his level1 and level2 play is just better. Don't look forward to trading him unless you're after level 2 and your support actually does something to put draven in a bad spot. You can outdo him by yourself later with your itemspikes.
Jhin
Similar to draven. If your hp is high enough and hes at first or fourth shot you can look forward to trading or potentially killing him early. You win later with itemspikes
Nautilus
The king of cc. A long and wide ranged hook does not put a smile on her face. Once cass has miasma she can handle naut better, but before miasma he's going to be oppressive.
Leona
The queen of cc. Again, once cass has miasma she can handle leona better.
Veigar
RESPECT HIS ZONE OF INFLUENCE. When hes walking up, he will highly likely look for a cage, try to use your abilities before then to outrun his stuff. If ur caught in the cage and his support is there, gl. Other than that coordinate with support to ruin him early
Karthus
He's you (basically).
Caitlyn
the recent buffs on her (currently on patch 10.16) really put cait in a better spot. Another early oppressive champ, you can handle her better once you have W + items.
Ezreal
Very annoying to play against. Once you land a Q or W on him feel free to obliterate him. Rylais and liandry's will be really helpful against him.
Blitzcrank
You get the message. Hook champs highly oppressive. Unlike leona and naut, he can hook regardless of miasma because his doesn't involve movement.
Thresh
Considerably more predictable than other hook champs. Can still hook regardless of miasma, but can't dash to you.
Pyke
Again, more predictable than other hooks. If he initiates with a hook and instead of his dash, you can W on him so that he cannot use his stun or even ult. Feeding him will be 2x worse though.
Lux
Personally consider she has disjointed cc. Dodge her skills and she becomes vulnerable. Much easier to dodge with if you Q her or the botlaner.
Xerath
High poke, this champ can be considered equivalent to lux.
Nami
Squishy and easy to kill. If she decides to W poke, you can scare her off with a Q and a few E's. If your support knows what to do, she becomes a sushi.
Miss Fortune
No hard cc, just heavy damage while she's alive. Your ult > Her ult. She makes an easy kill earlygame and the majority of the time she will be facing you.
Neeko
BOT: Dodging her skills and ult shouldn't be a challenge if you land a Q on her. Watch out if she has protobelt and if you have no vision later in the game.
SUPPORT: Usually she will bring glacial. Her root can pass through minions and also gain extra cc time doing so, so try to keep your distance from the wave and from her GLP. If there's anyone near, have them also peel for the twin shadows.
Janna
Squishy, considerably has inconsistent CC unless she gets really close to you or if she can predict movements. She will be more intimidating with a yasuo around. Overall easy to kill and not as impactful or played compared to other supports.
Brand
Annoying in every phase play. He won't be as problematic if you can stay away from other units when he ults and dodging with faster ms from you landing a q.
Bard
He can create easy setup. Keep a distance from other ally units or terrain so that he can't stun you.
Braum
Not oftenly played and played well, but a good braum will make use of their cc and peel. Most he can do is stop you from killing someone.
Aphelios
Squishy, recently nerfed, and can 1v9 with enough lifesteal and no grievous.
Kalista
Not oftenly played, but a good kalista can easily wreak havoc. Misuse of your W on her and she will still dance around until she explodes you. She won't have an ult if her support is not around.
Kai'Sa
Like you, she scales better lategame. You are bulkier than her though so a good Q can usually lead to a dead kaisa.
Jinx
Just a little annoying, and will continue to be so if she's fed. Otherwise she's an easy kill.
Karma
Easy CC she can land, but you can technically outrun it. Poke hurts, but you can outdamage her once you land a Q and commit.
Morgana
Long cc, both in range and durations. Spellshield will not be as hard to take down since you deal magic damage, but still forces you to damage before CCing.
Ashe
Basically the AD version of Rylais Cass. Unlike your build, hers is squishier and her ult cannot stun more than one person.
Samira
remember she can block W , E , and R with her windwalls so it's either bait that out or use them first, you may also need to build grievous against her
Seraphine
sona but better
Sona
very squishy, immobile, and team reliant, can get cocky with a Q poke which is the perfect time for you to destroy her
Akshan
watch out for his stealth and slipperiness and wit's end
Syndra
skillshot reliant champ but say she lands her stuff, then she's terrifying. likely to burst you down before you can engage or fight back. Watch out for her level 2 where she can Q E stun. Her stuff is much easier to dodge at range if you land a Q on her or enemy supp
Heimerdinger
Sett
needs to use flash/hexflash a lot to make plays as a support so just poison and kite him
Lucian
its best you run at him once he uses up his dash, watch out though cuz he does provide very fast dmg outputs
Quinn
who plays her bot nowadays
Anivia
she's squishy but got a revive passive, she also has good CC and burst/dps
you will definitely need some support/jg help
Swain
similar play style to you, landing a Q on him or support can help you dodge his claw better, also try to play with minions behind you to reduce him hooking you as well
Ziggs
Land a Q on him and run him down, he gets clapped pretty easily. Lock him down with W if you catch up, or just wait for him to throw out his c4. Null magic mantle is enough to suppress alot of his poke
Xayah
new lethal xayah builds will hurt a little but in earlygame you win pretty well, smack her like a gnat
Akshan
idk what to put here really
Amumu
2 bandage tosses and an ult stun instead of root, they really gave alot of love to him. but he's not as terrifying now due to the nerfs and you can ground him to prevent his use of Q
Cassiopeia
mages in the botlane rule!! have fun in blindpick
Lucian
this matchup is just who slams their keyboard better really, but in all seriousness do tethering with him and respect his zone of influence, once you land a Q or W on him he's low and vulnerable
Rakan
like xayah just smack him like a gnat, only that he's more intimidating early
Malphite
get banshee to scare him off and then when it is appropriate use W on him so he can't ult
Cho'Gath
think of him like a scarier janna
Maokai
his engages are pretty predictable so you can just play reactively and take him down
Pantheon
make sure to have control of the brush and keep decent tethering, once he's caught in W he's pretty helpless
Lulu
it's mostly her polymorph and ult that can really stop you from scoring kills but other than that she's also free lunch
Yuumi
grievous and you're basically good to go
Zilean
He goes excellently with mages in the botlane. Easy CC and deals surprising damage with his bombs. He can simultaneously suppress the enemy while also boosting you.
