Cass's new passive
I am aware that these are NOT final, however it was confirmed that it IS the direction she is going in
When I first saw the new kit I was really excited! The elimination of her old passive, and some power distribution. I was also really excited for her new anti-mobility CC, and I think it's great that Riot is putting in forms of CC to counter dashes and such.
That said, I really really don't like the new passive, because while it doesn't do it as much, it still has the same gating issues that her current passive has. While we have no numbers currently, I can almost guarantee that she is going to have a low movespeed, and then it will scale up to Swifties at level 18. Unless this passive makes her SUPER fast, it really doesn't help her at all, and might even hurt her by blocking her out of
and the Mpen it gives. The first comparison that comes to mind is
's passive, which combined with her astronomical mana cost on her main ability make it more of a hindrance than anything (they could just as easily not give her that passive and lower her mana costs)
Can we just give Cass a simple, low power budget, and NOT gating passive? Two immediate ideas are a Magic Resist Shred or Slow on both posions, or a slight mana regen boost when enemies are poisoned.
I know that without numbers, I am probably just jumping to conclusions and using inb4 logic, but I really just don't want riot to make the same mistake they made last time they reworked her.
