It’s unclear whether by accident or design, but Riot Games continues to allow “unstoppable” compositions like Vanguard/Guardian – Mystery to dominate in version 10.12. With the addition of Cassiopeia, this composition has completely overcome its late-game damage drop-off weakness, becoming an unbeatable tank.
Therefore, in their latest updates, Riot Games has introduced some noteworthy adjustments targeting Mystery and Cassiopeia herself. All these changes aim to reduce the safety of this champion and give opponents more chances to penetrate the backline and counter Cassiopeia. Specific changes include:
