Slight Katarina Buffs Post 6.4@Meddler @Riot

In 5.6 you nerfed Katarina's base health, and base health regen

-Base health regen decreased to 4.5 from 7.7.

While she does have a more decent lane phase now, I think it would be nice to buff her health regen to 5.5-6 health instead of leaving it at 4.5 which feels pretty awful in lane. It isn't a huge buff that will throw her over the top, but I think it will place her in a decent spot where she will be able to survive against poke mages and her zed match up for just a little bit longer. I would also like to propose her E getting a slight buff from the nerf it received in 3.01

  • Damage reduction duration reduced to 1.5 seconds from 3.

Could we change it to a flat 2 seconds or even 1.75 giving her a tiny bit better feeling when she has to do a decisive all in?

These are just slight buffs that would feel good playing Katarina in lane and also during the explosive mid/late games we have, allowing her just a slight better edge on her all-ins, while I don't think these are too frustrating of buffs I may be wrong so please leave your comments and ideas!

She should feel awful in lane, if she gets poked down by the enemy, then she should die or have to back.

Thats what she gets for having insane amounts of AOE bursts and resets for an assassin.

I am not saying she should feel amazing in lane or even strong in lane in the current meta she even loses to lanes that she should go even in like zed or Leblanc which arent burst mages but examples of how far katarina has fallen off. This doesn't change her sustain game early of boots/cloth 4 pots early and I don't think it over buffs her in anyway early too much.

I think its unfair in the early game context to think of Katarina as an explosive assassin with resets, while that may apply mid/late game she is actually quite squishy early and is outburst by champions lux, or champions like xerath. :D but that is my 2 cents.

That's pretty fucking hilarious coming from a Zed main.

Have you even played Zed? Or Katarina?

You seriously cannot compare who has more aoe burst -____- Especially when 60% of Zeds Q damage is reduced by 60% when hitting more then target, and the fact that only one of his E's can do damage (The other will just slow more if its a shadow)
