Are you kidding me with these changes?
I hate
just as much as the next person, but what the hell are these pointless
nerfs on Katarina? Does anyone remember the state Yasuo was in after these exact nerfs? He has the same damage and the same mechanics laning phase but now you lose as Yasuo sometimes because you can't deplete their health as fast as they can deplete yours. That's just unheathly changes on an already unheathly champ. Katarina changes should be focused on her kit, not her health because she is too reliable early-mid game.
What I am not understanding is what Katarina is supposed to be. Kat is a huge AoE mage with assassin-like mobility and with an assassin kit that is her strongest after she makes a kill/assist. Sorry Riot, I thought assassins were designed to burst 1/2 champions and have no 100% reliable escape, leave WEAKEST after a kill, not penta-kill an entire team and walk out. She's strongest when she GETS a kill, not the other way around, and as an assassin you can bet with enough damage and health in a fight she just moves onto the next target. Wasn't that the point of the much needed
changes? To stop him from dueling 2-3 people, carrying like an ADC god, and narrow his role to burst better and on about one person? Shouldn't Riot just rework her passive so that she doesn't rely on it so heavily to escape after an assassination and so it's not so dumb?
I don't think anyone wants to effectively nerf Katarina, I think I just wish Katarina to be a pure burst assassin, not so team-burst assassin.
