u need gold to get extra item, so u have to earn it, just like one would have to earn stacks for her passive. and again, +30%ap, 25%cd reduc, and the heal are very significant, and her e being easier to hit doesn't really mean anything when the potential damage on it has been reduced. and, in fact, to use it effectively on the new cass, its very similar to current cass. on current cass, u need to poison an enemy and hit with e to get 0.5 second cd. on new cass, u need to poison enemy and hit with e to get full damage and the heal. a reduction in potential damage from 55% AP per 0.5 second to 45% AP per 0.9 second is more significant than u think. 10% reduced ap scaling can go a long way, not to mention that 0.5 seconds is about half of 0.9 seconds, so dps is reduced too. sure the base damage on new e is about 100 more, but again, it has 10% less scaling and double the potential cd, which overshadows that concept. also, w being hard to hit is very relevant. I don't care how good u are, landing a W on a zed who is within the w range and is currently dashing at u is impossible. her w, as I see it, is more for just closing off areas to escape from. even then, its situational, and there are more than enough people who can just dash through a wall if the w closes off a path.
