Can we preemptively nerf Frostqueen Mid Cassiopeia?

Because I forsee issues. Any other outliers that could benefit greatly from it? Personally I think maybe Singed could use it.

They're making Spellthief's Edge and its upgrades more specifically suited to poke-Supports; by which I mean, they're changing the Tribute passive to have a lower cooldown on minion kill, but the cooldown is cumulative, so each minion kill you gain adds another 8 seconds on top of the first, until you've cleared three minion waves and can't get money from poke.

So, midlaners, and AP top laners? Probably won't be buying Spellthief's Edge anytime soon.

Frost Queen's claim doesn't actually have that effect. Guess that's the issue here.

Really? Huh. Well, I guess Riot might be hoping that the initial items Tribute debuff and the fact that you at least have to buy a tier-two Support item to complete the quest will be enough to dissuade non-Supports from taking advantage of it.

Though, seeing as Frost Queen's Claim isn't bound by the same Tribute rules, that does make me worry just a bit.

The introduction of Adaptive Helmet is already a massive nerf to Cassio's overall damage potential. Cut her some slack, will you?

Granted, but isn't that just another tanky option besides banshee and spirit? As in, not likely to be bought early to mid-game by the average midlaner.

I think itll be bought because itll make her basically useless. There are a handful of items that are bought just to dny your opponent from playing the same game as you.
