Katarina Rework Question/Suggestion

Hey Riot I played my first game with Katarina , so far I really personally enjoy the rework and I feel like the all the tweaks were good damage is Perfect (more than expected though lol) but one thing that throws me off is how you got rid of her ward hop, is there any specific reasoning behind this change; furthermore why let Jax still ward hop in comparison to Katrina they are both powerhouses but Katarina requires more skill no?

PS: I feel like it should be brought back if you want me to write a reasoning behind this I will for the sake of this balancing.

In terms of a power budget game balance sense, ward hopping is a very powerful tool. The short story is that they wanted to emphasize shunpo's resetting mobility but ward hopping would put it too far over the top.

It would also be cool if q dagger didn't consistently bounce into the middle of nowhere? Is there a request form for making the q dagger not bounce to the least strategic possible area in the lane? I'd like to go fill out that form before playing kat again.

Cause with the E reset on dagger, jumping on a ward would be too op to deal some damage with daggers and then just E out.
