I vote we nerf Kat's passive

Glîtchy··2 votes·560 views

Seriously, 15 seconds off all abilities cooldowns? none of them even have 15 seconds, also I know you KAtarina mains, "OMG just get good you %%%got her passive's not the problem, you just suck!"

trust me, if anything make it that her cooldowns are reduced by 25%-50% upon kills or assists, I mean it's far more reasonable then pretty much URF for one champ.

Sure, you can nerf the passive.

Then triple the scaling on her W and E, cut her basic ability cooldowns by 1/3, and make Death Lotus cc immune.

kat is a reset assassin. getting rid of the reset mechanic is probably the worst Idea i have seen on the boards.

So reduction by half is a bad idea instead of personal URF mode? great why don't we say Zed's balanced now?

Although it is bad, you sir do not peruse the boards enough.

its already been hard nerfed to only count for damage in the last 3 seconds rather than last ~13

are we seriously complaining about katarina here?

I think her kit's fine for the most part, just the passive needs to change, I mean 50% reduction upon kills/assists is balanced, because she's a burst champ.

anything that doesn't hard reset at least her basic abilities will dumpster her

her abilities by themselves suck. when they are reset and repeated then the damage adds up and she becomes lethal to an entire team.

Her passive is "reset all her basic abilities and take 15 seconds off her ultimate". That's always been the idea of it. It used to even say that explicitly at one point, just after her rework: "Champion kills or assists reduce Death Lotus's cooldown by 10 seconds and refresh basic abilities. "

Yeah kinda hard to when she bursts you while having void staff + Sorcerer's and Luden's, and no I'm not gonna do Nautilus mid, I don't even think offense Nautilus even works.

So you're building purely offensive items vs kat's? you know your build is supposed to change based off the game, not always build the same items

I play Ahri at Mid, not like tank Ahri works.

I never said build tank, there are these things called defensive options to the mid lane that have MR then there's even this item tht gives a stasis effect. This applies to all champions you never build the same items every game.

There's a reason this topic has -8 votes, not because everyone hates you but because you need to actually listen

Well, if you refuse to get your item 3001, which is a staple first item for any AP vs. AP matchup, then it's clearly not the boards fault..

If you did that she would be literally the worst champion in the game. All her abilities by themselves do nothing. If you took away her resets you would have to buff all her damages by 100% to even be viable.

Well good, Katarina mains don't deserve happiness.

Because Ahri at least has mana to watch out for, Katarina's got no mana, not even energy so she never needs to fall back due to being oom.

macromite1 votes

ahri also has cc and range. both things that kat noticeably lacks.

They already did, used to reset on kill or assist.

You don't understand how the champion is supposed to work if you are making this suggestion. The purpose of her reset is that if she kills a target she can go to the next one. Reducing her CD by 50%, even 70% if you want, is as good as 0%. If she cannot jump to her next target or back to safety right after killing her first target, she's as good as dead. Her resets are not supposed to give her more uptime, they are supposed to let her chain shunpos, and potentially kills.

That is literally the entire point of the champion. That would be like saying "Swain's ult shouldn't turn him into a scary bird monster" or "Braum's shield no longer stops projectiles from going past him to hit his carry."

Have not seen a Katarina player at all around these days. You're just new into fighting her.

They're everywhere in bronze, I play Fizz, goes Katarina, I play Vel, goes Katarina, I go Ahri, goes Katarina, I'd go offense Nautilus if it didnt' come with the price of being squishy as hell.
