I'm no Cass main or anything, but when I started holding my ult and using it later in a fight instead of engaging with it, I had better success.

Unless I can easily get a stun off to engage I hold it, wait till they engage with me a bit before I hit R. I've noticed it's much more likely they are worried more about hitting their abilities than turning around to avoid being stunned in the middle of a fight.

The range on the W is kind of weird to get used to, IMO, but it's a solid way to wave clear.

The champ has grown on me in the past few months or so. I still don't 5v5 team fight as well as I want with her.

I've found success playing her like you would an adc.

Position well and just hammer the closest target.

Unless it's an obvious engage situation, I've been holding my ult to peel for my teammates on the back line with me.

Yeah.

From what people say, she's mechanically intensive, which I can see. However, her game plan is pretty straightforward. Land your Q, engage. Don't land your Q, wait for your Q to come back up and try again

Lane is going to be about managing your mana and knowing when you have the mana and damage to all-in your lane. You hit a pretty big power spike right now at AA and you stack it really quick. Landing Qs in lane is all about waiting for a last hit and dropping it. That's pretty much it. She isn't as hard to pick up as people say but her skill ceiling is really high. The higher up you get the harder its going to be to keep poison on people and self peel. I like getting to 40% CDR if possible for the E dps but not all cass mains do that. I also still occasionally build Rylai's which is not very popular but it makes peeling/chasing really easy. When you play top lane cass with rylais some champs cant even touch you.

Season 9 Ranked Changes LINK


New rewards, season changing to 3 splits (rank does not reset), new placement system, 2 tiers added to rank and from 5 divisions to 4 each.


The big change:

quote:

Matchmaking should be as fair as possible, period. We want the system to reward going deep on one position, but we also want to recognize hardcore players who choose to master several positions. To that end, we’re making some big changes to our matchmaker. Next season, Ranked Solo/Duo will be outfitted with positional matchmaking, which is a fancy way of saying we’ll find opponents for you based on your skill in the position you’re playing.

Just purposefully dodged my first game. One of my teammates picked Aatrox JG, Trundle Supp, Raka mid, and Renek top. On top of flaming because someone banned Yas from the top laner.

That triggered me hard.

As my teammates can attest, I learned this very quickly . Can't tell you how many times I've been 1 E away from a kill and I'm out of mana before my first back.

This made itself obvious after the first few games. I take manaflow band as well, so after that first back, I don't have mana issues for the rest of the game.

quote:

How do you get to 40%? The AA gives you 20% and you can nab the additional 10% via transcendence. After that, I don't see any items that I'd normally build on her that give me the additional 10, other than Zhonyas. But I'm not building that til much later, and usually not at all.

quote:

It's incredibly popular from what I've seen. It's the second item in nearly every build path I see out there.

This is exclusively where I've played her thus far. I feel like people underestimate her damage severely. Jayce has been the only problem match up for me so far.

Honestly, the only unreasonable pick the is Soraka, imo.

But yeah, when shite like that happens, dodging is the way to go. Only hurts you if it happens again right after, then you're just stuck playing it.

This sounds dreadful. So basically if the mid lane is high gold and the bot Lanes are low silver it's going to be which mid lane can feed on the bot Lane hardest?

I think it's more, if you are a mid gold adc main, when you play adc you play at mid gold elo.

When you get autofilled top, you would play at high silver/low gold elo, and everyone on both teams would be in that elo.

Also, I think you get a rank for each role you play. So you could be gold at mid, silver sup, and a bronze jg. And the ranks are separated depending on what you queue for. That's just how I interpreted it.

I'm going to be honest here, I don't like the changes. At least at first...

It seems they are trying to make it too complicated.. It may just be me though.

My initial ranked goal was Gold 5. I told myself I would get there, regardless of how long it took, and just throw ranked out the window.

Got bored with norms playing by myself a couple months ago so I played a few ranked games, kept winning 2-3 for every loss, so I decided to just press on, not really expecting much.

Fast forward, hit Plat 5 this morning after winning my promos 3-2, playing 3 different roles for each of the wins.

Feels good to get one on the game sometimes.
