Katarina Skin Idea: Shockblade Katarina

I know that Katarina has quite a few skins already, but I was thinking about ideas for a skin that Riot could make for Katarina that could either be legendary or possibly a 1350 skin with cool particles. Currently Kat has 3 skins that were only available for a limited time and her only skin with different particles is one of those. When brainstorming, I thought of what I think to be an amazing skin idea for Kat: Shockblade Katarina. She could be dressed in blue and silver apparel and her daggers could look like lightning bolts. Her Q(bouncing blades) could have new lightning particles and sound FX. and same goes for her W. Her E(Shunpo) has a lot of potential because the animation makes it look like Katarina is coming down from the sky. So I thought that she could come down with the crash of a lighting bolt! Her ult could have a similar particle to her q and w. I think this would be an awesome skin for Katarina! Let me know what you think.

Yea I do agree that some champs are in desperate need of new skins. Thankfully Riot has slowed down champ production some, and are focusing more on reworks/VU's and skins. Hopefully those skin deprived champs get the skins they deserve sometime soon.

A great idea for her! Would really like to see new animations to Katarina so it'd be a blast having my favorite mid a cool looking skin.

Would be nice, but they might want to make her more viable first. It kind of sucks having nice skins for champions you can't play because they're so horribly outclassed (Arcade Sona).

She is actually in a half way decent spot right now. Kat as a champ overall is quite difficult to balance because of her reset mechanics. If they buff the base damage on any of her basic abilities, let's say by 10, that damage could turn to and extra 30-40 damage real quick, and on multiple champs as well because of resets and because she is mostly aoe. I do agree should could be in a better spot, especially since she sees little to no competitive play. She mainly excels in low elo such as bronze and silver. Let's just say she's been in worse spots when it comes to her balance.
