Katarina Nerfs are Unnecessary and will nearly DESTROY Katarina from being a viable Champion.

I do understand that Kat can snowball very easily IF she gets a lead. However her late game is probably one of the worst in the game because with all the tanks and shields, she can't do anything. Katarina also gets a massive power spike with gunblade. Gunblade is the item that makes Kat as strong as she is. Nerf gunblade, not Kat. Katarina has an strong game, VS immobile champions. However she has a hard time vs mobile champs or cc ranged champions such as Leblanc, Annie, Ekko, etc. Katarina already has a god awful late game, why make it even worse. These nerfs are punishing the good Katarina players that understand her. Her early game may need a little nerf, but her late game needs a buff. Kat gets punished for her teams mistakes. There has been countless times where I go like 32/4 and still lose the game because of my team feeding the enemy team, forcing a sooner late game. Kat is garbage in late game and can't do anything but die or split push and then die later. Kat's early wave clear is also awful. Nerfing the daggers will lower her terrible wave clear even more, making farming even harder, making Kat not able to do anything. She won't be able to farm against poke, ranged champions. She won't be able to contest anything unless the enemy team just runs it down mid. Gunblade is what makes her able to snowbally. I'm not just saying this because I'm a Kat main, I'm saying this because this champion is already weak and only gets strong if the enemy team/enemy mid laner plays very poorly. Kat has a hard enough time already with her 11 second Q against ranged match ups, or even melee match ups with shorter ranged ability cooldowns. Katarina wouldn't be Katarina anymore if she can't kill or farm anyone. She has been hit with nerf after nerf and she feels worse and worse to play with and even if I get 20 kills, I still lose because of tanks and shields. Nerf gunblade pls. Not Kat.

The thing is... Nerfing Gunblade will also nerf champions that uses gunblade. Thus making them worst. I'd say just nerf the champion over ruining an item for other champions. And If you get 20 kills and lose, that more or less shows your ability to end games is pretty bad. Killing the Nexus wins the games. Chasing for kills won't.

I really am getting tired of burst mages and assassins who do their job getting the nerf bat while ADCs run wild.

The reason why I say gunblade should be nerfed is because look at all the champions that use it and watch their burst. It makes them extremely powerful. Kat, Akali, Leblanc, Morde, etc.

They need to rework her AGAIN and give her mana (in fact, they should do that with anyone who doesn't have mana at this point) and make her more single-target oriented just to break free of this cycle of always having to nerf her base damages into the ground because people complain.

Whatever it takes to get her the permission she needs to do the kind of damage that Zed or Rengar or Diana do without everyone totally losing their shit.
