Kat rework completely contradicts what was stated for her goals.

It says right on the goal page for her.

"But we also want her opponents to be able to tell what’s happening. We’re slowing down her abilities, and giving opponents a better indication of where Katarina is and where she’s going so that they can better respond to her threat."

This is not "Slowing her down" so we can see what is happening. this is giving her MORE blinks then she already has, how do you honestly expect anyone to "Respond" to that many blinks that fast? You gave her more blinks and more cool downs which is not what she needed at all.

Also she once again is not doing single target damage like an assassin should be, now she does more AOE damage then she did before. That's not what an assassin is, Assassins are supposed to pick a target to eliminate them, you just made Kat, who already is designed to eliminate entire teams easier to do that.

They just made her easier with more damage and 0 escape (ward jumps)... basically nerf to her skill, buff to her "Look at me I can blindly bash my E on swords and deal massive damage and OS everyone cuz I got buff on my damage, not only spamability"... which will end up in a worse state than she currently is, because we all know she'll get 10 buffs and most likely a small rework AGAIN in few months... Untill they realize they ruined her with all this nerfing and reworking and wish to be able to make her as she was, but realize THERE"S NO GOING BACK...

So anyone else thinking that Kat will be impossible to pick anymore for the mains cuz of everyone else abusing her now ?XD

That is slowing it down for an Assassin. You do realize that she has to wait for her W to come down now right and has to get her Q.

You realize her only way of blinking at any meaningful speed will be by using her blades as basically a semi-reset? Instead of just Q-E-W-repeat against any low health or low MR squishy target, like it is now? And her ward jump was removed, if I remember correctly. And the only way she gains said blades is through her Q and W, both of which have a fairly slow blade throwing animation before it actually lands on the ground where she can collect it for her old-W spin?
