Katarina (DFG Removal and Bouncing Blades)

Katarina often gets DFG. It's not a must buy on her, but it's often enough that the removal is a nerf to her. I also would like to mention how Katarina's Q feels too strong. If she lanes against someone with no sustain, then her Q spam is pretty annoying to play against, considering that there's not much you can do about it. You could run out of the bounce range, but then you might miss a few CS. You could attempt to trade, but the Katarina is able to jump on you and proc her Q, which means that she'll (usually) win the trade, especially if she dodges something with her shunpo.

DFG really doesn't affect this, so I'm bringing up two completely separate issues.

  1. I think that more of her Initial Q damage should be brought to her Q "pop" and/or her W.
  2. I think that she should receive necessary tweaks to her ulti (and the rest of her kit, where applicable) that compensate for the DFG removal.

Thoughts/opinions?

Imagine if ALL her Q damage went to the proc...maybe then this champion would take skill.

Katarina doesnt need compensation. The recent changes to mages that use mana has made her a beast to be reckoned with
