Katarina did not need a nerf

Has a long enough cooldown on "bouncing blade" for mid rangers to out farm her and poke her (if skilled enough). Sinister steel helps with farming except with mages can deal huge amount of damage from their range. You already took away Death Fire Grasp and increased the gold cost of null magic armor to 500. Players usually doesn't know much on Katarina which they complain how OP she is when she is squishy and easily INTERRUPTED. People usually (wood, bronze, silver, gold) are bad at skill shots and timing so katarina has advantages. At least let her be able to "shunpo" twice without the cooldown (like Le Blanc, well its different skill). Comon you even took away the "shunpo" damage. The new 3 second from the 80% "shunpo" is enough to destroy her especially with jungle gankers with stuns/slows.

She did not need a nerf in the first place. With all the damage nerf, could have given Katarina to shunpo twice. All champions turn OP when fed. Its just the players fault for being bad at skill shots, focuses, and map awareness.

That was back in January. They changed their mind about these changes more recently, BUT I am sure some kind of rework is impending at some point.

They were actually trying to pass off it off as a damage buff due to AD scaling, but anyone who did the math realized it was anything but.

Yes she needed a nerf. There is a reason she is banned in nearly every single game I played last patch. And that's because she can spin on squishies and kill 3/5 members of your team with one button press.

Of course she needed nerfs to calm her damage down.

The only nerf she didn't need was her splash art.
