![]() ![]() This leaves her extremely weak as she cannot bring Cleanse, Ghost, or Ignite, all of which offer more use in a lane or fight than Teleport does. She also is forced to take Teleport as one of her summoner spells. She’s not going to do anything significant in the game until this point if she is in top lane. She also requires extensive time to power up, about fifteen minutes to get Tear of the Goddess/Archangel's Staff fully stacked after the tear is purchased. She has minimal self-peel to keep people from running her down in a lane. She is a relatively low mobility caster, causing her to fall prey to early jungle pressure, especially in the long side lanes. In my opinion, I don’t think Cassiopeia should be played as a top laner. Where does Cassiopeia fall in the Top Lane tier list? The Cassiopeia was given to Huni in the top lane which was a rather unexpected pick but was clearly premeditated by Fnatic. Dyrus picks Gnar during the first red side rotation, and Fnatic picks up LeBlanc in their second rotation and Cassiopeia in their second rotation. This introduces an interesting situation where both top laners have very few champions to fall back on, none of which would be comfort picks unless they had prepared for this situation. Fnatic banned out Maokai, Lulu, and Sion with TSM banning Rumble, Hecarim and Vladimir away from Huni. All six bans where targeted at the top laners. The first game of the weekend played between Team Solomid and Fnatic is a perfect example of this. At the Mid-Season Invitational we saw some interesting focus on the Top Lane.
