Katarina gameplay update concept

Blade Runner·9/12/2018, 1:59:10 PM·3 votes·1,430 views

Hello! Im a Katarina main and she's my second favorite champion in the game, but she's really outdated and the assassins rework did not improve things.

Here are my ideas for a Kat gameplay rework which keeps stuff from this current version.

Passive: Still the same for the most part, however, when Kat picks a dagger, her next auto will be a whip attack in a cone that does magic damage, similiar to Diana.

Q: Katarina will throw a Q in the desired direction (Skillshot with quite some width) and It'll leave a dagger there, if the dagger hits an enemy during the travel time, it will deal magic damage and bounce up to 2 more targets if there are, prioritizing champions, if not, the nearby enemies. The dagger will always reach the desired position at the same time, even if it hits enemies.

W: Whenever Katarina picks a dagger, she gains a stack of 'Sinister steel' (up to 3 scaling with the ability level). She can use one of the stacks to do magic damage around her and gaining a burst of movement speed. If she doesn't have any stacks, her W will throw a dagger on herself and gain the movement speed burst, she will be able to pick the dagger to use her sinister steel. There will be a cooldown between each W cast.

E: Still the same, but without cast time.

R: Still the same, but with some number adjustments.

Let me know what you think! <3 [katarina-love]

If the W sinister steel spin is fully stacked to 3 does that mean the next three times you press W you will spin instantly instead of throwing a dagger in the air and waiting it to drop? Also does her passive whip attack do extra damage and have a cool down like Diana’s?

The w mechanic sounds interesting and fun but the passive add on sounds a little op. She technically already has a double passive with the -15 sec on cd's on kill or assist and the dagger mechanic as well so adding more to her passive will leave non kat players confused. Other then that it sounds like a fun rework.
