remove E cast time -OR- increase the amount of CD refund to E on dagger proc. No other assassin has to stand around for 3 seconds waiting for a way to escape except katarina. Zed's lockout from R2 is what, .75 sec? LB can W2 in the same amount of time. Rengar doesnt really have time gates on his abilities, though he used to when Q had a tiiiny little cast time. Talon has a 1 sec CD on his E-- as long as there are walls, his mobility is practically unhindered. Kat is honestly the only mobile assassin I can think of who is locked out of actually being mobile for over 3 seconds and it really feels terrible. I wouldnt dare buff her damage. I seriously think no assassin really needs damage buffs, but god damnit as a devout katarina main for nearly my entire time playing league, she feels clunky, shitty, and extremely vulnerable until she has maxed out E. Some even go so far to max E first after 3 points in Q. I do this, too, most games. It sucks. I have to give up so much damage just to be effective and mobile and not feel like im playing a roblox character.

In the end, I think katarina doesnt need damage buffs. Just... idk, set the E refund to be like 1.5 sec at all levels, instead of scaling 3.0 - 0.8 at levels 1-18(and with E skill level). I wouldnt even mind it if they removed the movespeed from W if it meant I could feel less clunky using my blink ability.

I was main katarina, but the champ was nerf 4 Time and now he can’t be played. I don’t understand why le blanc is not nerfed in this case. But yeah, she need a up or she cant have 50% winrate. Im angry of that, all skilled fun champ is nerfed...
