Let's be real here: Katarina isn't an assassin anymore.

She just isn't. She can't deal tons of damage in a second or in a fraction of a second.

Most of her damage is put into R and passive and well: a) Nobody is going to let Katarina just ulti them (they either run away, kill her or cc her). b) Nobody is just going to sit around her blades c) Blades take too long to land on the ground and "trigger" + damage is also "slow".

I entered Zhonyas on 50% health as Katarina, enemy ADC was next to me with 400 health and I couldn't finish her, even though I used every ability the second I came out of my zhonya's state. My passive blades just didn't have time to trigger.

She quite literally feels like a ranged poke champion that can jump around pretty fast. She "assassinates" enemies by poking for 3-5 rotations and then hope enemy gets near her, when low.

Seriously, do the following:

  • more damage on Q
  • faster blade "trigger" and landing times
  • if you don't want to add more damage to Q, add some damage amplification to W or something.

PS: Down vote me all you want, you unskilled bronze garbage that hates champion, because one can't play against them.

Jokes on you, I've beaten plenty of Katarinas and have watched as reworked Katarinas on my team wreck havok.

Still downvoting because you are delusional in thinking that she should be unstoppable.

man if you use your passive resets well you can have 4-6 daggers just layering around on the ground. At that point, they will have no where to run.

Besides, Kat should not be given both burst and AOE damage. That why she was reworked to begin with.

She doesnt have as much reliable or instant damage anymore but if you setup well you can still do a lot with her, probably more than before the rework.

An ADC killed you, therefore kata isn't an assassin? Wut?

Soo umm have you tried blinking on your opponent, throwing your W up, and ulting? Although I won't dismiss that her early game is really weak comparatively, she needs to ramp unlike most assassins.

Might I redirect you to Flyerbek, one of the greatest Katarina's of our time and we should all be sacrificing our goats to him for protection against the Devil Teemo.

If you want to look at this, go ahead. That might change your mind, might not.

But I'd like to disagree with you on all your points. She's probably better than her pre-rework. She has more counterplay (thank god), and if the Kat knows what she's doing, goodbye squishies. I think she's fine now. Upping her currently would bring her into the OP state and that'd be way too much. She's almost perfectly healthy :).
