Riot, revert Cassiopeia, please. I even have a simple suggestion to make her not overbearing.
(Most of this is copy and paste from a comment I made on another post)
It's just absurd at this point.
Riot doesn't want to buff Cassiopeia because she's too binary and too overbearing when strong. You know, a binary mess BECAUSE of Riot Stashu's "Rework?"
They could revert it. That's what Cassiopeia's fans want, right? Well, better a revert than... this.
I don't understand. This rework caused many of Cassiopeia's current balance woes, why not revert it? She wasn't a problem before, was she? But I suppose she was, because Riot said "She was too much of a lane bully before," despite the Syndra's and Ziggs and Zeds who far outclassed her at mid season 4. The bullshit of this statement is only highlighted because Cassiopeia wasn't touched at ALL throughout season 3 until her rework, AT THE LEAST, (I started playing in Season 3.)
OH, NO WAIT, now that I check, Cassiopeia got 2 changes in Season 3. And you know what? They were BUFFS. In patch 3.07, they made her Twin Fang count as a single target spell (which basically means Rylai's and spellvamp were fully applied instead of partially.) And in patch 3.12, where they reduced Cassiopeia's ultimate cost to 100 mana at all ranks from 100/150/200. So, Riot thought Cassiopeia had been too WEAK, and now suddenly she was an oppressive lane bully?
Hoo boy. I just... I don't understand. Riot's already admitted that they don't think the rework delivered, so revert it. It would not be that hard, none of her abilities changed in function, at ALL. It's literally all just number tweaks across the board aside from her passive, which would not take long to reintroduce into the game if they used the old one. Hell, Cassiopeia's passive now has snakes whirling around her, why not just use them like her old Deadly Cadence passive?
AND HOW HARD IS THIS?
- (E) Twin Fang, reduced cooldown on poison refreshed increased to 1 second from .5
OMG WOW CASSIOPEIA IS NO LONGER OVERBEARING WITH HER MACHINE GUN FANG.
Literally make Twin Fang's reduced cooldown 1 second instead of .5 if the spammyness of it is too much, and the reverts of the rest of her abilities (MASSIVE buffs in that case) would make up for it. Cassiopeia would be strong without making her lane opponent die from one false step, which is the rework's problem, right? So revert her until another, PROPER rework for Cassiopeia can be thought of, or, if it turns out decently, leave her be!
But of course... Riot hates admitting they make mistakes almost as much as they hate Cassiopeia herself.
It just sucks for a champ to be a shadow of their former selves.
Come on Riot, if you're going to take eons to fix Cassiopeia than revert her for a band-aid fix until that time comes. I do not see the issue.
Please, can we get a red response on this idea? Why not revert Cassiopeia, if you won't, at the least? Just an explanation?
