Nevermind that Fizz and Yasuo exist, better rework Katarina!!!

When I first started playing, I was really passionate about the game and really wanted to partake in what went on. However, in the recent years, I have lost that passion due to unreasonable changes and the fact that Riot does not really value the opinions of its players.

There are many champions that were very original and amazing but have received a rework. While the rework was done to "better fit" the champion into the meta, it ruined it for the true fans of what that champion stood for. Once Riot makes a decision, they stick to it, disregarding any feedback from their players.

There are also many unbalanced champions at the moment, but Riot's excuse to that is that they're "high skill capped" champions". Examples are Yasuo and Fizz. Yasuo has, although he does require a bit of skill to play, has way too many utilities. He can walk around until he receives a shield which almost cancels out the damage from attack he receives, he has a spammable dash, low cool downs, armor penetration, easy to obtain critical damage, a wall that blocks ranged attacks, and the list goes on.

Fizz is similar to Yasuo in the sense that he has too many utilities, however, his playing style is a lot more simpler and he is more of a one trick pony. In order to compensate for the "one trick pony" style of play, Riot has made FIzz's damage output way too high and have made Fizz really hard to kill. He literally throws his ult, and even if he misses, Fizz's dash and combo is still enough to almost 1 hit champions with their magic resist items in hand. After dashing in and taking a kill, he just troll poles away as if nothing ever happened. Not so much skill here...

But all this is okay, despite all the broken mechanics, we better rework Katarina... again! Katarina is a high skill champion and she's more easy to counter than Fizz and Yasuo. But that doesn't matter, Riot isn't looking to fix broken assassins or champs, they're just looking to do as they please.

Also, I would like to congratulate Riot for destroying all of the other champions in the past, whom I have come to appreciate, such as Ashe, AP Miss Fortune, Mordekaiser, pre - rework Kat, and Shen. Your rework on them sure did increase their win rates and made a lot more people play them!... Just kidding.

Honestly I think it's mostly Pick rate.

Cause Fizz gets play, Yas gets play. Kat DOES NOT lol

they dont consider Yasuo an assassin and Fizz would have got one if there was a 5th slot

Also my experience. At this point I'm just looking for the champ that is most likely to be ignored by Riot for a long period of time. If they're ignored, they won't get fucked up in a "rework."

Lissandra seems like the safest bet.

Kat's actually in a worse place from a design standpoint than either fizz or Yasuo. Fizz is only a problem because of his E. Yas is a problem because of how he scales with items.

Kat's a problem because she's a giant snowball.

If she gets ahead, she dominates the game due to resets with instantaneous point and click burst that includes a fairly large amount of AOE in teamfights (where she can get resets and chain kill the fight to a win relatively easily if she's ahead), while Fizz and Yasuo can be managed due to their inability to kill more than one target at a time (so long as people aren't stacking), and the fact that most, or all, of their damage is avoidable.

Kat is possibly the most extreme case of a feast/famine play pattern, which makes for a poor experience for either the kat player or her opponents and/or her teammates in any given game.

Sadly, they are apparently doubling down on her feast/famine play pattern and resets with AOE spells, while also trying to buff her laning, so I'm expecting her to be released in a rather OP state, then be promptly nerfed into obscurity again until they next look to rework her due to the awful experience she creates.
