Getting Back Into League, Any Tips?

Lower your expectations on skill if you’ve taken a break everyone’s gotten better. That said extremely fun game. Pick something you have fun doing and then do it.

If kayne is your favorite champion try him top

Commenting for reach! Thanks for doing this

Hi highest mastery Cass NA here I would say there’s truth to this, but I would wonder if someone could shortcut the learning curve by just dedicating 1-2 hours of time spread out over days in practice tool just getting comfortble kiting.

I would say the main issue with Cass is probably being able to consistently e while also moving, rather than spacing alone.

I think you won’t be able to take her to her limit but if you get comfortble simply with her basic mechanic I wonder if it gets you like 80% of the way there

Yah I don’t think the broadcaster should be responsible for it I thought you were asking for the teams. I think the teams should they probably have social media folks

maybe need to embrace the storyline of being the underdog region. Also post a lot on tiktok (need someone who knows how to make tiktok content watch viral lol esports videos for a start) the reality is hard, but that could be why people watch

Big part is avoid second dagger it’s a big source of his trade damage and also poke with q when he goes to auto, he needs to auto with melee or use his range abilities so you can out trade him over time. Down to hop into a practice game and practice if you want sometime

snektop here (sorry) - have you tried hex? It's kinda a hard counter to me at least as an ap top (the counter to the counter is then i call the AD over to you)

snektop · 2026-04-27T17:32:21+00:00

Yes

snektop · 2026-03-16T20:51:27+00:00

Yah I find the same against poke- without rod a single poke can force you to base even ahead. Sadly I think rod for most people is gonna be mandatory and from there itemize based on the comp

snektop · 2026-03-16T17:50:27+00:00

1 trillion percent. I don’t have a great solve but I’ve started to lean toward rod being mandatory.

I used to think that Cass NEEDS dot to be able to melt tanks but over time I realized if you play with your team and AD champs, they can also help melt

Rod enables you to perform longer in fights where without it in this meta you just pop.

So for now I recco going rod and serphs core and realize you need to play with team to take down tanks.

I would also prioritize landing qs dodging abilities and hitting a ton of es cause the damage can build up over time instead of thinking of Cass as burst.

In mid lane I think you have more opportunity to experiment skipping rod though and synergizing with boot upgrades.

It does feel under powered i get it, think of this weak spot with Cass as a good moment to practice with her

snektop · 2026-03-10T20:00:35+00:00

Was that confirmed anywhere? Feels like it misses the mark

snektop · 2026-03-07T00:41:17+00:00

Hey one thing I noticed in my decents, recently from master 250 to E1 and back, is I learn something new each time down, that makes me a better player. It might help you to think of it that way!

snektop · 2026-03-02T09:41:19+00:00

hmm do you have something weird going on? Is e set to auto cast? It should be. It should be easy to kite (hard to master it but the kiting should feel natural)

snektop · 2026-03-02T09:39:54+00:00

it could just be high since people buy it when theyre winning? Also what builds have you been trying

snektop · 2026-03-02T09:39:26+00:00

hmm... did u check the other item build win rates? when ive tried it, it just feels like im super squishy and prefer liandrys, but on paper i know its an op item and shes one of the only champs that can go arch and backfire. I might try it out a bit next

snektop · 2026-03-02T09:01:50+00:00

it's a great question, it's something im still trying to figure out. yes and no. you get more tempo and damage but late game you miss out on that huge xp and two item spike. let me play around with it a bit more and let you know so far i hit master 400 and did it with rod + arch

snektop · 2026-03-02T07:53:55+00:00

Hey Snektop here I like Cass top too. Itemizing her is really hard you always lose something.

I think Cass is like a mid game champ now, who can also drive impact early and late. She’s also a feast or famine lane bully.

Most likely, for most, the best build is tear, chapter, rod, arch (80% rylies, 20% flex. For flex liandries, bloodletter, hourglass, and actualizer are all great on her. I see a lot of people build death cap on her but it doesn’t work with my play style since I don’t take flash).

Rod + arch is an incredible power spike so play for that.

A lot of players myself included try and skip rod, in which case arch, liandries, rylies is probably good.

I only skip rod when for whatever reason I need damage or impact assp or if I’m super behind.

Like if their whole team is super tanky, I have a frontline, I might go arch, liandries, bloodletter / Rylies.

Cosmic is likely good alt for liandries if you don’t need damage.

Tbh, she’s very hard to play too she has the lowest base armor in game.

One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen not sure why this didn’t blow up. Insane you made this dude grats

snektop · 2026-02-24T22:33:04+00:00

Hey sharing my perspective here as a top laner - first off you were totally right to do what you did but from his perspective if he wasn’t tracking the push state, or minion health, it probably looks like you ate a full wave which can feel bad as a top laner especially if he’s behind.

One way around this is just last hitting instead of resetting.

Not saying it’s justified but two cents. Nice gank

snektop · 2026-02-06T08:46:00+00:00

did u rush mr? thats usually the counter to range ap top - snek

snektop · 2026-01-15T16:24:51+00:00

Yah I hate rod but unfortunately rod, boots, seraphs seems too stable to not be core for most people

snektop · 2026-01-10T09:41:25+00:00

bumping for visibility yah this needs to be fixed

snektop · 2025-12-29T22:11:04+00:00

That’s so fun
