This is historically inaccurate; Abraham was acctually in the both with other people when he was assassinated

I must agree. While I do not know everything about her, I have saw the video on the home page on LoL and see that I am going to hate her. Kat is a simple snowball champion that, due to her passive, gets pentakills so easily. Apparently, Riot doesn't know why she is hated nor doesn't see her as OP. She is a weak champion who has a weak laning phase, and going in at the wrong time can butcher her. Yeah, no. While experienced and high elo players will agree with this, everyone else will say no Her laning phase is not bad (though maybe not great) and even when she comes at the wrong time can still get a few kills before dying. Hard cc stops a lot of champions and Kat is not heavily pounded by this then any other champion, but apparently that stomps Kat a lot....

Thanks Riot for making a balance game with perfectly balance champions.

Please post stuff regarding more detail about her update (if more than Riot's 2 minute clip)

If balance was truly their concern, they'd make her use mana because her passives allow for quick/ non-existent cooldowns. I have a joke about Kat, and it goes like this: One time, a Kat main played URF. She couldn't tell the difference.

I own Kat, though I haven't touched her in months, and in the ARURF, I was thinking exactly that. Played Ezreal and e everywhere and ulted twice a minute. Got Syndra and ulted with 9 spheres. Played Ahri and charmed a Garen a whole lane distance (No Freedom for him. Charm, cd, Charm; Walk to Ahri, .01 second of freedom, Walk to Ahri). Kat I felt had no difference. Agreed.

tbh majority of the reworks are way too different for an old player to adjust. ex, graves, nidalee and poppy. I loved mid nidalee with her 1 shot spear and now she's a jungler, same with graves loved him adc...

Midalee can come back maybe

it still works, but it's never been that great. spears are too easy to dodge in lane, but when they come out of the fog of war they become much more reliable.

This is M&G, so balance talk should be frowned upon.

Buuuut I will say new kat is a toooon less bursty. Just looking at her kit mechanics all I see is delay after delay, whereas before all she had to do was dump all her keys at the right moment, now she has to actually worry about where she puts her knives, when she does so, and how to make all that damage (Which she can no longer 100% immediately dump on a single person or more) land without getting herself killed. New kat is going to be all about mobility and fight dancing, going from spot to spot throwing out her damage, maybe picking up a few kills if she gets last hits. But never again will she be the 100-0 in 3 second horror she is currently.

Someone will find a way... :-P

Ark SorcererNov 2, 20161 votes

Indeed. Now she will be an in lane monster who dashes just as much as Yasuo and though you might know where (knives) it will still be hard to do. The thing with Kat was that she needs to be ahead, like Riven. If she doesn't get a kill, then she isn't a huge threat (Squishy squishy marksmen like Cait might disagree) but I mean.... this version seems like she is more mobile and thus harder to catch.

They didn't make her AD so she will probably be in the shitter with all the other AP assassins. Fortunately for me Evelynn is bound by silly things like only being able to build AP or only AD.
