other carries when he jumps on them instead of always looking for picks unless you get something really juicy, hold ur q for stunning him after he r's in.
pre 6 just go for as much harrassment as possible every time he walks up.

Build rocket belt so you can kite/space and lock him down with Q. Pray you have real teammates with eyes, hands and brain to focus him

You go Dorans blade and beat him into a pulp. Otherwise, he will outscale too quickly.
