Let's see how many more images we can get in here.

were is olaf?

DUDE BRO7 votes

With the right builds olaf can still wreck house. He's just outshadowed by better champs. Cass on the otherhand was superly nerfed across the board, and there aren't many champs that have a similar playstyle, but she's just flat out not fun anymore.

i tried cass when she was free, she seems pretty fun to me

urgot is fine though… he can own a lot of the laners and his W+Q combo really hurts imo

That moment when you realize Urgot is in a better spot than Cassiopeia.

I already miss her old design, here's one of Iron Stylus' artworks portraying the dear snakelady. Would it have been too much work to make a traditional skin for her or simply upgrade her graphics while keeping the original design intact?

Not only did they kill her gameplaywise, they even went as far to destroy her entire look. I weep for those who used to love her Desperada skin.

And eviscerate her lore. =\

4.16 was vicious in what it took and light in what it gave.

As a non-Cassiopeia player I think the rework was amazing. Now laning against Cassiopeia is 100% easier and requires almost no skill on my part :)

Your sacrifice will be remembered Stashu. May the Cassiopeia players give you a swift and painless death.

I feel for you Canastus. I'd hate it if a champ I loved got destroyed like that. I feel sorry for the Olaf players, the Skarner players and now for you.

Don't forget the original Karma players.

at least they made a traditional karma skin.

OyddAWqJ5r3 votes

That looks nothing like original Karma :(

But it's okay, the real Karma's image is forever burned into my memory. The great shields we once made.

...but I love new karma!

When someone is dealing damage without being in combat something is significanlty anti-fun about playing against that champion Cassiopeia Teemo

Serpents Embrace16 votes

Yes. Compare Cassiopeia's Q range to a trap that can be placed anywhere on the map.

So similar.

Creamy Seaman2 votes

800 range 0 skill to land slow that deals a fuck ton of damage over time.

Either you've never played Cass or you're saying this with the sole intent to strike a nerve. :\

Creamy Seaman3 votes

UHHHHH..... UUUUUUHh...WUT DID YOU JUST SAY? To a former cass main as well. She's better than she was before her rework.

Serpents Embrace12 votes

....

Very funny. If you're going to post on the boards, Stashu, at least do it on your red account and put work in to trying to fix your mess.

Are you shitting me. They've destroyed her lane and made her into absolute shit for the first 30 minutes of the game. Her playstyle is completely unbalanced and doesn't fit in with her champion concept at all. Even Riot admits that.

Instead of Riot fixing the scripting/cheating etc BoL, they rather just gut Cassiopeia.

Scripting was too obvious on her and Riot cannot have it exposed that such cheating has been going in their games for a very long time.

When a champion's playstyle can be compared to Urgot, you know something's wrong.

Trundle was gutted to hell though, he's just not a meta pick.

I present to you, the newest entry in the line of Cassiopeia skins: Rotten Carcass.

I feel the same way about Rengar

Honestly, the only issue I have right now is her god-awful passive. It makes her early game so tedious and boring. There are plenty of ways Riot could address this issue, but they decided to tie an anchor to her and watch her drown for the first half hour of the game.

Serpents Embrace7 votes

The fact that her Q, W and R deal a small fraction of what they used to doesn't phase you at all? :\

Hyrum Graff1 votes

That's a balance issue, not a design issue. Cass is clearly UP in her current state. I they could simply buff her numbers and make her balanced, but that wouldn't fix her playstyle issues. If she's fun to play and healthy for the game, then it's easy enough to tweak numbers until she's balanced.

ImpendingDeath2 votes

I didn't realize they slashed her damage that much. What the hell?!

Canastus2 votes

She's disgustingly underpowered, all thanks to that godawful passive. And yet Stashu refuses to get rid of it, no matter how many people beg him to do so. This is among the worst managements any rework could have recieved, he singlehandely destroyed this champion just to let her rot for several months before taking up the discussion again.

Except she's not trash after the rework... her numbers don't reflect that (esp given her learning difficulty) and people have been reporting some success with her at higher level gameplay. Hate her passive? sure. Boring? possibly, yes. Is the lane bully excuse off? certainly (she's just been positioned to the other side of the coin). But stop saying she's weak. I know, it would be a lot easier to get support if she also happened to be trash tier, but she's not really. And repeating this assumption is only making us sound like an echo chamber.

poor them.Karma EvelynnCassiopeia . there never played

So even though she was not a style that was enjoyed by all, she was eventually buffed into a viable state. They quickly corrected that, incoming nerfs next patch. Expect to run out of mana by breathing now.

They don't seem to understand that the base stat rework was enough of a massive nerf to mana. And by "enough" I mean completely unnecessary and insanely overkill.
