Everyone go play her and see the atrocity of game design for yourselves.
Watch in horror as your opponent's health bar goes up when you poison them if you don't hit them with your overloaded ass E.
Wait bored in the nexus for 50 minutes before your stacking passive decides you can be a contributing member of society.
Experience the pain, misery, and failure for yourselves for free this week and save your precious points for someone who hasn't gotten butchered.
I just played her for the first time since the update, and I personally think Rito did a marvelous job. People act like she wasn't broken before.
Every time I've played with or against the new 
, it feels like shes only useful spamming E against a cc'd target. Its like playing with pre -6 
until late game.
After trying her out,
I actually kind of like the strategy where you Q the caster minions and then E them to death and get 9% of your max mana back (in exchange for like, the 40 mana cost for casting Q). It's like a more mechanically intensive variant of Brands W-E caster minion waveclear, but the trade off is you get more mana back for doing so.
The E amplifying the poison damage by 20% I feel should be removed, it doesn't feel impactful/noticeable at all. They should just change Q to deal bonus damage to champions (like Syndra or Darius Q). She trades poorly early and midgame and trading/harass drains your mana pool hard.
Also the passive bonuses being gated at checkpoints are just annoying. The bonuses are nice, but they don't feel impactful.
I dislike her new style. But balance wise she is fine. The only thing which annoys the heck out of me is trying to explain people "don't surrender, I need 27 more stacks than I can 3 HKO their support and 4 for their adc". "Yes if you give me just three minutes I carry this even if we're 8 kills behind."
Hell, I even got reported by a tripple premade (who then started intentional feeding) because I refused to surrender (@ 487 stacks and 1k AP).
Am I missing something? I played against a cass yesterday and her kit seemed to work exactly the same as it used to and she damaged me just fine, still annoying as ever.
And before anyone says anything, we won the game and I ended 7-2-3, so I'm not mad I got stomped or whatever.
I hate how her play style was drastically changed, but to say its broken in that it doesn't work is an exaggeration. When she hits 500 stack, she can obliterate anything, give her a WoA, she's quite literally unkillable once she hits 500 stacks.
Not to say I like it...but come on, don't over exaggerate it, the problem isn't broken viability, the problem is broken identity.
I'm getting really sick and tired of coming onto the forums to try and discuss changes needed for Cass in order to make her more in line with what she used to be, and seeing threads like this pop up who claim she's underpowered. THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM! And if anything, that's not even remotely close to what the problem is.
And by continuing to assume that's the problem, while you might think you're helping with the cause, you're doing far more harm than good by making false claims and discrediting those who recognize the problem here: broken identity.
I like her... been playing her since her updates happened :P
Umm... I just played Cassi and she is unbelievably broken... I was doing terrible in terms of KDA the entire game, then came to instaexplode everyone on their team late game (in terms of damage, my teammates took a lot of the kills which is all good and everything). The thing is that Cassi is stupid broken if you play her right and ACTUALLY land her poison which you have 2 shots at with 2 different poison abilities, and you have great chase potential with 20% bonus MS on landing Q and her Slow on her W... If you land any poison (which is easy when you ulti stun them), then they are more than likely done. Get a will of the ancient and the 5% bonus CDR from masteries, and you'll be getting 40% CDR at 300 stacks (which is even easier to get to now, and you don't have to spend all your time farming and you get more time to roam and gank with the new updates to her passive). Throw on that ridiculous damage and spell vamp from will of the ancients (and the healing you get from your E with 100 stacks), and your sustain because ABSURD... They literally don't even damage her in a fight unless she gets CCed or focused. Otherwise, she completely single-handedly deal all the damage your team needs to blow up the enemy team. She's got WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more damage than people might think if you can actually land poison.
Bricks, you can Snapshot all those "satisfied-oriented" comments. So when the time comes (patch nerfs etc etc) you could do a massive post and pinpoint with your finger WHO and WHEN they commented such stupidity. Would be fun, just saying.
