Katarina Re-Imagined (Ability Kit)
DISCLAIMER: Not an official rework of any kind! This is just a fun little fan project to be creative and create a new ability kit for Katarina. Being real with you all, one that offers proper counter play to play around while making Katarina more useful for her team than simply just damage. The added utility means Katarina does need to be feast or famine to function, it would be cool to have assassins to always be viable no matter the meta and do it in a way that offers healthy gameplay where the opponent actually felt outplayed and not cheated.
If you like or do not like something then speak up and share your thoughts, I will never be able to read your mind, so say exactly what is bothering you and do not in a calm and proper manner - do not react from emotions.
DISCLAIMER TWO: Of course she still has her blink here, the point to this is added proper counter play to the blink, not remove it. Also make most of her resetting mechanics more interactive with gameplay elements behind them rather than a free gimme for everything just for doing basic assassin things.
Basic Attack Range: 125 units Movement: 345 units per second
Voracity (Passive): Katarina's abilities mark struck enemies for 3 seconds, targets that receive 3 marks consume them and are dealt 4%(+2.5% per 100AP) of the target's maximum health as bonus magic damage.
Bouncing Blade (Q): Cooldown: 10 seconds; Range: 700 / 400 units Katarina throws a dagger to the target enemy, bouncing to up to 2 nearby enemies and then bouncing halfway towards Katarina's location, if Katarina catches the dagger before it hits the ground then Bouncing Blade's cooldown is reduced by 50/60/70/80/90%. Katarina gains a surge of 100% bonus movement speed while the dagger is in the air.
Bouncing Blade deals 50/65/80/95/110(+45%AP) magic damage to struck enemies.
Sinister Blades (W): Cooldown: 8 seconds; Range: 350 units Katarina swiftly twirls her daggers around her, dealing 50/65/80/95/110(+45%AP) magic damage to struck enemies and granting herself 10%(+3% per 100AP) plus 6/7/8/9/10% damage reduction for 1.5 seconds for every enemy champion or epic monster struck.
Detonating Voracity with Sinister Blades reduces this cooldown by 60/70/80/90/100%.
Shunpo (E): Cooldown: 1 second; Cost: 1 Pole; Range: 1500 units; Fear Radius: 425 units Active: Katarina creates a pole at the target location after a 1 second delay, remaining in play for 8 seconds and revealing the area around it.
Passive: Katarina can right-click on a pole to dash to it at the speed of light upon being within 750 range, fearing nearby enemies upon arrival for 1.25/1.5/1.75/2/2.25 seconds. Katarina can only fear the same target once every 8 seconds. Katarina can only blink to the same pole once every 3/2.5/2/1.5/1 second(s).
Katarina stores a pole every 18/16.5/15/13.5/12 seconds, up to a maximum of 2 at a time. Gaining a champion kill or assist will instantly store 1 pole. Katarina's stored poles are revealed through a resource bar underneath her health bar.
Death Lotus (R): Cooldown: 90/70/50 seconds; Range: 600 units Katarina channels in place for 2 seconds and sprays a flurry of 100 daggers and another 100 daggers around her moving outward, rotating clockwise then counter clockwise, starting location based on the mouse cursor's location. Each dagger stops at the first enemy struck, dealing 10/14/18(+5%AP) magic damage each. Katarina does two full rotations. Death Lotus applies 3 marks of Verocity if a struck enemy took damage from both rotations of daggers.
Cast Death Lotus again to end the channel early.
Passive: Champion kills and assists reduce Death Lotus' cooldown by 20/25/30% when the target dies within 3 seconds of taking damage from Death Lotus.
NOTE: This Death Lotus deals about a maximum of 25% of the daggers to a single target, varies on how close you are to the target since the daggers are going to spread out from each other as they travel, so more risk for more reward with getting in closer.
