KAT LANE NERF Increase Kat's Q Cooldown. Consuming the Mark now reduces Q cooldown by a set amount.

So she can't infinitely poke you with Q, or safe farm with low-to-no risk.

The cooldown would basically be: #New Cooldown = Current Cooldown + No. of seconds reduced by consuming mark

NOTE: Cooldown can only be reduced from consuming 1 mark. Additional marks do not further reduce Q cooldown.

LOL Kat's lane is garbage, she relies entirely on roaming bot and getting a double.

Get in range for a Q gets you close enough to take a big hit from any mage who is paying attention.

Go look at her base cooldowns.

She's literally the weakest assassin in the game. She's as bad as shaco at mid lane.

At least shaco can serve ultimates because of his R negating some damage/all damage Kats had literally every one of her abilites nerfed since the rework because whiney casuals like you still don't know how to run exhaust or CC her.

And I wouldn't exactly call a Plat III a 'casual' - especially not while I'm hiding on a smurf account.

I don't want to argue with you If you were even half decent you'd know theres at least half a dozen mid lane hard NOT SOFT... HARD counters to katarina.

There's also alot of champions that simply outrange her so they don't have to even interact with her. That may or may not be considered a counter... imo Its not its just a farm game.

Passive play doesn't win ranked though so thats probably why you consider your low mmr myself so annoyed by kat because you play passive.

Should probably pick up champions that are aggressive in lane and rewarding successful aggressive play.

I'd look up your mmr but you probably already know that it needs work before you're 2.4k+ where people actually know more than 2 champions in a role and can just outpick half the enemy team.

Also stats mean nothing to me, so don't use them to argue. I go off actual gameplay I've experienced not some bullshit you can look up ;]

you could be 30% winrate and I wouldn't care because stats mean nothing. The only thing that matters is that you, as of right now, don't understand how to play against kat and should learn before you ask for nerfs like most casuals who know barely anything about a moba.

There are plenty of websites that offer counter champion picks. And even explain it to you in great detail. I'd suggest you go to these websites and read. Before bitching.

I'm not even saying that she has a good lane phase. I'm just saying that, considering her mid and late game, her early game could be made weaker.

The cooldown doesn't even change if you use it properly. This change just adds more decision making.

ImHerVoice4 votes

you still don't get it. You're still bitching I bet you haven't even taken my thought out advice and looked up any guides or anything. Not a single second of your time was spent considering the fact that you are wrong and should look up a guide or two to give you a good direction on how to deal with katarina through the entire match not just lanephase.

Is that what you kids call nerfing now a days "Decision making" you realize by removing something froma kit you actually REMOVE decision making? You know that right? You give them less options in a fight teamfight.

Maybe you should really take the time to just understand what you're even saying.

I'm done talking to you. I've given you advice on where to go and what you need to do. Continue to be ignorant and continue to be a plague on the league community by being someone who complains instead of a self efficient problem solver like most humans try to be in their lifetime.

Please don't reply because I'm not going to respond. Good luck with league and ranked and everything you try to do in life.

Where in this thread do you see me complaining?

I intentionally leave Kat open when I'm captain so I can counterpick it and get fed. ROFL

her early game IS ALREADY weak. wake up

Enchanté2 votes

you're saying you're plat? and you complain about Katarina?? I think this is funny

Plat's pretty casual, hell anything lower than Master is pretty casual. Even a lot of players don't take masters or challengers too seriously.

Kat's early game has already been nerfed 3 times in a row with the reduced base damage on her ult, the significantly increased cd of her ult, and her base health regen taking a huge hit.

On top of this, she's been nerfed by the removal of DFG, one of her strongest options that Luden's doesn't really replace as well, and her passive was nerfed from all assists giving resets to only assists within 3 seconds of the enemy dieing.

She has received many nerfs despite not seeing any play at a professional level because random soloqueue players whined about her. There's a reason she isn't picked against professional teams, she relies entirely on her opponents being too bad to lane or ward properly. And instead of learning to lane or ward properly in your own games against her, you'd rather whine at riot to just remove her as an option so you don't have to get better and grow as a player. So why even play a competitive mode if you're not going to try to improve and instead just complain about every hurdle that's thrown in your way instead of overcoming it?

oh my gosh.. another hater?

What's with all the Katarina haters... she's so weak against CC and usually only bronzies can't cc properly and WILL complain "OMAGOSH KATARINA IS SO FKING OP RITO PLS NERF" seriously just stop. She's already nerfed twice pretty recently. Look Akali's Q. cooldown 4 seconds and detonating mark deals FARRR more damage than Katarina's mark.

look at Malzahar and his ult. And you call Katarina broken? She's so weak against a laner with cc want some examples?

  • Diana= easy cc Kat ult with E and she has shield with tons of burst
  • Lissandra= easy ult and poke Katarina harder even tho she's behind minions
  • Viktor= easy cc with ult or w within 1.5 seconds and his Q grants shield counter Katarina's Q
  • Malzahar= cmon you still want to ask?
  • Fizz= SHARK *knockup. untargetable and walk away from Kata ult.
  • Ahri= I will make you love me. triple flash ult. Q movement speed away. many more damn cc mid laners

please dont complain anymore

She has a high winrate across all elos

Enchanté1 votes

is 50% so high that Kat needs a nerf? I dont think so. 50% is the best win rate that tells Riot that a champion is balanced enough.

She really isn't that hard to beat in lane as it is. She snowballs hard but her damage is meh in lane and if you call out her roams she won't be that strong which is why pros tend to stay away from her in addition to being allergic to CC.
