Cassiopeia: A rework that might please all sides

Kowe The Ewok··3 votes·770 views

Issues with the current Cass:

  • Stack farming is dull
  • Poison identity is lost
  • Too much reliance on E
  • Poor lane presence --> Lost her ability to be a lane bully

Issues with the old Cass according to Riot Stashu (I do not agree, but I will list them)

  • Q deals too heavy damage
  • Cass is supposed to be most impactful lategame

** Suggestion:** New passive: Feebling Venom Enemies effected by Cassiopeia's poison have their attack damage reduced by 4 +2*level and their ability power reduced by 15%.

Explanation: This new passive offer a new way for lane bullying: It makes last hitting more difficult for poisoned enemies, lategame it significantly lowers the damage of poisoned mages, while % based reduction barely hinders earlygame magic damage.

**Noxious Blast ** RANGE: 850 COST: 40 / 45 / 50 / 55 / 60 MANA 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 COOLDOWN: 4 3 (Back to pre rework value) DESCRIPTION: Cassiopeia hurls poison at the cursor's location, which strikes after a 0.65 second delay. All enemies within the 75-radius area are poisoned, taking magic damage over 3 2 seconds. If the enemy is hit by Twin Fang the duration is increased by 0.5s up to a maximum of 5s. MAGIC DAMAGE PER SECOND: 25 / 38.33 / 51.67 / 65 / 78.33 (+ 15% AP) (+ 20% AP)

Explanation: Noxious Blast now deals relatively low damage on it's own - but has the advantage of being a good setup for Twin Fang. Either maxing Twin Fangs, or Noxious Blast is viable now damage wise. While damage is low so are the mana costs, it can be spammed relatively well in order to deny her enemy CS with her new passive. Both, her E and her Q become more mana efficient the more often Twin fang hits, even if Twin Fang has a low rank a Q a high one, vice versa.

Else Miasma, Twin Fangs and Petrifying Gaze get set to pre rework values. While I'ld suggest to lower her E's mana costs slightly.

I feel like this idea might please both sides. The values are subject to change and by no means final.

EDIT Wow they first "I hate it" came 27s after the topic was posted, must be a fast reader.

At least it sounds miles better than what we currently have. The Passive is quite unique and would be interesting to see it in action, would help dueling.

  • Stack farming is dull

Before I read all of it let me stop you right there. It is not that the farming is dull. It is that being forced to harass enemies on a weak early game champion is counter productive.

Edit and also that both her mid and early game are weaker than before.

She has no reason to be a lane bully at all. Mid lane has enough of those already, let there be an actual AP hypercarry.

There's no place for "AP hypercarrys" since those kind of things cannot really solo lane... unless they are Ryze.

The spot of ap hard carry has already been filled by some dork named Azir.

Edit oh yeah and Karthus.
