No, her problem is the assassin meta. Cass is completely fine and needs no changes. She is unpopular because assassins can just jump on her with high mobility and kill her.
Yes, and a big portion of the problem with assassins is items. There are a multitude of reasons for the assassin meta. However, you said it was Cass's item options that cause her problems, which is just not true.
Honestly, the assassin meta is related to the nerfs of Aegis/Bulwark and Locket. No longer do squishies get a "free" 10 armor 30 mr, and ~500 hp on shield relatively early in the game. Eventually you still get 20 MR and the Shield if someone builds locket up, but that is usually much later in the game now after the assassin gets rolling.

It is also the S3 ease of sustain for early laning along with the nerf to boots.
It is also from the penetration changes.
As I said, a multitude of reasons.

But the locket nerf wasn't the reason the assassin meta came ahead like mad. General switch of heavy tank stats to more well-rounded bruisers combined with the overall popularity of high-mobility champions just made it seem pretty obvious imo. Why would you pick someone like Cassiopeia, who relies so much on her team to do anything, while you could just pick someone like Ahri or Zed and be more independent?

I wouldn't call it an Assasin meta. Given the choice anyone would want to play champions with positioning tools. Those just happen to be assasins.
But the aegis change did change how strong burst champions were as a whole. Riot nerfed aegis thinking they wanted buying MR to be a conscious decision without thinking about the consequences. It's not like an AD carry will just pause his build to get a random negatron cloak and ninja tabi. That just doesn't happen. ADC don't have enough slots.
Riot made every squishy in the game 10%(locket)+(bulwark) easier to kill in the midgame in teamfights and expected carries to build defensively to make up for it? After spending years balancing squishies and assassins to be as strong as they were.

I mostly agree but mabye they should, it literally won a game at worlds, when Nukeduck thought he could one shot cork, only to go all in on a Corki with a Cowl and throw a pretty decent lead for his team at the time.

I've been thinking about imbalance of the sides and stuff.
So there used to be this MOBA called Realm of the Titans which is probably dead right now. However, it had a symmetrical map. In both of the edges of the map, there was a teleportal to the "Baron" area. So there were 2 entrances that lead to the same place. That way one team didn't have an advantage... Hmhm~

That's not what won the game at world's, it was Nukeduck's mistake in this case. He just can decide to not do that and the ADC deals 1440 gold less damage.

if I read the impressions correctly Heros of the Storm has something like this.
@the response I mean if he didn't have a cowl, the play works it's not Corkis fault he didn't notice and killed himself for free. It also limits Fizz's options, like if he can't one shot anyone, he has to split, and if he splits Corki can 1v1 him, there is a consideration that mabye going defensive item last is too greedy, hell Genja has made a career of building conservatively.

Oh for sure those helped, but I think it realy didn't come into full bloom until the changes to how squishy champs got their defense. Karthus, TF, Jayce all were things. Now they also got nerfed, but them being much easier to kill at a Dragonfight is also a huge reason to not pick them as much anymore. Other immobile champs like MF and Lux also were pretty common in the spring.
Edit: Re Early Defense on AD Carries:
It sucks to do because of slot problems. You really dont ever want to get a defensive item before you get your IEdge, because if you do you end up sitting on a BF sword + 1600 gold for the longest time because you are running low on slots. Also, if you dont have 2 DPS + LW you tickle tanks, so there is that to worry about as well.

when people call Cass short range they more or less mean she has to be a 700 range Turret to do damage, she can't weave in and out with burst, shes like a Ryze who can't go 3+ tank items and still do retarded damage.
on MF, I don't think MF would have stopped seeing play, even after her ult got nerfed if you could force a 5v5 easier, the version of the game played at worlds, the moment you saw a MF pick you could convert your comp to 3-1-1 or 4-1 especially since all of the popular AD/Mids being picked are good in said comps.

NA solo queue is so sad. Watch Korean High Elo solo queue, 7-8 players in the game are all pro-players.
NA, it's a miracle of there's 3 in the same game.
