Katarina's 40% E damage to 25% damage screwed her

I think its essential for a champion like her to have a 52.5% global winrate. If Riot's going to make her a 49% global winrate champion then I'll just stop playing her. Riot overnerfed Elise, I might just as well stop playing Katarina Elise has a 43.1% global winrate and a 0.8% popularity, that is extremely underpowered. If Riot will keep nerfing Katarina can we just turn katarina into an AD assassin fighter instead of assassin mage?

lol this guy, a katarina main crying lols. What a joke, which ever katarina main takes themselves seriously is ridiculous. Katarina IS the easiest and cheesiest way to diamond for sure. Proof being half of the webcam girls on Twitch who are diamond have "kat main" in the title. Mad cause you dont win 7/10 of your games anymore, and have to gain elo like everyone else. Stop crying. anyway, with the release of ludens echo it pretty much reverted what they nerfed on katarina last time (decreased ult INITIAL damage.)

There's much more to champion balance than just win rate. Look at LeBlanc for example. 48% average global win rate day after day. And yet, she's getting nerfed. Why? Because she's FRUSTRATING as hell to play against. Theoretically 4 instant dashes that deal massive damage, a hard cc, a slippery passive and just tons of burst is not balanced. Take a look at Zed too. 47% global win rate. Nerfed. Why? Cause he's frustrating to play against. Looking at Kat it's the exact same situation but she's easy enough to play that her win rate is high even at lower elos. You don't base a champion's worthiness by their win and play rate. That's just stupid. She's getting a strong nerf because she's just been so strong and so annoying for a long time. This nerf is well deserved.

Like Riven, I feel no sympathy towards Katarina, she is a resourceless spammy champ. Resource management is a skill, and having none makes the champion less skillful, therefore they should have some sort of drawback... If less damage is that, than so be it.

No champion needs a 53% win rate, with it going over 56% if it's someone who usually plays it. Especially when this is occurring after multiple nerfs.
