Cassiopeia is in a slightly awkward spot

AquariusGine··5 votes·496 views

She needs items to get going and her level 2/3 cheese was nerfed. Bad early game, fair enough.

Mid game? Still needs RoA and Tear to charge up, while item 3147 users are running around one-shotting everybody.

What about lategame? She's supposed to be the ultimate lategame AP-DPS hyper carry. Well not really.. Draven EzrealKogMaw MissFortune Twitch Vayne all scale WAY harder.

Heck even Caitlyn is in a better spot because of superior range. Ever been hit by an Ezreal Q or Cait E+ auto lategame? You know how much it hurts as a squishy mage.

Cass doesn't really have a good keystone, Phase Rush is meh and neither Aery nor Comet work well on her. She recently received some buffs but it's not nearly enough. The problem here is that she doesn't really serve any purpose in the current meta.

You want lategame AP hyper carry? Veigar is already a monster midgame. Want a strong midgame AP champion? Just about any other AP mage is a fine choice. Want carries with similar damage output but far superior survivability with a class dedicated to keeping them alive? Pick ADCs.

Right now she's simply trash, the buff wasn't even any use to her. Improving her E-scaling won't do her any good if she's rushing 3 mana items first before acquiring any AP. Her lanephase is terrible and her chance at scaling into lategame is nonexistent in a meta that consists of 20-25 minute games. She desperately needs her early game power restored, there's no other way for her to function in this godforsaken snowball meta.

I completely agree. She needs the last set of early game nerfs reverted. I was afraid to say it since her lvl 2 cheese was quite controversial. Glad to see someone else thinks so too

Whose bright idea was it to make AP items so stupidly expensive compared to AD
