Cassiopeia Mains

I Just came back to the game about a week ago. I was pretty sad when I saw Cass was like one the worst champs in the game because while I was a Wukong main last season I did play Cass a lot also and she is probably my favorite champion ever. I know it is really early into the new patch, but do you guys think that she will actually become strong again like Tier 1 strong with her hot fix and buffs from 6.10? Do you think you she will be at least viable like tier 2? Like I said I know its early, but what do you guys think? I love the champion but I also like winning lol.

She feels way better now and I love it! Way better than the previous rework.
All she needs is to get the vision back on miasma.

She's pretty much Tier 1 right now after all the buffs.

i wouldn't give her a tier one right now just because of how strange her mechanics are atm... her new crowd control "grounded" is cool but not having boots will hurt midgame if u cant catch up and land your (what was it? E? W? sorry i dont play Cass too much) cc skill.

having said that she is relatively strong after these buffs now that there is an extended range for her to smash you with poison

She can catch up easy. Her Q on a 3 second cooldown gives her 50% movespeed at rank 5 and 30% movespeed at rank 1 that decays over 3 seconds.

oh ok... IC ty for telling me as im not investing into cass... but one question. You have to land it to give u move speed right? (its kind of a duh question isnt this?)

You do but you can always throw W down which is a 80% AoE slow at max rank and make it impossible to miss. Her twin fang also is on a 0.75 cooldown always no matter if you hit a poisoned target or not. So when you build Rylais you can perma slow them every 0.75 seconds with E.

ohhh... wait i tot the whole point of the rework on Cass was to change the way her kit worked so she wasnt a spamming e kind of champ...

is her E still reset on hitting poisoned targets? cuz that defeats the purpose of the rework

Before the rework her E was on a 0.5 second cooldown if you hit a poisoned target and 5 second if they weren't poisoned and you E them. Now its on a 0.75 second cooldown whether they are poisoned or not.

oh icc.. so shes now just a "imma slap u with poison and make u stuck so u cant get away" type of champ now lol

She played a lot smoother today after the hotfix/patch 6.10. Her Miasma still doesn't grant vision though. I liked the mechanics of the old Cass better, don't know why they couldn't adjust the ap ratio/mana costs. Her passive is meh, but at least it's somewhat better than the old one.

I feel like she is strong now with her small buffs and she will be less clunky to play. i love the new thing where you cant buy boots because now she will just be high damage midgame champ

most champs will need a tier 2 boots to keep up in midgame lessening their damage because of itemization but Cass? no problem... idk where u were looking for Cass' winrate but i find her to be pretty strong since the rework anyway

Honestly, the rework was good. IMO, the reason New Cass is a little weird to get the hang of, is more due to the item changes and updates, I know that was the weirdest part for me. But, legit, it's a good change. With 40% CDR (even 45%), Twin fangs is on a lower cooldown than it was pre-rework with casting on a poisoned unit. (0.5 s to potentially 0.41s), That extra item slot opens up a hell of a lot of possibilities.

\o/ Praise the cass

Yeah, but I would rather buy different items. Because of her playstyle, she needs so many items to help her (Rylais, VoidStaff, etc).

ThørnMay 19, 20161 votes

I actually find that I don't pick up rylais on current cass, I used to always rush it haha, Now I find that a Luden's echo with 3 MS quints keep me pretty safe, that and the MS boost from her Q is amazing x3

i really like her new passive.

EraenisMay 19, 20161 votes

I wouldn't get my hopes up to high. She is actually fine numbers wise. She just became mechanicaly awkward to the point of beeing unplayable in alot of situations. If she gets any balance buffs, she will propably be completely overbearing for any champion without the tools to deal with her, while still beeing completely helpless against others.

Repertoir already stated, that they are going to wait 1 or 2 patches before they re-evaluate her state. Let's hope for the best....

I don't know. She is definitely easier to use with her new E though I'm kinda sad that they made her easier. The dmg isn't as good as it used to be i think and I still think her previous W was much better than her new one. The slow is pretty bad and doesn't poison the enemies anymore for 2 sec.

I think her previous version was still stronger but maybe the new one is easier to play. Not what I wanted but I atleast I was able to dominate in some matches.

She is really strong now and her W is good for ganks, she will get nerfed eventually so take advantage of her state now.

has anyone of you cassiopeia mains tried her with a tanky build?

i didnt get around to it yet, but i mean something like item 3135 item 3116 item 3151 item 3065 item 3157 item 3027

rod of ages being an important part as a catalyst item to synergize with the heal on her e. since she can spam it, and the mana cost is indvidually not that high, it will basically get her 100% worth of the passive and constant sustain when shes using her spells to cs.
