Cass Qs you twice during the time you autoattack attack a creep to get back 9 mana.

Priceless.

It's a Passive that's out-classed by every single other mana-return component on other Champion skills (Annie Q, Malzahar and Karthus as well). It's completely useless in a teamfight, like completely useless. You will not whoop with joy as you get 9 mana returned from getting the killing blow of a champion. Meanwhile Karhus has 6 seconds + life time, Annie has a stun only limited by timing, and even Malzahar as a decent minion damaging and blocking skill shots.

Freaking KOG has a better passive than Swain does, and he only gets to use it after dying!
