Does Riot balance this game for Blind Picks? NO.
Wanna know why Kat isn't a pick-or-ban choice in Pro matches? Because she is super-easy to counterpick.
You don't want a Kat wrecking your Hexakill match? Get someone to take a Champion with lots of disrupts like Blitzcrank and counter her!
Drogmyre4 votesKat isn't pick or ban in pro matches because 5v5 teams/pros is fundamentally different than 5v5 randoms. You've got 5 people coordinating, usually with voice chat, compared to 5 random people that might not even read the chat. Coordination absolutely crushes Katarina, and it's abundant in pro games but scarce in pubs.
She's complained about because she's rewarded for assists as much as kills. Hexakill has 1 more champ than normal for her to get a 15second cooldown reduction from, and she doesn't even need to get a kill to do it.
That's why she's cancer in hexakill: She can show up, combo+ult, maybe get CC'd, but it doesn't matter because her 5 teammates will probably get at least one kill, which gives her an assist and a basic CD reset which she can use to secure an additional kill/assist, rinse and repeat every fight.
'Just CC her' isn't enough to stop her from resetting and doing her full combo again: You have to 100-0 her within the time of that stun, or she will flash/zhonya's/run/have her team save her and then her resets start coming up off the assists. A Katarina with 10% HP is still 100% capable of brutally murdering your ass with her abilities. CC ain't enough.
Wehrmacht Bunny1 votesI find it funny how people try and make balancement arguments by saying "This is what the pros do" Guess what, the pros only make up 10% or maybe even less of the games total population. So please OP, spare us your bullshit.
Katarina is complained about because how easy it is for her to destroy an entire enemy team of randoms. And guess what OP, most CC's either require an Ult, or some squishy to get close to stop her, and it's pretty hard to do so when she is destroying everyone almost instantly.
Let me please get my Silver Bolt on you!
Sorry, you won't even get close because I'm doing over 700 damage a second, get a triple kill then can use my R again to destroy the rest of the team!
Well let me interrupt!
Sorry Blitz, but I'll just blink away from you then hit my R!
Well, what if I get real close to you and use my knock-up?
Well then, my team will lock you down before you can even get close!
How about me using my ult on you?
Well, that is cute but you're trading a very high cooldown for a very low cooldown.
Well, how about I Vanish and strike you from behind?
Really? I'll just blink away, and then destroy you with my other abilities.

Bring it!

Nice try Kat.
Yeah, that won't work.
I could go on, but I think my point is made.
Lord Dusteon1 votesHint, if you have a blitz he just saves his extremely low cooldown ult to murder kat if she jumps in. If you have a vayne, you just E kat if she jumps in. If your fizz, R into murder kat into E away/Zhonyas. If your shaco, then you are kinda screwed due to no cc, but if you get your stealth hit you could kill her if she blinks in.

Shacco has boxes

You've never played Shaco because if you did, you'd know the delay on his fear effect. You'd be long dead before that delay is over.
