Katarina is OP

Skyhler·Aug 30, 2016·5 votes·420 views

First of all, I just want to say that I hope Riot is reading this, and if they are. I just want to point out that Katarina is too strong at the moment. I have played 2 games against her today, and in both games, she literally slaughtered our team within moments. Literally, q, e and ult, and for some reason she does RIDICULOUS amounts of damage. To the point where she gets Pentakills, and NO amount of MR or Health can resist it. I understand that she may have been fed, but I just think that she is due a nerf, and quite a substantial one as I see that she carries a game too often, and can't die. Really strong, and not even that squishy.

Again, I understand that this may seem toxic, but please Riot, I urge you to have your professionals play her themselves, and witness how ridiculously powerful she actually is.

Thanks for reading, Skyhler

Bad early game, ult can be stopped, very predictable, squishy, can only 100-0 if building full damage.

How is her ult destination very predictable? She chooses a champion, even in teamfights, she literally built 2 AP items, and slaughtered our team. Oh, and 1 Mag Pen item as well.

Bouncing blades + Shunpo + whirl thing + ult...that's her only combo. Seriously have to work on your positioning.

Thats true... as a Kat main, she only has one very predictable combo. She's very feast or famine.

Hmm alright, maybe I just completely suck as a player haha. But it's one of those moments where we're playing, I'm supporting my ADC, see that Kat roamed and has come in for a gank, I try and snare her, but by then it's too late. Maybe just need to encourage my adc, (myself as well) to be a bit more careful when Kat disappears from the mini-map.

It's also your mid laner's problem for not signalling the MIA whether she has backed or not... ALWAYS PING MIA Just in case :)

I'm sure that her ult can only be stopped if stunned though, is that correct?

Stunned, silence, knockup, zhonya's, etc. If your whole team doesn't have one member with hard cc then I don't know how you can win against ANY champion.

+1. 9/10 times Kat carries

SkyhlerAug 30, 20161 votes

I've seen her carry more games than that :/

.... You know she is already slated to be reworked in the assassin update? ....

SkyhlerAug 30, 20161 votes

Hopefully they change her abilities to ensure they aren't broken. Literally, she had 2 AP items, and a Mag Pen, and she slaughtered our team. Even our tank got slaughtered, and they had MR.

The posts I've seen about it is that they want to make her combo take longer to execute in order to enable counter play, but still very rewarding when done correctly.

Most likely however, she will be strong when the update goes live, then after a few weeks they will tone her down.

So, don't expect to see her disappear when it happens, but I would expect that it won't be as easy for her to instantly erase your entire team.

SkyhlerAug 30, 20161 votes

I sincerely hope so. I know she's supposed to be as another comment said feast or famine, but the damage she can dish out was relentless. Oh well, looking forward to the update :D

Divine WindsAug 30, 20161 votes

Kat has a predictable combo, very squishy, and easy to shutdown with cc. She is a feast or famine champ, and if starved pre 6, she becomes useless. Just build tank or stack MR.

SkyhlerAug 30, 20161 votes

Fair enough, I take it once she's fed, she's overly strong. Maybe I've just seen fed Kats as opposed to starved Kats.
