Katarina rework sucks (my opinion)

(I don't want peaplo reading this that don't understand shit about her) The reason I write this is because I think that the rework ruined her, ok wow she got a amazing new awesome looking playstyle but that's it, you won't be able too burst peaplo down like before because you need to "setup too kill" like wtf I don't care about a awesome new cool looking kit if her damage output has been nerfed like, it will take alot more time too kill someone you can't flash q,e,w anymore since her q passive has been removed and the dumbass w that peaplo can avoid (if they play smart) she should've stayed untouched she should've been a minor update. Evelynn should've took her place instead nobody was asking for this and btw riot "Queen of pentakills" not anymore :) You took away what she was most known for ty, riot for nothing.

I've played the reworked kat a bit, and I have 1.13 million mastery on Katarina atm At first i absolutely hated it, but playing it a bit more there is a lot of outplay potential. However you can't go in with the same button combos like the old kat and expect the same results.

Riot brought in Scarra, a former pro player who is known for playing katarina, to play test and offer suggestions on her kit. During the rework he had alot of input. Not only was he a very skilled player but he has a ton of knowledge about the game and specifically Katarina. If he and riot are happy with the direction katarina is going then I will be too. :)

Oh no, she takes skill now. How dare Riot make Katarina harder?!

Gee, I wonder if they removed it because any time she was decent she was way to consistent at killing everyone regardless of opportunity...

As someone who enjoys playing Kat as well I welcome this rework. Katarina herself was not a difficult champion to use at all, all you had to know was when and when not to enter a team fight....that's about it. Her playstyle was very 1 dimensional (you wait for the cc to be used then use your combo on the weakest target then rinse and repeat.) Her rework has made her A LOT more fun to play and she is pretty flashy. I can't wait to see the plays she can do when people get used to her it should be nuts.

As the game continues to grow and change, the simple mechanics that make some champions easy to play, have slowly started to fade away especially from the professional and high level stages.

These simple mechanics make champions very linear and predictable (Annie, Kat, Yi, ect).

These welcomed changes will increase skill cap for champions that were considered dead in high level play.

The reason you could "flash q,e,w" and kill everything is because you were more than likely playing in a lower elo or non-organized team setting.

This change will be for the better
