(Champion Rework) Cassiopeia, the Serpent's Embrace

Template:Champion info

This is a tentative rework for Cassiopeia, the Serpent's Embrace. After having remained mostly untouched for years, her rework during the Shurima update sent her down a rocky road of reworks. Her initial update mostly aimed at defining her hypercarry power curve, but shifted a lot of power towards her Twin Fang, while failing to address its gameplay issues. Her second update in V6.9 improved her even further, though, and made her play much more consistently, but still left her in a middling state between a DoT mage and a not-quite-poison mage.

At the core of Cassiopeia's issues is a fair amount of redundancy: her Q applies a DoT, her W applies a DoT, and her E applies a lot of DPS, and on top of that both her Q and E are fairly spammable. All of these inputs don't really add up to as much depth as they should, and create a lot of unnecessarily difficulty and dependency on good ping to succeed. The changes below aim to fix that while reconciling her themes, giving her more unified sources of damage while also letting her play a bit more with her different poisons. Cassiopeia would still have a lot to do from moment to moment, but she'd also get to make more impactful decisions along the way during fights.
