so as we all know kata dont have any skill shots but she is still quite a hard champ to master but i got an idea how her Q and E could get changed a bit for kata mains so she feels smoother. So katas Q what if we make it a skill shot. like you would throw a dagger forward in a line but you have to land it on an enemy in order for it to bounce to two more nearby targets and if you miss then the dagger will just fall to the ground? this forces kat to focus more on her Q how she lands it before she can go all in and finish off a squeezy champ and then her E, i feel it is a bit slow with the tiny cast time but if we could make it like old katas E it would be better i believe. so a harder Q which now would be a skill shot and a faster E in order to balance it out a bit. so shes still fast like an assassin but she must land her Q in order to do good dmg 1v1 or in a 5v5. and her Q could do more potential if you wanna place a dagger next to an enemy then you could just ''miss the skill shot'' so it dont bounce but simply fall to the ground. she will have more opportunities to do other plays.

If it lands even if you miss it, then that means Katarina will have a free dash to anywhere she chooses without needing a target.

If she got ganked, she would just throw the dagger backwards at nothing, then shunpo to it.

She would also be able to jump thick walls, and gap close even better.

The delay on the dagger would also be shorter, because it has a 1.25 second delay after hitting something. This would make her combos faster. In later fights, the Q throw damage isnt what you care about. Its the dagger on the ground. Being able to place it where ever you want would be much better.

On top of being better, it would make her more clunky. Sometimes you would want to start shunpo-ing on the dagger/enemy right after you throw it. This means the dagger wont land on a consistent 1.25 sec timer. Whether she hits it or not, will change the fight drastically. (Whether she intended to hit it or not).

Kat already has to think about how her daggers are going to lane. The Targeted Q damage itself doesn't matter.

Would she be able to Q minions? Do minions block it? Both are terrible for her. Gutting her laning phase.

Change would just be clunky and undo what her rework set out to change.
