Katarina a problem for anyone?

She just seems extremely strong and mobile. Yes, I know that's what an assassin is. Bursty and mobile. But she seems to be on a whole other level. Now I'm far from the best Zed, but she just seems to have way more mobility and burst than I do, especially when my ult is on cd. I spend the whole lane trying to land skill shots while she just clicks her auto dagger and dashes multiple times after hitting her spin. I'm not looking for match up tips. I'm just curious to know if anyone else feels she's a little too bursty and / or mobile atm.

Her early game damage needs to be nerfed . She roamed top at lvl 3 and spun 3 times idk how and took 50% of my health in less than 3 secs

yes, she's cancer design

she is an actual hard counter to Karthus, there is absolutely nothing he can do against her now

yeah,, i lied her better when she had counterplay...

can i tell where she is going to shunpo to? yes...

but she can do it any time, and it make its nearly impossible to hit her with any form of skillshot. even aoe ones.

PLUS instead of having to get a kill or assist to get another shunpo, she can just do it AGAIN and AGAIN.

the last game i faced i literally COMPLETELY outplayed her, i dodged 3 of her shunpos i predicted her land and managed to hit her with a skillshot TWICE and i ALMOST killed her, but then she threw a dagger that behind me shunpoed to it and pressed R. and i died

it was stupid.. i can prob find the replay... but i don't see a point in spending the time.

I was honestly thinking about learning her as a substitute for Zed. But I just despise her so much now. She's very frustrating to lane against. She seems to have a lot of what Zed has but more, in regards to the burst / mobility along with the option to build a zhonyas. I might still play her a bit just to learn how she works exactly, in hopes of making it a bit easier to lane against her.

How the hell does her spin / dash work exactly? She seems to do it so many times. Gets to be a little much. Hard for me to time when shes immobile and I can try to burst her. At least with Zed you know once his shadow is out he just used up his dash potential.

Her E has around a 10 second CD, every time she picks up a dagger most of the cooldown is refunded (based on rank, at rank 1 it's about 3 seconds left if you tp to the dagger itself.

Shunpo's range is ridiculous now, outpoking any given ADC, and easily the most broken part of her kit.

not really i have a good idea how she works cause i spammed her during the rework and really hated her alot but i think i understand her now(still prefer the old one) but she does have the same problems with snowballing except now she starts it earlier around lv 3 but she falls off earlier as most of her damage comes from the daggers so if u avoid them she cant do much. What i suggest is just walk away from the daggers and aim ur skillshots at the daggers since there's a delay before she can shunpo again
