Can someone explain to me the logic behind Katarina and a few other champions

She has high mobility, high single (that does the same amount of aoe) burst, cooldown resets and is a resourceless champion that is perfectly viable in all phases of the game. Her only set back is that she is a melee champion but all her spells have extended range and she has a safe getaway with her E (that can also be used on wards) in case she does have to go melee range to cs or do damage.

Riven is the other example of a perfectly fine resourceless champion. Her and Kat never have to go back unless they run out of health pots. Not to mention Riven has outrageous AD ratios.

And while I'm here, nerf Lee Sin already. Too much mobility, too much ad ratios and high base damage.

Haha kat has no early game whatsoever. Almost all mid laners outdamage her till mid to late game when she gets some items. Both riven and katarina are what are called feed or famine champs, meaning if they don't get fed, or if they get behind, they are useless, because they have no utility to offer to fights, and they have no damage, nor are they tanky enough to become a meatshield for your carries. Both are also easily countered in lane, and are more vulnerable to cc than most damage. Most of Kat's damage lies in her ulti, which can be interrupted by majority of champions. And please stop with the Lee Sin qqing. The guy is balanced as is. Never have I been in champ selection, see the enemy team pick lee sin and think, damn it guys why didn't we ban lee? gg!. Sure it's annoying that you see him all the time, but after the next patch, he wont be as popular.

Katarina high single target burst? What are you smoking?

Her single target burst from QWE is 575 + 1.25 AP, which is on the low side. And then there is her R, yes - but that is a channeled ability over 2.5 seconds, so not instant burst.
