It's true, she loses her E spam, which is at the core of her gameplay, but I think she does have her identity reinforced as a poison mage, which was the goal of this rework. In the end, "ticking someone down" and "blasting them with dps" is the exact same thing, since you're just dealing tons of damage to your target over a period of time. One of the things I wanted to do in this rework was to compress all of Cass's DPS and DoTs into a single unified poison, which would allow her to deal similar amounts of damage over time and finish off enemies quickly.
