Positioning isnt about aiming abilities.. its about being in the right place to do your job in a fight without dying. For example, Anivia needs to position well to not die whilst keeping her R up and repeatedly using E to output her DPS. ADC's are arguably the champions positioning is most important on, as they usually build almost pure glass cannon. If they're out of position for more than a few seconds they just die (at lest at high elo), but they have to build like that to do their job. Whilst this isnt a strict rule, a number of ADC's dont have to aim at all to be effective (Twitch and Vayne spring to mind) yet positioning on those champs is even more crucial in some cases.

So, apart from your flawed understanding of positioning, lets move on to Cassiopeia herself. Weak early game is fairly relative, her level 2 trades are actually very good. You hit Q, you E once or twice to proc thunderlords, you back off. Rinse + repeat. Ofc theres a little more to it than that, and certain enemies you dont want to try that against (Hi Leblanc) but on the whole that little trade does a hell of a lot of damage and doesnt cost you all that much at all, probably between 1/4 and 1/3 of your mana pool, but with a dorans and correct CSing its not an issue, and if they do trade back your E was actually healing through all that (not a lot, but enough that you almost certainly win the trade unless they have their own damage mitigation or healing, prime examples being Viktor and Ahri)

Saying she falls off at level 6 because she's slow is just weird, never once have i felt behind my opponents in terms of MS on Cass. She has enough that even if someone finishes boots early she can keep relatively close, and her Q MS is also super effective.

Late game potential is amazing, and she does actually get to it fairly consistently, at least in my experience. Games dont tend to be that short and its pretty hard to push into Cass (W+Q makes her anti-siege pretty effective, whilst she's no Viktor or Anivia she can do it)

If she excels in high elo and is doing well in low elo then she is probably a bit above the curve, lets be honest here.
