If you're looking for a picture, I can give you one:

If you're looking for examples, I can give you some:

Negligence in discharging one's responsibilities:

Remember the initial Cass rework from 4.16? The one that received an equally massive outcry like the Mordekaiser one? There's a reason why people constantly refer to her as a bad example on how to do a rework, and I'm going to tell you why. It's the lack of willingness to listen or consider what others have to say about a champion while enforcing some twisted fantasy that goes against the already established identity of said champion. Instead of working on their issues you simply create new ones - how is that healthy in any way?

The worst part however is that you're not even realizing how inherently flawed these kinds of reworks are. The inevitable consequence of those changes is a heavily neutered champion who's lost their way with an equally diminished or enstranged playerbase. Say what you want but Cassiopeia has a lot less players since the rework happened over a year ago, the last set of nerfs from 6 months ago pretty much ensured that. From that point on you never looked back and left her in a state which is neither dead or alive, she's basically trapped in purgatory and you couldn't care less about her despite months of attempts to convince you otherwise.

A downfall brought about by many negligences:

At this point I'm not even sure if I should be shocked by your lack of care or about the stubborn attitude you've kept up this long, once again ignoring our pleas to reconsider when it came to discussing preseason-changes. Well guess what, she's pretty much scewed now thanks to the League of Curbstomps basically ending every game after 20-25 minutes. There's simply no room for lategame champs anymore, especially ap ones. You definitely made sure of that with those horrific item changes. Heck, you didn't even consider expanding her manapool or increasing her mana-regen like you did for some other mages.

Wanna know what's the worst about all this? The fact that you haven't even any plans for her despite acknowledging her questionable state. If you're not sure on how to buff this champion without making her completely bonkers, you NEED to put her on the rework schedule - there's no other way. If a champion has become too problematic to fix, you need to restart from scratch (or simply revert the changes, but I doubt you'd be ever willing to do that).


All you did was take a random champion, utterly destroy them and then leave them to rot for an undetermined period of time without even giving any feedback for the community that you're actually working on the problem. You're merely delaying and trying to distract us with constant updates on things that didn't even need changes in the first place, like those marksmen-changes for example. In the end you merely created an entirely new whirlpool of problems for us to get lost in while shoving the original ones under the carpet.

No, I won't put up with this any longer. It's time for immediate action, it's time for YOU to do the right thing. The least you could do is revert some of those nerfs to her sustain/mana-costs, it'd be a start at least and a way to bridge the wait for bigger changes until you finally come up with a concept for another rework.

You talk like you have a say in it. Dont deceive yourself, this is free to play game, you have privilege to play here. You are going to put up with everything or you can leave. There isnt 3rd option.

Just you wait until they do the same to your main, then we'll see what you'll do about it.

I have every right to be upset over this, especially considering how long this form of negligence has been going on. The least I can do is warn others about the way this company is treating its costumers. Yes, I said costumer - after all I've spent real money on this game.

You're the one who's deceiving themselves if you really think this is still a 'free to play' game.

It happened many times, my main is Morgana(mid). She received alot of nerfs.And i still play her, and i will still play her. I dont main her because she is weak or strong, i main her because i like and accept her the way she is. I dont ask RIOT to buff her so i can be good with her, i find a way to do it myself. You spent money probably on skins, which was your choice. Does it say anywhere that after you buy skin , you have right to meddle in development of game? I dont understand, how can someone who gets something for free, complain about that thing. Thats just plain idiocy. Its FREE TO PLAY game, if you dont like it, nothing stops you from leaving and nothing forces u to stay. If your friend brings you gift, and you dont like it. Do you go to him and complain, asking him to give u better gift? No, you accept, and you thank him.

Riot already confirmed a relaunch for him in the works, meanwhile Cass remains as irrelevant as ever. But feel free to create your own thread if you want to raise awareness about your favorite champion.

Reverting nerfs won't do anything positive for her. In her current state she either does terribly or is completely overbearing. It's unfortunate, but I don't think a simple change of numbers will be enough to put her in a state of balance again.

Riot don't care about her, despite all the posts that have been made. Don't waste your time. Riot is just waiting for the crowd to be done and see Cass forgotten.

That's still no reason to give up trying. As long as others learn about the way they're treating failed reworks, I'm satisfied.

Again with this thread? You couldn't even go 2 days before reposting this

I don't "repost" threads, all of my threads are original in the way they're structured and formulated. But since you're unwilling to properly read any of them, it's no wonder you're reacting like this. But hey, if you don't care about Cass, why are you here then?

And for your information, THIS thread was deleted 2 days ago by Riot themselves because of the Cass image I've used as my thumbnail. I can prove it, too (after all I received a private message over this). Even if the image itself wasn't exactly lewd in nature, it still was drawn by a questionable artist which gave them reason enough to take down the entire thing. I merely replaced the image with something workplace friendlier, that's it.

Do you seriously expect me to give up after my thread was deleted just because of the thumbnail I used? I won't let my efforts simply go to waste like that, you can't even imagine how much time I spend on writing those essays. So I chose to replace the thumbnail to avoid any further actions by Riot.

Now go troll somewhere else with your red herring argument if you have nothing constructive to say about the topic at hand.
