New Cassiopeia nerf

hello! so i used to play cassiopeia allot in the past and that was like 7months ago Cassiopeia but now that the new skin is out i wanted to play her once again. so i played her again in twisted treeline and in early games i felt like .. this is not how i used to play her i don't know if it's the damage lowered from her 'e' that bothers me that's the problem i used to last hit minions with it, because it did more damage then your auto attacks and u didn't lose mana but now.. last hitting with e in early is just the same damage as your auto attack

NOW before anyone flames like'' u nasty bronze cass needed a nerf'' i'm not saying she is weak and didn't need a nerf i mean late game she's still a monster but yeah her 'e' was kinda the same as annie's Q but annie doesn't get any nerf lately .-. Annie

-i just wanted to know if the cassiopeia players feel the same way at this moment

Cass' E has a small fraction of the cooldown Annie's Q does. They didn't nerf it because the last hitting was a problem. They nerfed it because Cass was rushing a defensive item and having little to no tradeoff in terms of damage. I think it was something like -4 damage by building mask instead of RoA and getting a shitload of MR on top of it.

Now before any argument of "Well, Annie could essentially build the same thing and not lose out on much damage..." Well, yeah, she can, but she also stops dealing damage for a significant period of time while her CDs are down. Cass doesn't have to stop. Cass stops when she dies or runs out of mana. Annie has 1 rotation every few seconds. Cass spams E every .5 (?) seconds. Annie can blow 1 person up before she has to wait for CDs. Cass can just keep going. All while the enemy Taliyah is doing pretty minimal damage in return.
