I really feel like another patch should have shipped before Kat was buffed

Every high elo player thinks that Kat was too strong last patch, despite her low winrate. The problem is that her kit is pretty different from her old one, so players were still getting used to it. The people that got used to it the fastest (better players, higher elo players) all said she was OP. Silver players said she was bad because they didn't understand how to unlock the damage in her kit. I think as this patch goes on with the kat buffs we'll see a lot of people getting salty about Kat. She seems way too strong with these new buffs.

She does a lot of damage for sure but you CAN still react to it better than old Katarina. That may be why she's getting buffed. Once players get used to seeing her in more games(probably next patch) I think she'll have a steadier winrate. Could still be overtuned but we'll see.

They probably buffed her as compensation for the bugfix on the W--->E carry-over damage. That bugfix was actually a huge reduction in a good Kat player's burst damage.
