Katarina needs to be buffed.

Katarina is very weak right now and needs alot of changes to make her good again.

Here is what I think would make her a viable pick again:

Passive: Champion kills or assists reset Katarina's spells entirely.

Q: Increase damage to: 80 / 95 / 115 / 150 / 175 (+50% AP), Bonus magic damage increased to 30 / 50 / 75 / 90 / 125 (+30% AP)

Why does Katarina's W even scale with AD?

W: Increase damage to: 50 / 85 / 125 / 175 / 210 (+75% AP)

Why was Katarina's E even nerfed?

E: Katarina blinks to the target unit or allied ward and reduces incoming damage by 75% for 3.5 seconds. Increase damage to: 40 / 70 / 100 / 130 / 160 (+50% AP)

R: Katarina rapidly spins in place and channels for 2.5 seconds, throwing a dagger every 0.25 seconds to each nearby enemy champion, up to a maximum of 3 at a time, dealing them magic damage and applying Grievous Wounds for 3 seconds, and stunning each enemy for 1.5 seconds. Damage per dagger increase to: 55 / 85 / 125 (+50% AP)

Now people who've spent years on mastering Katarina can finally play a viable champion again.

Only after they give actual counterplay to her abilities.

So the total damage on her level 3 ult is 1250(+500% AP) and stuns everyone hit for 4 seconds, and her E makes her pretty much unkillable for 3.5 seconds after casting?

Are you seeing what's wrong with this?

Pentarina Only1 votes

No... if the damage is crazy just stun her.

Prospector Pete2 votes

LMAO! You can't stun her because she's just stunned you for 4 seconds!

summoner 1 the most underrated summoner spell in the game.

Seriously these changes aren't OP at all. There are tons of counter play to it.

She still waiting for her nerfs, thank you for reminding us.

Pentarina Only3 votes

Please no more nerfs to Katarina. Riot already nerfed her into the ground.

not enough, have you noticed how much more healtiher lol has become without her in the game?

I love katarina ^ hence the name, but as much as i would LOVE katarina buffs, i know for a fact riot is not gonna touch her without

  1. getting terrible response from most of the player base
  2. repeatedly nerfing her right after Sure shes not in the best spot right now, but shes certainly not the mid lane assassin that needs work... (EHHHEM AKALI) I would rather her not get buffs and everyone forget about her instead of giving her buffs and then nerfing the shit out of her for 5 patches after. I'm still going to play this champion regardless because shes the reason i play the game but i mean i think those buffs are too much

Yeah I unfortunately think with the current meta, if anything they would re-work katarina's kit completely.

With patch 5.16 I think she is just un-playable at the moment.

Not unplayable, just some matchups are stronger than others

If her Q was turned into a skill shot, I wouldn't care if her W got a slight damage buff.

If they turned her Q into a skill shot Riot better buff her Q like crazy.

if q was a skill shot it would probable be buffed to compensate honestly. which im 100% ok with. This isn't due to it being weak but because most point N Clicks that turn into skill shots get buffs

Linna Excel1 votes

I'm fine with some point and click skills. However I think the bounce effect is a bit much. If they want it to hit multiple targets then it might be better if it required some skill.

Even if it's troll, it's a very bad one. At least you could add "kappa" at the end of your post.
