Katarina thread

0 Hogapu··10 votes·6,738 views

Hi all, first of all I would like to thank Riot for fixing Katarina’s bugs :

  • R not being castable when you have no direct vision on the opponent,
  • Shunpo not resetting auto attack when it kills an unit.

As I used to point out when a champion is buggy, I feel like pointing out when they get fixed is the least I can do.

Now I am here to ask for a Katarina change. I played some games with a Katarina in my team, and it appears that her daggers are close to invisble to her teammates, making it really hard for them to actually understand what she could be planning to do. Even as a Kat main myself I was surprised by some Katarinas move, as I couldnt see her daggers. The change I would suggest is keeping the exact same dagger animation, whether you are playing as, against or with Katarina, for clarity purpose. By the way, there aren’t many champions that have this kind of interaction. I can think of Ekko’s ult, but it only has a different colour.

TL;DR : -thanks for fixing katarina’s bugs -make her dagger have the same animation for opponents and allies.

I really dont think Katarina is an issue as of right now. She has a relatively low playrate, and actully takes skill to shine, which is a great concept imho

Katarina does indeed take skill to play, but against a good kata there is no counterplay. She needs some of that.

haha her low playrate is the only thing that keeps her from being seen as an issue by most players and rioters

just wait until she gets a higher playrate

Enemies see the same thing as you but in Red color. Allies do not need to see your daggers. its fine as it is. So she is fine, in fact, I think she has too much counterplay. even when you are ahead there is so much the enemy can do against you.

The problem is, her allies not being able to see it makes it hard for Kat to be understood by them... her whole gameplay is based on daggers, and it is really disturbing not being able to see them as an ally.

Fix the numerous bugs regarding Kat's daggers and the interaction they have with Yasuo's Windwall.

Also, Instant Shunpo please, no more cast time, I'm currently ripping my hair out whenever I'm popping off and that cast time comes back to bite me.

But yeah, your suggestion would be nice....but I feel like enemies already see Kat's dagger(s) most of the time, same to teammates, the massive circle is a pretty clear indicator lmao.

Yeah, yasuo's windwall seems so unfair to play against as Kat... same goes for Braum's shield, even though it is less common. (dagger falls on the ground and can't be used, it is really a strange one)

I already asked for instant shunpo... a rioter told me it would give her some more power, and she doesn't need it. (it was like 1 year ago if I remember correctly)

The thing is.... allies don't have the huge circle. They only see the actual dagger, not the surrounding red circle. That is what I would like to be changed lol

It's not even that it's unfair, it's that the bugs are so inconsistent and major. Yasuo can block any falling dagger from any direction if he's remotely near it. Furthermore, if he does this the visual indicator for the dagger remains but the dagger disappears.

Braum isn't too bad tbh, but a similar bug does occur.

As for what the Rioter said, that was Meddler. He didn't directly respond to that specifically, he just said that they weren't planning any changes for Katarina. But hey, he didn't use his brain and consider that they could nerf her in other areas to compensate.

Yeah, allies should see the red circle, point taken.

should be in the report a bug thread not gameplay.

a Gameplay suggestion would be like "Remove her AD ratios and give her W spell innate spellvamp instead".

0 Hogapu3 votes

The 1st half should indeed be in the report a bug

The second one, though, directly affects her gameplay as her allies don't see what Katarina does.

(nice idea btw, could start building protobelt instead of gunblade. would love it)
