Can we add AD ratios to Katarina's Q and E or just remove them?
I want AD katarina to be a thing and if no one's going to use the AD ratios why not just remove them?

Old kit itself it may be, Katarina not being a AD is the same argument i've had on the old Infinite Crisis (DC MOBA) game that ceased to exist when they had 'Flash' as a champion.
Literally a overpowered kit that could thrive insanely well as a 'AD assassin' and he still did the same as a 'AP assassin too(build move speed by casting abilities, Dash in with his Q attack, W for rapid punches to insane proc several on hit effects plus bonus scaling damage with the 'base autos reduced a bit to 'compensate''. Finish it up with a Ultimate invincible AoE tornado that pretty much scatters everyone and he already has enough move speed stacks to just run away or Q dash out again and repeat it over again).
How does this relate to Katarina? She has a jumper Assassin kit which can play the same means, Q to easy bounce poke targets, W to strike alot of targets and proc that Q's damage bonus stack effect on multiples at once. E to literally 'jump behind' enemies and allies alike for yolo jumps and yolo escapes. With finally a ultimate that only works on enemy champions, but it does a good job blowing stuff up and a passive to let her keep doing it over and over again whenever she gets a kill. Meaning she could even go as far as kill a champ, E onto another enemy champ under turret, Q and W them to kill them then press E again on a minion to get out from under the turret.
Plus have you even count how many AD assassins are in the game vs full AP scaling assassins? Plus im not talking about sub assassins or ones who can long range attack you or scale on both values, i mean champions who either build AP or be extremely unviable (which to my knowledge amounts mostly to Katarina and even though he's called a MarksmenXMage, Kennen might as well be considered one too).
Plus once again, "How many AP champions are mana'less too?" Akali might count, but she tends to mixer AD and AP, with only Kennen and Katarina to my knowledge as the few champions that are AP type and mana'less type of champions.
Point is if League of legends did the same thing infinite crisis did by basically shoving champions of specific roles into specific types (Namely AD covering 'Fighters, Assassins and Marksmen' and AP covering 'Mage, Tanks and Supports'), then League of legends would suffer alot with even 'too many champions with similar kits, similar roles and way too many 'similarities of overlap on how they work).
Plus when you consider Katarina's kit, if any of her skills proc'd on hit, then she'd be pretty brutal with a number of AD based items like Ghost blade letting her hit ridiculously hard, run ridiculous fast and turn that into maybe making it easier for Katarina to pull off Pentakills as it is with a fed Yi and the enemy team forgot to build high armor against Yi.
If you want AD Kat to have all the same strengths and weaknesses as AP Kat, then why don't you just switch to AP Kat instead of waiting for Riot to make them the same?
back in the day i played ad kat only
lierally mained kat got like 400 games on her and then BAM REWORK and you cant do any damage as ad kat. feelsbadman. I tried playing ap but it just wasnt the same and so i hung up my daggers for other champions
kat still does insane damage with AP btw

I say what one guy said one time BEFORE the nerf of AP to 
: Katarina is good only against bots. Think now
The closest ad thing ive done with her is gunblade kat. Grab gunblade and spirits visage and she will never die
Only if talon gets AP ratios on everything lol.
