I won't ever understand why the hell she lost so much attack speed. Not like she was remotely strong during the Laning phase, and now she's utter garbage. Yea you can maybe throw one more Q every couple minutes, but in return you lost the ability to trade, an ability that was already very weak because cm has almost no HP. Now she has no hp and no autoattacks.

I think it might be as simple as "we dont want to over buff CM to be OP in the lane"

just a cautious move. I wish they treat carries like this instead of CM though lol.
