Katarina need mana

I think every mid champion must have mana or energy and Katarina above all. It's not fairplay for other mid champion who have mana. With mana, Katarina won't be able to use a full combo 3 time in a row and she won't be able to spawn is attack to farm. Thats why mana exist. She is a mage so she need mana. If you that it will destroy the champion, think about other midlaner like Anivia or Cassiopeia. What if we remove their mana. They will spawn their attack and it would be very very annoying. Exactly like Katarina . Same thing for Yasuo, he need energy.

It wouldn't bother me if Katarina had to worry about mana.

I don't think it would really solve anything if all the people who complain about Kat and ban her whenever they can still have no idea how to play against her, however.

"It's not fair! I picked a mana champ, they picked a manaless champ, and I don't get to cast as many spells!"

"It's not fair! I picked a melee champ, they picked a ranged champ, and I can't get in range!"

"It's not fair! I picked a classic mage, they picked an assassin, and they keep killing me too fast!"

You can keep going on about how it's not fair because you picked a playstyle and they picked a soft counter to it. Or you can learn how to handle a soft counter and get good at the game.

The thing about katarina is... she has 0 CC and one of the easiest(if not easiest) assassin to actually CC.

I don't agree with all your points, but it's fair that Katarina should have mana. For real, she's able to dodge everything a skillshot reliant champion throws at her, and then hit right back with her point and click Q. With towers being as shitty as they are it's even worse, I've actually been 100-0'd mid game by a 3/2 Katarina under tower, and I didn't even miss my abilities, after I died she just ward jumped right out. If she can do that, why does she need unlimited Q poke.

I don't know how you could limit her normal gameplay without nerfing her team fight potential REALLY hard that she has from her passive with a mana pool, the cooldown refresh she has would mean nothing after 2 or 3 kills if she has no mana to keep fighting.

But I DO agree that the sustain in lane that Kat and Yasuo have just for not having any pool tied to their abilities is too strong

I really don't think giving her mana will solve anything. She will still need low enough mana costs to justify her need for resetting her abilities during teamfights. I mean that is her core identity as her kit is balanced around it.
