So the Cassiopeia nerfs went through.

PFFFFFT. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-HAAAH HA!

Oh, man. I told you about this, Rito. I told you if these nerfs went through no one would play Cassiopeia. You know, because she's not fun, thus when she's not overtuned and/or powerful, there's no reason to play her at all. (Not to say I think she'll be too weak, I'm not sure, but my point still stands people play her for her power rather than having a fun kit) I was EXTREMELY fair with Riot Stashu through this whole mess of a rework. I never ONCE showed any hostility and/or rudeness until he lied. He said he was continuing work on Cassiopeia... and he never did. And he never will. He'll just keep his crappy design and try to balance it- which is impossible because of how binary Cassiopeia has become. I don't know what's worse- this rework, or how YOU, Riot, as a whole, let this garbage get through.

Cuz, ya see Riot, when you shove a champ's entire power into one ability and an inflating, snowballing passive, they tend to be kind of binary. Not to mention that even if they weren't binary that's just bad design in general. Look, Cassiopeia was one of the more versatile champions in League before when it came to ability maxing/playstyle. She could max Q and play more of a poke/zoning mage, or she could max E and play more all-in DPS mage. And you know what you did? You completely axed the viability of her poke patterns and her all-in patterns were not enhanced at all. No, more powerful does not mean better design, more powerful does not mean more fun and engaging.

An cool character, an iconic mage, gutted of her unique gameplay patterns and thematics for the sake of Riot Stashu's incompetence. There's no bigger joke than that.

I'm not even angry at this point. It's just fucking hilarious. But I still hope when literally no one plays her after these nerfs that you guys will finally admit your mistakes and just undo this disaster of a "Rework."

I say you're dumb.. because she's been buffed by luden's echo topped with the new super strong abyssal scepter... just cuz they nerfed her abilities doesnt mean they nerfed her buildpath.... and lets be honest she hasnt had as broken of an item as ludens for her in the passed.. and i mean it charges a ludens proc for 200 aoe damage every like idk 1 second on cassiopeia?

plus abyssal scepter is stronger for both damage and resistance and is a favored item of most korean challengers to rush on most everything but it suits cassio more than anyone...

plus seraphs is still a thing....... and zhonyas is a thing... and void is a thing.. i mean there is so many ways to build her so that she does ridiculous damage and you're crying about nothing...

Like tear abyssal seraphs rylais liandries voidstaff/ludens depending at 500 stacks and you cant die...

Power is just one thing- honestly kind of irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

I'm not mad because she won't or wouldn't be strong enough, I'm angry because the design they gave her was terrible.

And if you read the whole post that would be clear.

what is the point of the post then... lol this is about gameplay and balance not about someone crying cuz they dont agree with a design lol...

you should be here to talk about her strengths and weaknesses and her power which you wouldn't even know about cuz instead of checking it out you cry about it 10 minutes after the patch lol...

These are the Gameplay and Balance boards, yes. Gameplay is what it's like playing this game which encompassess, you know, champion design. At least it certainly includes what's it like to play a champ in game, which in Cassi's case is awful because she's binary and forced into spamming twin fangs for no reason. And her passive is a big ball of stats, which Riot says they don't like.

I've played three games of Hexakill this patch. Yes, Hexakill isn't a good indicator of balance, but I have played.

I've played Cassiopeia last patch. I don't need to play her this patch first day to know her passive is a ball of stats, her E has all her kit's power, and that she's still not fun. Why would that change?

Sigh. I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be mean or condescending, but literally every post is everyone defending her power when her power isn't even what the issue is.

Meh... she's still just fine though.
