Katarina: Why is this Champ still so broken?

TheUndesirableJg··2 votes·3,490 views

Ok, I know what you're all thinking, you've heard this all before and Riot heard it and nerfed the camp. But let me tell you a little story about what just happened in the game I just had. Katarina was on the other team and she was facing an ezreal mid on our team. My lane, bot lane, was destroying a jinx/thresh bot as i was blitz and my adc was miss fortune. This katarina started out 1/6 against the ezreal, 1/6. As the game progressed I started to notice that somehow she had made her way to 6/6 from 1 and 6.... Ok no big deal. My lane was me as a 4/1/14 blitz and ,y miss fortune was 9/0 at one point. The game ended with katarina going from 1/6 to 26/12. How the hell does that even happen? Why is this champ the way she is. I am writing this because I want katarina to we reworked and nerfed into the ground. There's no way a 1/6 kat should end 26/12. Most ridiculously overpowered champ ever and she needs to be nerfed. Riot please nerf Kat, please. Comment if you agree.

Blitz has 3 moves to CC her... Kata is really bad choice when Alistar, Nautilus, Blitz, Thresh, Braum, Leona are popular and these champs have way higher pickrate than her.

Look. None of this matters. The point is, it doesn't matter how fed a team gets, no one should be able to kill someone so fast no level of skill can stop it. That's unhealthy gameplay.

That's what the assassin rework is about m8.

Katarina is honestly really weak if you know what you're doing. I'm going to go ahead and assume that your Ezreal didn't know what to do.

Katarina excels agaisnt unorganized teams or those that lack CC, since you were Blitz I assume it was the former.

She can get a bit ridiculous when ahead, but she's a pub choice for the reasons stated above.

I votes yes for a rework/nerf. the simple fact is people never seem to mention that there are other people on the team, and she doesn't even have to kill them to for her passive to go off.

To put this into perspective, she might go in, and her initial burst fails. that's okay because her initial burst has taken at least 1/4 of a full tanks hp. (what if it was a more squishy) so the rest of the team all ins and gets a kill. Instantly, Kat is back in the game.

All the other champions get one burst, and they are done. Kat seems to be the only one that can continuesly get reset. not to mention she only needs on item to start snow balling.

Im not saying nerf her to the ground, but she needs adjustment. The resets are what makes katarina kat, but does she have to do the same damage each time her passive procs?

even if her damage was reduced each time her passive was procced, i think that would be a big step to balancing her inline with other assassins.
