So when is Katarina going to get a healthy play pattern?

Because the current meta of:

Spam pots and resourceless daggers and whittle your opponent down with little to no counterplay early Push lane out and roam bot for double kill Snowball and win game

Is fucking obnoxious to play against.

There are a lot of things to complain about regarding Kat but I don't get your complaints. Kat shouldn't be able to poke anyone out of lane since they nerfed her health regeneration and she has horrendously weak waveclear, particularly early on. Where are you while she's pushing out and if you're in lane - who are you playing that actually has inferior waveclear to her?

Even with boots + 4 pots start she gets poked out before the majority of mages, and she gets pushed on too. She can often snowball despite that but there's no way she should be getting the advantage on you in lane.

or you can learn how to play against it like going mid with Kayle shove her in all game so she cant roam or lose tower or just 1v1 her because you can out poke/sustain. Oh she tries to all in presses r? you press r and kill her. I love facing katarinas its a free win.

what katarina needs is not a healthy play pattern but interactive play pattern

when katarina exists in a game the rules change ... its basicaly whether you stop katarina or die trying even if you manage to stop her you dont feel succesfull at all ... you feel lucky or still fked becuase she will respawn

katarina is a champion who dwells on perfect synergy ... you dont have that you wont stop katarina unless luck and then look at what cant solo q compete

basicaly speaking katarina is bad design her only counterplay is playing like lcs pros ... solo q cant do that

IMO her W should be buffed and her Q nerfed. It's too easy to just poke down with Qs if your opponent is low ranged.

Make her Q scale 5 or 10 lower and her W scale 5 or 10 dmg higher per level invested in the skill.

Or... swap some of the first hit damage to the mark damage of her Q

Currently:

Dagger Magic damage: 60 / 85 / 110 / 135 / 160 (+ 45% AP)

Mark Magic damage: 15 / 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 (+ 15% AP)

Total Damage: 75 / 115 / 155 / 195 / 235 (+ 60% AP)

Change to

Dagger Magic damage: 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 (+ 30% AP)

Mark Magic damage: 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 (+ 30% AP)

Total Damage: 140 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 (+ 60% AP)

I doubt they will ever do anything about the toxicity that is Katarina. Whoever thought of an assassin with full resets like that blows my mind. Only thing you can do against Katarina is just ban her. No matter how much you shut her down she's gonna snowball regardless.

Someone with the name Annie is complaining about Katarina.

/giggle

Kat has a 48% winrate, clearly nothing can stop her.

You know, the one time in ranked I play vs you, your teammates all said to report you since you were toxic and useless.

Because the current meta of:

Every champion in the game

Is fucking obnoxious to play against.

Seriously, the only characters that are fair are the ones that have been nerfed into the ground.