Yuumi
you guys' earlygame and engage sucks but at the end of the day she is very skill capped high APM helping you or another big teammate hypercarry
Nautilus
The king of cc. He can make your earlygame a lot more enjoyable, providing great setup and has a PNC CC ult.
Leona
The queen of cc. Makes your earlygame more enjoyable, can peel like a god as well.
Brand
High damage output and is very annoying. If you can't carry, he can.
Lux
Another carry support, she is very annoying to play against. Capable of stealing objectives and also shielding the team, she's the poster girl of league for a reason.
Teemo
His poisons counts toward your empowered E damage, basically getting rid of your concern of landing a Q to commit to a trade. His blind also helps negate a lot of damage specifically from ADCs. You gain a huge level 2 spike with him, since he makes CSing easier as well as saving you extra mana for more E's when trading. He lacks peel though so if he's caught out expect him to die.
Singed
Like teemo, his poison works into your E. He also has a ground, which can really help you dive in on the enemy! He's going to have to walk up a lot though, but it should be alright since that would just usually lead to him building tanky.
Twitch
i actually never knew his poisons work with cass E for like 3 years but there are definitely better support options
Bard
great CC/peels and hit and run support, complementary to cass.
Blitzcrank
its a little tricky trying to secure kills with him
you either look forward to using your W to ground enemies so they become easier to hook but you can also W if he already lands a hook so the target doesnt escape
nonetheless a nice hook champ
Rakan
THOUGH he may be a little squishy for engage supports, he gets it done.
its like a yuumi but instead of you making the moves he does most of it
Morgana
her CC is funny and spellshield is great for your safety but if she misses her Q a lot then..... yea
Galio
super thick and nice peel capability, just gotta understand his AOE AA can force pushing waves
Alistar
gotta play a little passive during level 1 and 2 but once he has his lv3 you guys can also farm the enemy duo
Janna
kinda inconsistent in performance and dangerous in engage (by that i mean she's gonna walk up for a W and the enemy duo will just run at her)
Sona
just like janna she's gonna walk up for a Q AA and the enemy duo will run at her
Lulu
best enchanter
Seraphine
idrk what to put here, but if she has graceful phoenix skin enemy team will ff because clearly everything about it just looks and sounds great and we are so used to seeing the 🤢🤢
Ivern
XDD
Maokai
his dmg output is pretty low but he does have the annoy and poke factor with his saplings
tons of cc as well
Cho'Gath
nice cc, execute, and hp scaling but he's a little slow overall
Fiddlesticks
prework fiddles was a better support imo
Amumu
new 2 bandage tosses pretty cool
other than that :P
Gragas
make sure you watch for his ult cause you dont wanna be throwing out your kit when theyre displaced out of your favor
Malphite
nice flexibility to build full AP or tank
most he will be doing pre 6 though is throwing his poop wheel and slowing the target (great opportunity to throw Q and W with him)
Miss Fortune
most definitely will be playing AP and spamming E
nice for annoying the enemy but there are better supp options
Rell
she loves running at the enemy and CCing them, nice lockdowns
too bad she isnt played alot though
Senna
hope she has glacial
Ashe
alternative to support MF
Nami
complementary to cass playstyle, only bested by lulu
beware for her W times where she just walks up to the enemy and tries to poke with W (enemy team can start running at her)
Pantheon
makes earlygame a lot more fun but make sure to close the game asap cuz he will fall off
Neeko
great CC that passes through minions, can bait enemy attacks and provide vision with W clone, nice earlygame dmg and scaling
Orianna
her orb when attached to you provides extra armor and MR, excellent for extra survivability
shes like a.....burst.....battle....mage....support?? kinda combo
Poppy
Swain
kinda better if it was swain bot but support also gets the job done
if he misses his E that's okay because you both can just still run at them
Tahm Kench
new abyssal dive rework very nice for aggressive plays
Shen
it's shen dude
Shaco
great setups for reactive fights, speaking of that you should look forward to playing like that during early laning
Sett
hexflash sett supp pretty decent setups, better with stridebreaker, only thing is he's gonna be playing a little slow pre6
Braum
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D2FPzS2sJo
Zyra
a well rounded champ, nice root, dmg, poke, and peels, even better CC if she builds rylais
she is probably one of THE GREATEST mages capable of providing vision
Pyke
aggressive as heck support which is what cass loves, only problem is he's pretty squishy so dont expect a lot of peel
Soraka
pretty telegraphed pokes and in the cases where she misses her poke / lands it she just runs behind you for the most part
Thresh
Veigar
