Cass nerfs on pbe O_o?

Yeah, that's what I felt, Riot was intending to nerf top lane cassiopeia. However, I feel like the nerfs were unwarranted in the current meta where highly mobile assassins roam free deleting anyone, especially mana intensive mages.

She is incredibly oppressive to play against if you're melee which is why playing her top lane is trending now. The nerfs are needed.

She was very powerful.

But the irony is that she essentially functions as a late-game ADC who spends mana to auto attack. (E spam.)

If she was going to get nerfs, mana was the right way to go. Retains her strength but requires her to be a bit more strategic. Increasing Q cost also makes it slightly more punishing if she misses it.

Riot: "We hear you don't like the new Cassiopeia, but how about if we stuff her full of numbers?!" Sheeps:* "Yay Cass is totally fine now! Look at that 54% win rate! That means she is fine! Rework success!"* Riot:* "They like it now! Nerf time!"*

YESSSS!!! CASS NERFSSS!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

But as OverpoweredSoap said, all ranged top laners are lane bullies. Heck, you could try annie top in your next game and completely dominate your melee lane opponent. As for perma kiting with rylai's, sure she can but a lot of champions in the current roster have some form of dash/flash.

It's almost like they forgot why they lowered the mana costs in the first place. Pre buffed Cass went oom so fast, especially doing objectives. I guess we gonna have to waste money on Seraphs and RoA once again...

This is what happens when you take a rework, and overload it with large numbers just so the rework is considered viable.

Even though she is not very mobile Cass is quite overpowered at the moment. Her damage output even early-mid is quite high. Late game she's a monster.

She's quite good top lane. The lane gives her time to farm, stack tear, gain passives. It's a great place for ranged hypercarries to scale up since teleport is so useful up there. Against many melees her laning phase is more than bearable. She's basically Ryze 2.0; squishier but far more lethal

Those just hurt Cass. not toplane Cass... RoA's the real problem, not Cass.

Well at surrenderat20 it say [Heavy WIP here, more things to check. Hold tight until game servers come up].All so Ahri has the same thing and Riot said they where going to make some changes to her some what do to the removal of DFG.

So maybe their still more to see.

was needed

Notice how they said the servers aren't up yet so they don't have the full list of changes. While these may be it, they are still justifiable. Cass is really strong.
