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.
