@Riot - Katarina, a simple suggestion to stop the crying.

So many people playing this game perceive this champion to be overpowered. While she does have her strengths (Voracity and Shunpo), she is far from being overpowered.

Why do people think she is overpowered ?

Her passive (less experienced players think it is her ult) allows her to move quickly through team fights grabbing penta and quadra kills better and faster than any other champion.

My simple suggestion to stop the non stop crying that has been going on since her rework:

Kills obtained by Katarina after her passive procs a reset will be awarded to the champion who did the most damage to the deceased champion, while the kill gold would still go to Katarina if she actually landed the killing blow. This change would do nothing to her actual power, but would allow people to see who actually killed them. Without the large number of kills that Katarina garnishes (most of the time steals) in team fights, the public opinion of Katarina would rapidly diminish allowing reasonable changes to be made to her kit.

I believe in a month or two Riot would be able to revert all of her season 5 nerfs and it not actually affect her pick or win rate dramatically for very long. With the exception of her passive, it should be bumped up to 5 seconds so it interacts with item 3026 better and not returned to its old state which was on rare occasion broken.

I believe this simple change could save Riot a lot of work reworking or readjusting her power level every single time the meta favors her.

For the love of Kat

It would be nice if the people voting no would state why this is a bad idea.

It would also be nice if the people voting Kitty Kat skin op, would comment on if this is a good idea or not.

I haven't seen a nerf kat post in months. If any thing she needs some buffs, she is getting stomped on in the current meta.

i actually think shes balanced but her issue is shes resorceless what if they gave her mana or energy? no numbers would need to be tweaked or anything she could stay the champion designed to get pentas but would still need to take a breath from time to time

ive mained kat this season and honestly i feel shes balanced. i say balanced because she has a weak lane phase however she can snowball easily how an assassin should.so learn to call mias , follow her or punish her lane.she can get bullied out of lane so easily and is open to various counters which is cc.that being said she has a tough time taking down tanks even if she gets resets.

No she is fine. Assassins are kept weak for a reason. When you start stacking multiple assassins on the same team (rengar top, katarina mid, kha'zix jungle, for example) the combined burst (usually point and click) of multiple assassins becomes too much to handle for most teams. Until people stop stacking multiple assassins on the same team (which is never going to happen) assassins should be kept in a weak state. Even if an assassin isn't super fed, the base damage and scaling on your abilities is so high that it's never hard to peel in a teamfight.
