Now that it's been a little more than a week since hot fix/patch 6.10, what are your thoughts about her new kit/mechanics, etc?
Personally, her rework kit has been better with the update, but I still prefer the mechanics of her old kit. I think Miasma functioned better as a growing cloud/circle of poison and I still wish we had Twin Fangs 0.5 sec poison reset mechanic, but I do love the fact that Noxious Blast deals more damage now.
By old kit, do you mean Deadly Cadence or do you mean that abortion called Aspect of the Serpent?
I asked my friend who plays cassio quite frequently and he said she feels better. But still clunky to use. If your used to the old cassio its odd but if your just picking her up you might not feel the same way. Shes in an okay spot where her late game is super strong (because she doesnt need to buy boots) so if you can make it to that point shes definatley a threat
She's a tad easier to play, but thankfully no so much that she's still not pretty challenging. Her W is actually really good in some situations, but the fact that it doesn't give vision anymore means you have to play more carefully. You also don't have it to use as self peel when someone's already on top of you, so you might want a rylai's to permaslow someone off you.
You can max Q now, if you wish. The base damage is decent and the movespeed is quite significant now. As for her E, on champion.gg Cassiopeia has a much higher WR with scaling CDR blues in her runes. Maybe try tear into Abyssal's against an AP champ with scaling CDR blues in your rune set up? You can also get a decent amount of CDR incidentally from Abyssal's, Zhonya's, etc. But honestly, I still wouldn't actively prioritize CDR, it's not necessary.
I don't like her new passive very much, it keeps her just a little to slow for too long, but at least it's not the stacking, snowballing abomination of her Shurima rework. And there's luden's if you can make it fit into your build.

She's fine ... although her early level Q mana costs are still too high and should be similar to her E costs. Her W works beautifully if you know how to use it and her E without that stupid 5s CD is awesome.

No, not really. The growth was too slow and the initial pool too tiny to be any kind of a zoning tool. The only thing that will be missed is the vision that it gave, otherwise it's rather inferior compared to her new W.

Any particular reason why? It was awful since it's already hard to see in full teamfights who is poisoned and who is not... it was a liability that made her unreliable. Not to mention target switching was pain, unlike now. Her new E is way more consistent and also in return gives you consistent DPS and doesn't randomly make you useless in a middle of the fight.
Not sure why you people want to keep such annoying mechanics when RITO dumps new champs with point-and-click stuff + tons of mobility and whatnot, which would make her even more useless in that regard.
Ironically it's better now since it can go even lower than 0.5s, at ALL times ... not just when people are poisoned. But I seem to understand why you think this way, since you are not running proper runes / masteries for her ... and you are building her weird; Morello alone as a mana item is not enough, you need either Tear or Catalyst.
Just practice more and you will see that she's fine.
