@Meddler and Balance Team Positive 6.9 Chnages

This is just my opinion about the 6.9 changes. I feel like there is a lot of threads about what is bad about 6.9 and nothing about what was accomplished and positive.

Changes to Champions:

Zyra: I love the changes to Zyra. She might be a little too strong and needs to have her numbers fine tuned a little bit, but for the most part Zyra feels like a plant wielding mage now. Zyra's new passive is very useful and allows her to spawn more plants. I think it is fair that they die quick and don't last long. Even with the passive on her W, the plants still die quickly. Being able to summon tons of plants really fits Zyra and is a ton of fun.

• Zyra does need to have her damage from plants reduced slightly. It seems like she is doing a little too much damage.

Cass: I am for the most part really liking the changes to Cass. I know there are many players out there that will say, "she needs to be a more poison like mage and utilize poison more." I do not agree with this though. Cass is a champion that relies on using her poisons and abilities to dwindle her opponents health and then go in for the kill. Cass's new passive allows her to move freely on or away from enemies to kill them or get away. The passive is much better than her old one and gives her the speed she needs to kite and chase enemies.

• Cass does seem a little underpowered so maybe adjusting her numbers a little bit will help.

Swain: Surprisingly I am really liking the changes to Beatrice. Swain still needs a lot of work but the changes to his abilities are a step in the right direction.

• He is almost impossible to kill now though. It might be because of the new items.

Items:

Athene's Unholy Grail: Since I mostly player champions that use shields, I don't mind this change at all. It's fun to have something new to play around with on specific champions.
