Cassiopeia Rework A Total Failure

Cassiopeia might not have been that great, no escapes, no gap closers and no wave pushing, but still she always had a specific role, be super aggressive in lane and snowball the game or peel for your team.

Right from lvl 2 one could be super aggressive, spamming twin fang in colaboration with her q would easily outrade anyone cocky enough trying to get an early lead in lane. Landing her q was also much more valuable, yes its ap ratio was smaller but its dot damage was better and let's not forget about her old passive.

My classic build would be item 3151 ,item 3158 ,item 3116 ,item 3003 ,item 3157 and item 3135, along with the right masteries and runes, giving her all the burst she needed along with her passive as well as enough cdr to stack with her passive.

The old cassie was much more agile, had a better passive, faster in peeling down enemies, had a better w, no cdr issues, cheaper build, and much faster scaling with a more effective late game.

It's not that the new Cassipeia is the worst mage out there but she is nothing like what she used to be, I can't possibly comprehent how Riot expects more people to play her now that she is worse than ever.

I feel with you. Don#t know why they had to change her, she was neither op nor underpowered and had a unique gameplay. They should just revert the changes and it'll be better than anything they could do in 10 patches/hotfixes.

Riot doesn't like lane bully Cass. That was a primary goal of the Shurima rework and we'll never see it again. They want her to be a hypercarry meaning her early game should be pretty weak unless the enemy messes up.

Wait... you LIKED Cass post shurima rework? The first cass rework was so terrible it gave me a tumor in my stomach that I had to have surgically removed. That tumor then escaped and ate four nurses, one doctor and an old lady's cat before it was put down by showing it the Sion rework and cancelling out it's evil juju enough to bludgeon to death with a shovel.

Riot has been pretty consistantly punching Cassiopeia in the face and taking her lunch money since they decided to rework her in the first place way back when. They made her trash, then reworked her AGAIN to make her OP for about a week before they nerfed her back into trash. And now they've reworked her again and she's.... still pretty trash. It's almost like having 90% of your champion built around ONE uninteresting spell is a bad idea. She's a poor man's Ryze. At least he has 4 boring skills to spam and he can't mess up and not do damage with one because he pressed E-Q instead of Q-E.

Cass needs her Q and W to be meaningful, since they're what she relies on for most of the game. E is for going in hard for the kill... but you can not and SHOULD not be doing that all the time. Spambot Cass is lame and has all of ONE thing she can do, which is run in mashing E and hoping no one blows her up.

Anyone stupid enough not to build item 3089 on Cassiopeia doesn't get a say
