When you realize a perfectly balanced champion was only nerfed for worlds

wasn't even sitting at a 50% average win rate before her changes. If you actually look at the graph of her win rate over the course of game length her mid game was already really slacking compared to her early game and late game.

I admit that Orianna and Syndra are both very strong maybe even OP but Cassiopeia was really a balanced champion that also happened to be viable. Out of all the popular mid lane picks, she was the one that was actually balanced unlike Corki, Syndra, Orianna, and Gallio.

Seriously Riot consider your approach to improving mid lane diversity other than "ooh lets just nerf all the popular comfort picks and hope they decide to lock in other picks for worlds" because we already know they are still gonna resort to their comfort picks. Buffing AP assassins isn't going to change anything either,

She was balanced at whatever your skill level was. Ryze had a shit win rate but was still an insanely strong champion. They balance the game around the best players in the game and she was in the same tier as ori and syndra as far as pros were concerned. Another example is LeBlanc shes has a below 50 % win rate but is almost perma banned around the world in pro play simply because in the right hands she ends games. Not to be rude but you're B5 so your own play has far more of an impact at your skill level than champion changes.
