Cassiopeia Rework...

P - "Cassiopeia gains Movement Speed per level, but she cannot purchase Boots items." Q - "Cassiopeia blasts an area with Poison after a brief delay, granting her increased Movement Speed if she hits an enemy champion."

W - "Cassiopeia releases several clouds of poison, lightly damaging and slowing any enemy that happens to pass through them. Enemies affected by this poison are Grounded, losing the ability to use Movement abilities." Repertoir on reddit: "It is intended to cover all blink, dash, and teleport type spells, including (but not limited to) Lucian E, Ezreal E, Summoner Flash, Bard Magical Journey, Thresh Dark Passage, and Summoner Teleport." Repertoir on reddit: "Aside from the addition of the Grounded debuff, the W you see on PBE in this build is NOT representative of the spell that she's going to ship with." E- "Cassiopeia lets loose an attack that deals increased damage to Poisoned targets and heals her for a percentage of the damage dealt. If the target dies from this attack, Cassiopeia regains Mana." [Bugged in today's update. Intended cooldown is 1 second.] R - "Cassiopeia releases a swirl of magical energy from her eyes, stunning any enemies in front of her that are facing her and slowing any others with their back turned."**

Giving a mage compensation for movement speed so they don't have to purchase boots is insane. Think about this, you could buy a lot of things that will either increase your damage significantly or some defense like GA. Another thing I would like to bring up is the W mobility counter. I could see this making her kind of like Lux. You land one spell and you get to dump on the enemy, if her E is similar to what it is now this will make her very dominant in all stages of the game. Looks cool, but seems overloaded. Still, I am excited to play her, not so much against her. Thinking about possible items to replace boots as well.

Here are some I am thinking about.

item 3026 item 3800 item 3100 item 3025 item 3042 item 3050 item 3222 item 2045

She already gets that.

Actually no, you usually don't build that.

Her current iteration already gets a free AP boost, and pellcamp, and CDR to the tune of more than what you can buy with one slot anyways so...

Honestly, I severely doubt that one item slot is really going to changer her that much compared to now.

A lot of people are happy about her getting a new passive...I feel like I'm the only one who actually likes her current passive. Also the fact that you can't spam your E is also good and bad at the same time...If the E's damage increases enough then it's fine to not be spam able and also since you aren't spamming E anymore, you wouldn't really have to buy item 3003 item 3027 on her. Though RoA might still be a core item on her since it's just really strong in general.

I do like what they're doing with the W though. Not having boots is interesting...though i'm not sure if that would hurt her since she can't get an early item 3020 anymore but her late game becomes stronger since she can go right into 6 items which I feel is a plus. I don't know, I guess we'll just have to see the numbers when they're released before making any serious discussion about it since it's still being worked on.

Leaves you room to buy a ga, it's really good super late game because she can be at an extra item advantage. It be better to get something for utility than damage as you should have plenty before then.
