Tanks became more popular, making her job harder on multiple levels: less people for her to burst, hard CC a lot more prevalent.

Also she got nerfs

W 60% AD ratio and ult has higher ad ration 17.5% more (37.5% AD ratio)

also... her spin is 4 sec CD @ 45% cdr is a whopping 2.2 sec per spin.... manaless...

what happened is riot decided shes the only melee asn that isnt allowed to have melee asn defense stats and isnt allowed to have early game dmg outside of procing her dagger which gets her killed for doing cause of her abysmal defense stats. that and all her scaling on her abilities are favored by melee ad asn items instead of ap items and riot refuses to admit theres enough CC in the game now to counter her.

Remember "Nerf the champ and then the item?" Katarina is a good example of that. Only her item was item 3285.

Katarina falls off late game. Now if she's poked in lane. It's rip damage. It's now a lot harder to play her unless you're ahead in gold by 600 or above

  • She was bad
  • She got a mini-rework which ended up as a nerf
  • She got nerfed multiple times
  • She got some buffs which were smaller than the nerfs
  • She got nerfed multiple times
  • She got nerfed multiple times

As far as I know, Lee Sin is the only champion who has ever survived that kind of brutality, and he got multiple buffs after starting out bad.

Katarina is fine I played her to diamond last season, she is getting some buffs soon to her Q so you will probably hear people complaining about her again soon.

And please don't go spamming AD kat because that guy hit master playing it :p its not that good, he is just a good kat and would probably be challenger playing AP.
