If you main/enjoy a champ, better hope the pros don't play them or they get nerfed.

Just now on the PBE

Cassiopeia

Twin Fang (E) bonus magic damage lowered from 15/40/65/90/115 to 10/30/50/70/90 AP ratio increased from 40% to 50%

I knew this was coming. The moment when I saw pros abusing and zoning other midlaners by spamming Cass E at lvl 1 and 2 knowing that mosts champs at that lvl can't compete with her sustain damage. It was so bad that Cass didn't even need to poison them, just the base damage from E and some mana from item 2033 was enough for an early kill or completely zoned off midlaner.

But I can't blame only those abusing Cass lvl 1/2, I also blame the opposing pro player who is stupid enough to go in on Cass at lvl 1/2. They should be enough of a pro to know what Cass can do at that lvl.

Anyway, I have no problem with the actual changes. It just makes Cass scale way better now late game. More like the hyper carry she should be. It's a change in the right direction.

My problem is if you enjoy a champ, you better hope the pros don't play them otherwise they are at a high risk of getting nerfed/reworked.

It's like the entire community is at the mercy of the pros who use cunning new tricks to win matches.

Stat-checking with point-and-click E... "Cunning new trick"...

It's almost like pros are playing her because she's broken or something...

At least , she isnt lb, 45% winrate , lets nerf him. riot patch : we know lb is hard to balance so better make her unplayable off 5 premade, till we rework her , deleting her r ;) .

Lb is broken though, like her winrate is only low, because you need a lot of games to truely abuse her kit. Like what do you even do vs a good leblanc? Idk how much that last nerf hit her, but she was disgusting, when lb main used her in solo q. Literally had everything, mobility, cc, insane burst, wave clear, sustain, poke roam pressure.

Yep , after a rework no one ask 4 it , i mean i like play lb, but it just ask 2 much things , and if my team doesnt follow me , i cant carry as myself.

Cass is busted imo

Shes a late-game hypercarry and a lane bully

To be fair, cassio was pretty "sleeper OP" for a while (from what I can understand she had few "meta counters" with the only true things that did being things like sol and veigar). Not entirely surprised at the nerf, the fact you're somehow blaming competitive is weird as they apparently wouldn't know of her being sleeper-OP by checking playrates and winrates?
