Cass Support?

She's on sale and I don't have her so I decided to check her out. She's got a lot of nifty CC in her kit, her R and W in particular. I've never seen nor heard of using her as a Support, but surely it would be possible? Kind of like how Zyra wasn't meant to be a Support but her kit just lends her to that role?

I mean I suppose this would work . With landing your miasma would prevent flashing answer decent poke .

I tried, it's feasible but difficult, especially without a smooth early game.

She has some cc but it's a bit variable.

her main identity is high sustained damage by spamming fang on poisoned targets, which requires risky/up close positioning, which is less risky with the extra income/exp from solo laning because she'll likely win a straight up trade, but if she lacks that gold as support she'll probably lose the same trade.

TL:DR with solo resources, she can cc and continue to be a threat, with support resources she can cc and continue to be slightly annoying or gets killed(unless she snowballs from kill godl which is hyper variable).

Her CC isn't that good, yea her W stops dashes but her ult is an ult..she doesn't have very good peel.

She's not very good as a Support. I've tried it before and it's mediocre at best. She's too reliant on items and her W is really awkward. It was better before the rework since it spread out and gave vision. It could work with a powehouse like Draven or a long-ranged sniper like Caitlyn, but that is if the enemy laners don't know how to trade. A good Vayne and Janna combo will destroy Support Cassiopeia.

I've played her support quite a few times, once you get rylais you have good utility, and you can just melt.

I've done cass support quite a few times (before and after her rework), and it's a lot of fun, but it is risky. My best game with it was when I was supporting my Twitch against a Lucian/Thresh bot lane. The Grounded CC was extremely useful in putting pressure onto them.

That and Spellthief gold is easy to proc. The real issue with playing her as a support though, is her high mana costs for her skittles and miasma. So long as your ADC is onboard with it, I usually rush a tear before my sightstone (So that I can continue to poke and zone). She's great vs mobile carries due to grounded, but unless your running some MS quints (or landing your Q's), it can be a little tricky to stay out of reach.

And fun fact, running 45% CDR grants you a shorter twinfangs CD than pre-rework Cass's Twinfangs onto a poisoned target :3
