Why wont somebody finally take a closer look at Kata and give her lower base dmg on ult and bigger cooldowns? I mean c'mon she's the reason no1 can carry bronze exept a Kata player.

The problem is that you cant just nerf her. She needs a full rework or something, but right now she is just straight up broken, not in a op way but also not in a up way.

The counterplay to Katarina is cc. Knockups. Knockbacks. Stuns. Silence. This needs to be on your tank, as everyone else is squish city around her. So Chogath , Braum , Blitzcrank Thresh Alistar are all your best friends against her. Just save one of your cc's for when she ults into a team fight, and stop her.

I'm not saying she isn't ridiculously OP, because as far as it goes she is. Other Assassins like Zed or Leblanc are somewhat balanced because they are exceptional at killing one person but rather ineffective against a large group. The problem with Kata is that she is just as capable at killing an entire team as she is at deleting an individual, and takes very little skill to do so (Compared to LB who has mana issues, Zed who has positioning). She has no resource and does more aoe damage than most mages, who are typically restricted by mana / cooldown, which she is not because of her passive.

I personally don't like assassins in general. I cringe whenever I see Zed Akali Leblanc or Katarina . It is unhealthy for the game to have a champ do so much damage so fast and yet be so mobile. is by far the worst, but I think the concept of Assassins themselves is a problem Riot is going to have to address eventually.
