Cassiopeia is currently a difficult/risky choice when the meta favors burst mages. She can only safely and effectively deal damage with tanks or melee champions as a barrier. She is very good at farming and in team fights (where oftentimes your enemies will be standing in your miasma field constantly taking dmg without even realizing it cause they're too distracted). But in duels and small skirmishes against champs with gap closers she is unlikely to win as she has little burst and no escape mechanisms minus her ult which she needs to use sparingly. But with all her weaknesses she is still very good at her job as long as she is safely able to deal damage with protection from teammates and with the right composition. Always get Liandry's and Magic Pen. Prioritize survivability over pure AP.
