Wasn't the idea to rework Cassiopeia for being "an oppressive lane bully"

Now you have to lane Q/W to be able to deal most of your damage whereas you used to be able to safely harass with Q alone.

There's counterplay and meaningful choices now. Riot just needs to tweak mana costs/pool/regen until she's at the most healthy point she can be.

Dodge Q, Cass can't follow up with E spam. CC Cass and she can't use her abilities. Shut her down early and she's just a squishy mage. Don't run headlong into her ultimate and you'll win Team Fights. it's a lot better than when she put all of her points into Q and safely farmed while you played DDR trying to avoid all of her Qs.

She's just like any other Ranged and/or AP Top Lane Champion that is vulnerable to the likes of Irelia, Renekton and Riven.

Yes, that was the idea. For midlane, at the very least.

However, the lane bully Cass is now in the top lane, and no longer in the mid lane. And she's only that lane bully against melees, who voluntarily have to move into her sphere of influence to do stuff, and hence eat a QEEE for it.
