Katarina needs power shifts

Unlucky47··4 votes·476 views

Most of her damage is unavoidable because it comes from her shunpo and her q/ult. I can't lane against her even though I avoid almost every dagger. Even without picking up a single dagger, she still two shots me with aether wisp. It's fucking ridiculous

EDIT: I AM SO SICK OF THIS! People assume that because my thread says one thing, I don't think whatever else. I never said old kat was better I'm simply saying that as she is now, she is too strong.

That's my point. Did you read the post? I avoid her daggers on the ground but she will still instant kill me with her e q ult and ignite before I can do anything about it.

The problem is that her other only reliable damage source is her ultimate which already deals a lot of damage. Her other damage source, her q, is too unreliable since it's easier to avoid it so putting damage there will be more of a nerf to Kat. Do you have any bright ideas?

So what you're saying is that most of her damage comes from her Q, E and Ultimate? She literally only has 4 aspects off her Kit that do damage, and you're complaining that 3 out of those 4 do damage. Literally the only thing left is her Daggers, which already have a 1:1 AP Ratio anyways. If her daggers did more damage you'd complain about those doing too much damage. There's literally no where left to shift damage to in her kit without either removing it or making one ability stupidly busted.

It's like saying most of Syndra's damage comes from her Q, W and Ultimate.

Her e is a utility ability so that should be ruled out but even that does ridiculous damage. The were her passive works makes it look like she's supposed to pick up the dagger to deal good damage to you but she just throws it at you and it's like getting chunked by a full ap snowball. Think about it. Her q is two parts of damage and 90% of the abilities in the game that have 2 parts of damage do the majority of it on the second part. Akalis or lee sins q for example. It also takes the supposed "skill ceiling" because she can still kill you without what should be the most essential part of her kit. The damage is unavoidable so it should at least not destroy my entire health bar.

Also keep in mind that she is a manaless champion with enough resets to never have a weak point.

I literally have no idea where you get this idea that Katarina's initial Q does a lot of damage. I think amongst her entire kit it does for the most part the least damage. I've never experienced being Killed by a Katarina without the use of her daggers, let alone have I ever lost a trade to a Katarina in lane who has only used Q, E and Ultimate.

I don't know what kind of kats you've been fighting, but everyone I fight just spams q on you whenever you walk into lane and it does upwards of 100 damage per hit and that's just off base damage, runes and masteries. Then the moment she gets any actual ap its doing more than 300 damage.
