Riot can we Readdress Katarina's Rework?

I just played it and it felt awful, it doesn't feel like Katarina at all. The complaint i have along with everyone else is that she feels so clunky. Her W just doesn't fit with the rest of her kit, and completely destroys her identity of cleaning up kills. It isn't that I mind the difficulty changes, because I would love getting to learn a more complex Katarina, but sadly this isn't Katarina. Her W feels so out of place that I can't get past it. I feel as she should be able to atleast place it within a short distance instead of it being placed right where she is currently standing. Also, her E changes feel super awkward imo, I haven't heard anyt complaints about it but i don't feel like I'm blinking around anymore. I feel like when i use smart cast I just randomly end up on the side of someone, especially on a smaller target. Lastly, when her ultimate finishes channeling it plays the sound that played when Katarina got a reset, which is confusing and should stay for when she gets a reset, not when she finishes channeling her ult.

Hopefully atleast one of these issues gets fixed before they hit live because after playing her, I don't know if I am still willing to play Katarina when the rework comes out.

Gee, maybe because she's not faceroll anymore?

Of course it feels completely different. There's actually a little set-up so you don't automatically lose if someone's under 50% HP and she gets in range.

I have yet to try her (no pbe sad life)

but I think they said kat will need a lot of practice for a few days before players get use to her new mechanics. The way she positions after her e is supposed to be unique and "weird" for starters according to riot.

it feels clunky, which is against her fast playstyle

At this point I think that's intended so people won't play her as much. They want her to suck more if you don't have a lot of games on her.
