With the new runes there is so much free damage. Her ulti is a joke now.... just shreds everything and everyone. Kat needs a nerf, just like Pyke does. I have no idea what the 'balance team' is thinking....
Oh my god dude kat sucks for 99% of people who play her because they can't even reset shunpo.
if you're losing to katarinas then you're not very good at the game
Kat is one of the best champions in aram tbh
Katarina is either garbage or winning teamfights 1 vs 5, if you get unlucky and get a team with almost no CC, yeah no Katarina will reck your shit and you will lose, if you got allot of CC however she usually gets foderised
She's not that big of a deal. I don't think she necessarily needs damage buffs (+5% isn't that bad though) but the reduced damage taken is fine in my opinion. She's really situational for the most part. If you're unlucky and don't have an Exhaust or decent lockdown on your team she's going to faceroll you like Yi does. If you do have at least one of those then you aren't really in much danger as a team. She just turns into a regular annoying assassin and picks people off. She doesn't scale all that hard into the game and she has to get kills for damage resets so one MR or Health item goes a long way.
I'm surprised you're complaining about +5% on Katarina with way bigger offenders just sitting around, like Kai'Sa, LeBlanc and Qiyana at +12%, Evelynn at +15%, Kha'Zix at +8% or Shyvana also at 5%. Not even including the damage reductions on them.
Eh, even as a Kat main I kinda think Kat isn't great in ARAM. Like, she's not buff worthy, but she's also not nerf worthy.
I'd say poke+heal champs are the main concern in ARAM now. It should also be noted that her ult is the most underwhelming part of her, if you think it's broken you probably need to revise your gameplay.
But kat's like awful in aram no?
Just wanna ask about "her ult... just shreds everything and everyone".
What about the new runes gave her ult more damage lol?
katarinas a weak champ in summoners rift pls buff
Are they doing that? Riot seem to not understand that just because they have a low win rate in ARAM doesn't mean they lack damage. There is no reason Akali needs 18% bonus damage or Nocturne needs 12%. When did they ever have issues about killing someone? What they have issues with is surviving once they do pop someone as the rest of the team dogpile them. But Akali skill losses most the time. It's like her play style just doesn't suit ARAM and no amount of buffs will sort that unless it's truely a joke.
I'd like Rito to stay away from ARAM. There are strong champs and there are weak champs - but there are times to play any of them. Overall game balance is welcome (let's assume it's done well, haha) if champs are just plain too powerful, but I don't personally like to see changes for ARAM specifically.
I'm sure there will be people who disagree - I've actually not wanted bans in ARAM and am glad they're gone.
It's important to note that the randomness is a balancing mechanic in the game; there are comps who have high chance to win and are diffult to win against (IT IS POSSIBLE, THOUGH!).
The two biggest reasons people lose games in ARAM is that none of them want to play helpful champs, such as tanks, or they give up before the match is decided (which is precisely when a nexus blows up).
My thanks to the people who mentioned MMR, this made me check mine.
Just gonna leave this here https://u.gg/lol/champions/katarina/build?queueType=normal_aram
She is really not good in ARAM. She provides zero safe waveclear and most of her damage is in her scalings, which she rarely gets to take advantage of because of how quickly ARAM games end. If your comp has zero CC then Kat isn't the only champ that would roll you.
As I said when they first started buffing/nerfing champions in ARAM they are going about it in a completely idiotic way. Champions like Kat probably have a lower win rate because people don't know WTF they are doing and she isn't a champ you can just easily pick up with no experience and play well. Buffing her damage or reducing the damage she takes probably won't do much to help a person that has never played her before but will make a Kat main even more of a god.
The person who is messing with ARAM balance doesn't know wtf they are doing and should probably be fired.
I don't think she'll be that much of a problem
