Akali got nerfed because why? Akali was perfectly healthy. Goes in kills a target, stealths. Akali has a q that does 90% ap that only procs off auto attacks. Katarina has a q that scales off 60% ap that can hit 5 targets and procs off a no cast-time aoe ability that also gives her movement speed. Akali has an aoe ability that does little damage and does nothing while also having a cast time. Both have weak laning phases, but only one has an actual resource while the other just has cooldowns. Katarina gets 1 kill with jungler help. The game is over. In 5 seconds Katarina can wipe out 5 people. In 6 seconds Akali can kill 1 and then has to stealth, leaving her vulnerable. Katarina just mashes the E and W keys until all 5 are dead. Katarina's abilities do 375% ap total if each is used once. Akali's abilities do 270% ap if each q and e are used once and if r is used 3 times. She deals 360% if q is used twice. If you mash keys in a random order with akali you won't be able to kill your target. If you mash keys with katarina you will be able to kill everyone. Akali needs timing, Katarina needs a low health target. Katarina's combo, qewreqeqeqeq deals 635% ap total damage if only one target is hit at a time. In reality it will be around or over 900% ap. No mage in the game or ap assassin can match that.

Righhhhhtttt, Completely nothing to do with her ability to keep up with a running opponent, a Q that proc'd off her E pre-nerf, btw, you messed your facts up, consistent damage, and ability to hide in a cloak with Invis until your Q and E are off cd to repeat the same damage you did 7 seconds ago. Cuz that's what made her balanced right?

Yes, many can.

Fiddlesticks immediately comes to mind, as his ideal QWER rotation does double that of Katarina's. Kat basically needs 4 kills to surpass it, and Fiddlesticks can chain Drain together perpetually with ~eh CDR, so it's not like he's stopped doing damage after his initial rotation.

Teemo's minefiled, AS Kayle, Swain, Mordekaiser possessing a decent AD, an Annie who can just keep her Tibbers alive for a respectable time, and pro-bait tactics Singed can all out-damage Kat as well, and those are just the first APs that came to my mind.

Finally, Katarina's passive is set up in the same way Lissandra's passive is set up in. Kat actually has to get re-sets to match the damage of most a wide range of champions.
