Cassiopeia Counters Classic 26.22
Poison does the work here. While Noxious Blast or Miasma is ticking on you, Twin Fang comes back almost instantly, so step clear of the cloud and let it wear off. Turn away from Petrifying Gaze and the cone only slows you.
The play Spend your dash the moment Petrifying Gaze starts, and it lands on empty ground.

How to Counter Cassiopeia in LoL Classic
Counter guideCassiopeia spends all three of these lanes being kept at a distance she did not choose. This one clearly favors Lux, whose 
Lucent Singularity slows the approach while 
Finales Funkeln works the far end of it. Ahri gets a tilt from Spirit Rush, which she can send out three times before it goes on cooldown. An edge worth respecting sits with Kassadin once Riftwalk exists, because a teleport ends any chase Cassiopeia starts.

Playing Lux into Cassiopeia
Lux roots Cassiopeia for two seconds with Light Binding. The attack that follows sets Illumination off.
| Counter strengthGood | TakeChamp selectExhaust | BuyThe answers |
Lux outranges Cassiopeia, so the first half of this lane is fought at a distance that suits Lux. 
Light Binding answers the moment she commits, and it lands easiest after she has already started walking. Lucent Singularity comes back every ten seconds. Root her and she is back where she started.
Cassiopeia relies on help arriving through the river, since the rest of the lane sits in front of Lux. Buy the vision early and keep it, and 
Prismatic Barrier stops being the whole plan against a gank.
Cassiopeia standing under her turret takes the whole plan apart, because walking up to farm hands her the distance you spent the lane keeping. Take the missed minions. Let Finales Funkeln work from where you already are, and wait for her to step out from under it.
