Sheen.

... then you kinda make poo poo up and see what works.

I tend to rush Sheen, and then depending on how the lane is going, vamp scepter, see if its more convenient to rush Triforce or Hydra, Merc Treads, Gunblade, GA.

I was reading Poppy's patch note history and I swear she must have the record for longest time without any changes. Or maybe fewest changes since release.

The last time she had a numbers change (other than the patch where everyone got a speed boost) was the start of season 1.

The only other functional non-bug-fix improvement she's received since then was when Lux was added in October 2010.

I just had a phone post evaporate, but he's been FOTM for longer than a month in pro scene, and even with that and all the coordinated compositions you can run with him, I think he's still a really hard thing to pull off successfully in solo queue.

Why not just build a bottle instead of a coin on lane Poppy? Drink from that poo poo to sustain your early lane and then build your core stuff (whatever that is on Poppy).

This. But she's actually a much better choice for jungle so take her there. Poppy ganks are actually really vicious and she can stay alive in the jungle pretty well barring Udyr/Lee Sin counterjungle fuckery.

Poppy builds?

Rush sheen + cutlass -> TF + Bork -> defensive item (BV/Randuins) -> Last Whisper somewhere in there jump on mans and kill their faces get fed and win.

LeBlanc is like the biggest example of a feast or famine champion except she also can't carry games so even if you get fed it's like a feast of ramen noodles without the flavour packets

Cass rework!

quote:

Aspect of the Serpent

Old passive: removed!
New passive: Cassiopeia gains a stack of Aspect of the Serpent for each second that an enemy champion is poisoned and for each poisoned unit that she kills. Her ability power is increased by 1% for every 25 stacks, up to a max of 375 stacks.
At 50 stacks, Twin Fang now heals Cassiopeia for 6/8/10/12/16 (+0.1 ability power)
At 150 stacks, Cassioepeia gains 30% CDR
At 375 stacks, the AP bonus from Aspect of the Serpent is doubled.

I need a better way to guarantee top or mid without having to pick into the blind unknown. Hiemer's awesome but he's got a few really bad matchups that just gently caress him over

Yeah, 30% CDR from 150 stacks seems absurd and it looks like it would be pretty easy to get that stack from just regularly CSing and harassing in lane. New Cass seems extremely brutal.

Yikes, looks like CassiOPeia is back in a big way then. I'll have to see the stacking in action to see when that 30% comes online but overall this is looking like a pretty threatening snake.

1% per 25 stacks, not per stack.

So 14% at 350 and 30% at 375.

It's +30%. She gets 1% for every 25 stacks, not a 1 to 1 ratio. Doubled when maxed out, but that's still an extra deathcap passive, on top of the 30% cdr

After another look the damage on Q and W are getting smashed, and even E is getting hit by a bit. And she's still completely immobile.

Looks like she would be perfect for having tear for her starting item. Morello and Athene's are out because they would take you over over the cap.

Shieeeet, getting to 40% CDR on just runes and passive or good god a blue buff. I want to build 3 Rod of Ages on her.

Oh, whoops, I misread it as 1% ap for every stack.

To be fair +60% AP is still pretty good.

I'm all for almost anything that gets Cassiopeia back in the game, but I really don't like the "Just throw numbers and passives on passives at her" approach when that's really not what her problem is. (There is no actual problem with Cass herself, it's the rest of the game leaving her behind. Which is not really solved by jacking up her numbers.)

What's wrong with further cementing her role as a lategame hypercarry by giving her a passive that becomes stronger the later the game goes but requiring you to put more effort into getting stronger early?

gently caress that, I still have flashbacks of my first time wanting to play midlane as Ryze into my friend's diamond 1 loving Cassiopeia. Wide eyes and man I got the American Ryze skin haha he's got dollar bills in his hand oh god dead at level 2, dead at 4, zoned for the rest of the lane. I don't think I've gotten my rear end that thoroughly kicked in League in a long time.
