dont do strange letter combinations, what are you talking about?

I don't really think Malz is that strong. I don't have a lot of problems with him usually I have seen quite a few...*static* cassopeia's who were *static* my ass. That's when I decided to try her out. She's *static*

*Strong suspicion that you were playing Caitlyn and/or the Malz was awful*

The "Secret Society of Cassiopeia Players", hence: SSoCP.

Cassiopeia is very strong, but smart play can still overwhelm her.

Off the top of my head I can think of three methods to counter Cassiopeia mid.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1. Boots + 3 pot, flash + ignite, hyper burst champion. Basically LeBlanc, Annie, Garen, etc. Just derp around dodging q's for the first 5 levels and obliterate her at level 6. You know the drill. Flash tibbers. LeBlanc's q r. Garen flash silence spin ulti dead. The idea is to get level 6 before Cass (push push push).

2. Bait the jungle gank. She's probably one of the easiest mid champions to gank early on. If I had to list reasons why.... man, the list would be pretty extensive. Cass has such crappy mana but loves to harass, resulting in no freaking mana to defend herself with. Cass's harass and killing blow literally requires her to move into bad positioning all the time. Cass doesn't actually have the instant kill from 100% mechanic of other mages, giving the gank partner an opportunity to counterstrike (this is also why she needs to harass all the time). Etc. etc. etc. Long story short, she's really easy to gank before she's level 6.

4. Play champions that harass more than she can. Riven is especially good at this. Renekton too. Talon as well. Basically if she ever comes within range, just smack her around a bit. The key is to do more damage than she will do to you. I guarantee you that if you're packing full AD on Renekton and you reduce Cassiopeia to half health at level 2, she won't ever try to do anything to you for the rest of the laning phase.

Even though I make it sound like she's so weak, she still really isn't. Malz is a technically superior champion but Malz is so freaking easy to counter. Buy QSS. Play Veigar. GG Malzahar. Fighting Cass actually requires a lot more effort. She combines the irritating harass of Karthus with quite a lot of the damage potential of Malz.

This basically translates to: Cass is like Urgot, Lee Sin, Orianna, and Gragas. These are champions which can only be countered by being a better player. Which can make things quite frustrating. The phrase "what the fuck am I supposed to do?!" comes to mind.

Is it just me or does every tryndamere think he is the shit? Once on my team, once on my enemies.

Slightly on-topic, all I know about Cass. is that she hurts like hell and I am absolutely horrible at dodging her attacks.

Because not only do they require rage, they feed on the rage of others.

The most trouble I've ever come under is fighting kayle actually. I cannot for the life of me tell where her model is, so I keep missing my Qs. But I usually win about 90% of the time in mid as cass. Ganks are her worst enemy, just constantly harass her. And NEVER EVER stand beside minions.

Jungle Cass is one of my favourite things to do aswell now.

Trynd is like Kat, an easymode champ that stomps all over kids but can't do anything against people that know what they're doing.  Since most of LoL's playerbase is the former, they get a superiority complex and start thinking they're hotshotgg.

The other problem shows up when they fight the latter.  Since they're super pro and unbeatable, if they're getting shutdown it's obviously your fault, which is why ever Katarina and Tryndamere ends a lost game with "bg noob team"

The one on my team ended with that on a winning game.

Class act, huh?

It's LoL. We don't have class.

[Dakk]

Rageamere is canon, its the only way to play trynd.

[Micro102]

Don't play at 4-6 AM GTM, filled with the biggest losers and trolls in the world.

[Pandarsenic]

Buy QSS.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Play Veigar.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

GG Malzahar.

CCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK

Don't tell them!

[Cthulhu]

I decided I don't like Cass after all.

It may have to do with getting completely shut down in a lane against Lux.  Too twitchy to hit with my spells, did more damage (y u lie to me Bay12 Strategies?), couldn't handle her until later when I started catching up.

It may also have to do with trying Malzahar again after a long hiatus and doing way better.

[Ahra]

... i have had an ridiculus bad time: 12 losses, one fricking win
