In the first game one thing I can see immediately is that you had to build mr. When there's a brand on the enemy team with those items, there's no reason not go get banshees. If you aren't losing lane against ad then sometimes it's better to build a seeker's armguard and sit on that instead of finishing zhonya's. As a carry you should never be face checking bushes so remember to upgrade your trinket to blue. Even though you kept yellow trink, you only have 3 wards placed. Place more.

In the second, once again you needed mr but didn't build any. Same thing as earlier you need to place more wards and get a blue trinket. Don't get a deathcap before morello's. Part of the power of morello's is the mana sustain in lane. By the time you got it you no longer needed that sustain. Another thing with items is against a karthus zhonya's should be one of your first items.

I don't play cass but in general think about your items more and ward better.

Very good advice! I'll remember everything you've said.

That brand was also a gold 5 :/.

I mained Cassiopeia in S5, but I still play her sometimes. I didn't like her rework, especially with the W. Doesn't synergize with her kit as well as her old one (although it is somewhat better in teamfights)

Personally, after Goddess Tear, I get a Ruby Crystal first and then build the other magic items to finish Rylais because she is so squishy. I typically don't build Zhonya on Cass unless the other team is all AD (which was your second game).

For the first game, it does seem that you needed magic resistance for the Brand. After completing Rylais, I would buy a null-magic mantle (to go into Banshees or GA later) and continue to my other mage items (unless she is really taking a lot of damage from Brand)- so basically buying the null-magic mantle and then prioritizing her damage items.

I don't think Deathcap should be your second item. It should have been Morello or Voidstaff. The CD from Morello is really important for your DPS on your Q. It also provides additional mana. Usually Morello and Void Staff are my 2nd and 3rd items (or 3rd/2nd, depending on how we're doing), and then Deathcap comes after that.

Otherwise, can't give you advice on how you played her as we can't see your techniques, etc.
