Old kat was much better imo.. wasnt easy to play, as a lot presumed, she was a bit tricky funny as hell on someone who didnt know how to play her... but deadly and so good on the eye when played by an expert! she was fast.. now she is so slow, i can barely watch her now T_T
Oglaf2 votesHow is "wait until the team fight has spent all CC, use ultimate and gain penta" hard exactly?
ModKnightsKemplar2 votesYou are likely one of the few. This introduced way more counterplay to her, and that's good for both skilled Kat players and opponents. It means she can be stronger in the hands of an expert.
DarianEX2 votesOld kat was so easy to play first time playing her in aram at lvl 6 penta kill. than in norms quads up my bung hole so easy to play ._. her rework requires some strats now and I love that sh*t

on the old one QEWR (Not sure if E or W was shunpo) and you either get a kill or die. Even someone that just started playing her has the same mechanical skill as an expert.
The new one increased her skill floor

That's a load of nonsense. Sure anyone can combo but the speed you do it and how quick you reactions are to your resets are what sets top Katarina players and wannabes apart. Katarina requires far more twitch skill than most champions.

I'm saying the old kat was easy af, not the new one.
It's really, really not hard to press buttons fast -> 
basically every champion except for like 10
Penns1 votes"wasnt easy to play", "when played by an expert" Kappa I think she is way cooler and more fun now, regardless of balance.
Sukishoo1 votesOnly thing I'm glad to see gone is her damage reduction from Shunpo. She never needed that.
EastCoastConcept1 votesWrong. Shes squishy as hell? Also her damage now is hard as hell to even hit, so now you jump in and barely do any damage. Then die because you have no damage reduction, and you cant ward jump out if you needed to.
Sukishoo1 votesShe never needed that. She's an Assassin, they are supposed to be squishy. She wants to dive in, she doesn't need this power to stay there and be unstoppable no other assassin could do anything like that. They should be risky champs that have a way in but don't need a way out or to be unkillable with 3 hp.
ItsOrval1 votesShes been like this for one day. You can not already have an opinion on her lol.

You can play 5 games of her and see the difference, regardless of how long she's been released. She's definitely more clunky, she doesn't feel as smooth to play. Her W as a MS boost feels very awkward and doesn't fit Kat well.
EastCoastConcept1 votesIf you mained katarina, like I always have, you can easily see the ins and outs of any rework. Yes even in one day. As a seasoned Kat player too, I think her new kit is absolutely terrible.
Attticus Finch1 votesOld Katarina was so ridicuously easy and binary to play that it was impossible to balance her- thus she was stuck being shit.
