Katarina's passive should be nerfed

If riot were to change katarinas passive she wouldnt be the same champion. I actually came on this board to complain about her too, but i think she just needs cast times and/or reduced range on her e, shun po. hopefully when dfg is removed she might be a little easier to deal with. but right now any champion that builds damage (ANY carry) is completely useless against a katarina. Especially in lower elos

Good idea, now with one of the worse laning phase, nerf her teamfight.

I still think it might be a good change to her if they increased all of her CDs, then making her Q able to make one extra bounce back to her, which then reduces the CDs on Q,W, and E by a % of the total (maybe 25% or something). That way she can still poke for free and have short CDs, but it means that if she wishes to get both she has to pick her targets and trade opportunities correctly. As it stands now, she has all of this power that has no limiting factor or anything which someone would have to practice and master to make effective.

She is almost impossible to shut out of a game because a single team fight clean up by katarina generally gives her around enough gold for a big item or upgrade, which can easily push her strait back into a fed or equivalent position.

Katarina, has a strong laning phase purely because she has no resource or actual mechanics to maximize her potential outside of her resets, but where she shines is in a team fight, where she can blow up a target then reset, then blow up another, then reset, exc, exc. Why she has such a safe and powerful laning phase makes no sense to me. She obviously has a weakness, but taking advantage of that weakness is done completely in the team select screen, not in game.

Honestly this is why i've grown so bored of league recently, because the most important part of the game feels like team select screen and not the active real time choices you have to make in game.
