But all her damage now happens a bit more slowly, Bouncing Blade missile speed slightly reduced and Shunpo now causes her to travel to her target like a shadow in the span of 0.2 sec.
The Goal:
- Katarina's gameplay becomes less explosive.
- Katarina's damage becomes easier for the player to read.
- Katarina's team fighting is severely improved, especially against burst and hard cc (she can still be interrupted).
- Katarina can now ult as a defense to stall out Shunpo cooldown.
What do you think? Would this make Katarina healthier, ruin her or make her overpowered?
's main form of counterplay in most fights is how squishy and interruptible she leaves herself when ulting, and this would negate that. I'd rather she had faster, crisper basic abilities, and less of a dependence on her ult, than the reverse. Kat does need a few changes, especially changes that would allow her opponents to outplay her beyond just poking her to death or hard-CCing her before she pops a champion for her resets, and perhaps that would imply changing her ultimate, but I think the end result should be a kit that gives both Katarina and her opponents more options in a fight, not less.
