"While her sister Katarina has always been the most celebrated member of the household, the Du Couteau family has a long history of service to Noxus. It has often been said that no soldier has ever been as fortunate as General Du Couteau to have been graced with daughters. His youngest, Cassiopeia - despite lacking her sister's killer instincts - was equally renowned in court for her stately character and elegance. Cunning as she was beautiful, the temptress could never be found far from the arm of any foreign dignitary, her wiles prying secrets from the lips of even the most wary attached. With the Noxian barbarian pacification campaign having ground to a standstill, Cassiopeia had set her sights on a diplomat from a tribe of the Freljord region. Thinking him an easy mark, the scheming seductress set about beguiling him. He refused to confide in her, however, until she swore an oath of secrecy upon his sword - a strange weapon with a serpentine curve to the blade. Once her tryst was over, Cassiopeia provisioned her father with information regarding the barbarian resistance. As she divulged this intelligence, a wave of revulsion washed over her. She screamed in agony as her silky skin hardened to scales, her lustrous hair thickened to leather, and her manicured fingernails sharpened to claws. Dazed, she fell upon a group of horrified servants, rending them limb from limb in a heartbeat. When it was over the blood soaked figure was no longer the ravishing jewel of the Noxian court, but a horror trapped somewhere between woman and serpent. Unable to serve in her traditional capacity, Cassiopeia departed for the League, continuing her service to Noxus on the Fields of Justice.

Thanks for posting this!
That said, not really looking forward to this champ.
She seems pretty boring to me.
She's also squishy as fuck and if someone has an Oracle's, she's highly likely to get exploded when she goes in, even when fed. (She might kill a dude still, but she ain't getting out is what I'm saying.)
No, cuz it's like, 'oh look, there's Akali! oh fuck it's rammus from behind us. shitshitshit run. oh right we can't run cuz it's akali. turn around and fiOHWHENDIDISUDDENLYBECOMEDEAD'
She melts people so damn fast you'd have to get some CC on her to give your carries time to take her out, and good luck doing that at long range when she's hiding in her cloud.
She's not even all that squishy, depending on the build. If she goes Rageblade/Gunblade she'll have the spell vamp to keep her life up, if she goes Rylai's she has a decent sized life pool, if she snowballs Leviathan (only seen that once; probably has dubious effectiveness for it's cost) she has a decent life pool +15% damae reduction.

I don't want to quote OremLK here, but if you let Rammus get behind you *and* Fiddlesticks ulted in you fucked up.
I suspect he's being poetic.
The point is, she really can pretty much engage and disengage at will, even when there's an oracle involved.
Sometimes in inhib-turret push-attempt situations I'll bink a squishy for half their life then flash out just to be a dick. Gotta make sure those casters know who's boss, you know?

...What fiddles?
They came in for dragon as Akali was doing it. I powerballed in from mid, rest of the team came in from blue. I think most of the enemies were dead by the time they got there though.
Morde beats malphite easy 1v1. That is not a good match for malphite. Morse simply needs to keep his shield charged (which is stupid easy and he malphite will simply waste his mana. trust me, I've done this one a lot.

I am pretty sure Slicer ridiculed me for buying a zeal : (
Akali with health and resistances is still going to get killed really quickly by a team with oracle's and any burst damage at all. Lifesteal definitely won't matter most of the time.

I wasn't criticizing! I was genuinely wondering why you got one on Sona. I find the idea pretty amusing in fact, especially since we were winning so hard.
It takes something special to kill Akali in laning phase. Smokebomb is a very, very strong getaway tool and ganks generally won't do the trick. Only time I've ever been shut down was by a very, very, very good shen + pantheon premade.

I kill Akali on ganks somewhat regularly as Amumu, but he obviously has the tools for it.

YES, AN OP CHAMP LIKE MUMU CAN PROBABLY KILL AKALI PRE-6 WITH GREAT EASE. :P

I go to ward their blue and walk into a murderbush of all five of them with my team nearbye.

Spent most of the game killing towers and controlling Dragon instead of teamfighting. I don't think I let Udyr get one Dragon that game.

Well-timed CC still does the trick, but yeah, Shroud does make it difficult to keep her down too much before 6. It's really the best time to be aggressive against her though.

4v5 after a shitty Blitz qq'd. And we scored 3 Aces anyway before we finally had to surrender because Yi & Ryze couldn't figure out how to not get ganked.
One of the Aces was me Reviving and running down a low Ashe and low EZ.

I ulted you once too when you were about to die. Got you 2 kills. I had to give up the Teemo kill tho. Oh well. Not one of us died.
to be honest with the changes to pantheon I dunno if I can play this game any more.
Any time i play him he feels like shit, to me these are still nerfs. Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I always have no mana, and the combo feels week as fuck even with rank 2 and three there.

Apparently attack speed is like a real build and stuff. But I think most just do AP yeah. Rylai's is a common item for Kennen I think since he can just kite people around really easily with his E and the slow.

Akali vs Morde question. If she throws down the smoke and I hit my shield o' spinning metal goodness, is she still taking that damage while invisible? Before I could afford an oracle it seemed the best counter I could think of early on.

What has changed about your mana usage? And have you tried spear 1 rank max heartseeker? Vary your style brah!
Just played my first ranked game in quite awhile. It was extremely close, they managed to get a Baron on us late game, like we knew they were there and stuff but did not go in on them quick enough. Any team with Kog'Maw just melts it ridiculously fast and our tank I guess underestimated the speed at which they could DPS it and didn't init quite in time.
So we turtled and held them off at our base and they didn't manage to knock down our mid tower. Then we just poked around and got some ganks and won a couple teamfights after their buff dropped, got Baron when it respawned, pushed, and won.
I didn't play a great Warwick game, but it wasn't bad. Had a great early game, made some bad decisions and failganks midgame, then got it back together late game to an extent. Since it was close, I can honestly say they if I had played any worse we probably would have lost, so there you go, one more piece of evidence that there are plenty of games where you do make the difference between winning and losing in solo queue ranked.
That said, I didn't play well enough to carry the game or anything. I'd call it an average game for me. Our Akali and Miss Fortune carried the team.

Akali will still take damage as normal if she wasn't stealth. You can use both your Siphon and your "spinning metal goodness" and she'll take damage. Be careful wandering into the cloud. It's what she wants you to do when your shield is low. She hits really hard.

I'mma probably love Cassiopeia. That skillset sounds pretty fun (even if it seems franken-skill-y).
She's obviously teemo's waifu, as the expression goes.
she was designed by the guy who designed anivia wasn't she?

Attack her head on, she stuns you, nukes you to hell, poisons you further, and starts hitting you with a fast recharging attack.
Try to run away? You get slowed, nuked to hell and poisoned while she speeds up and hits you with a fast recharging attack.
All the while her combo reduces her mana costs so she can keep it up til you're dead.
It may be pretty cool.
(i'm the one playing her)

you can never have too much move speed.
How incredibly appropriate.
Ideally you just kill her a bunch of times in the lane before she's level 6 and then she is super underleveled and useless in the mid to late game.
Although I suppose that can't always happen. But Akali is so very weak before 6.
Anyway, winning streak: Broken
I guess.
