So, after another freeweek, time to buff cass?

well, after rework cassiopeia's winrate plummeted to the worst in game. Because of this Stashu said that after the free week he would have enough data to "dive deep" so he could see an awful rework achieved none of the goals it set out to, but instead, made the champ worse all around. After he "dove" he gave some pitiful buffs to cassiopeia, and then she went free week again. Now stashu, that you have more data, will you "dive deep" again and give her some more minuscule buffs ( just give her q the syndra treatment and you'll be fine with me). This said, the last bit of buffs brought her from 39-40% winrate to about 44% which is acceptable, but not nearly what you promised. You promised that cass would do TOONNSSS of damage, yet it would be considered amazing if you got within 20k of old cass's avg damage. You said she would be a hypercarry, she isn't, sure you can kill 1-2 but do to your lack of range, sustain, or mobility cass gets focused and instagibed extremely easily, making it pointless. Not only is she awful at being hyper carry, she reaches that status much later. Most hyper carries reach that status near 30-40 min with 3-4 items. cass needs atleast 5 items and 400 stacks which is near impossible to get before 45 min. which is a major reason why she doesnt even reach 50% win rate till 50 min. GIVE CASS SOME BUFFS.

I really enjoy Cass too. I actually really like the concept of the rework and love the idea that she could be one of the great late game casters. I do however agree with a lot of the criticism in this post as well. I love the scaling idea but it takes quite a long time to scale up her passive if your opponents play passively. I think that one of the first things they could try to help her ramp a little faster would be to allow .25 passive stacking per second that minions are poisoned. Or hell make it even lower. Like .167 meaning that for each second you poison a whole minions wave you get 1 stack. The other thing you might consider is buffing her self sustain on her e just a tad. This could put her in the realm of the Ryze's or other hypercarries to allow her to sustain during teamfights.

Hear, hear. It's beyond me how they can keep this facade up, there still aren't any indications of further buffs on the PBE. When will they finally act?
