ok so im really pissed about this, why did they have to nerf the ult hard, she already has a hard enough time in lane, the ult already is easy to stop and she absolutely needs the damage to do well. Her other ablities already lack luster in damage, i do not see the point in reducing the ult damage, might as well increase her other abilities so she is more balanced and has a little easier time in lane. Give me your opinion guys
PureCancer2 voteswho said that they will nerf her? Ill rip their head of if they do
ModWulf Helhammer4 votesIt's already on the PBE.
Katarina Death Lotus (R) cooldown increased to 90/60/45 from 60/52.5/45 Death Lotus (R) damage reduced to 350/550/750 from 400/575/750

MagwitchOo5 votesIt is in pbe, the ultimate gets reduced damage and higher cooldown at first but the damage/cooldown you get at level 16 is unchanged.
Basically it is a hit to her early game but her late game remains as it was before the change (if she can get fed).
MagwitchOo2 votesHonestly i don't mind it, you can still get fed if you know how to play her, but you won't get fed anymore simply because you chose katarina.
Persephonie3 votesi guess youre right, but i still feel like they didnt need to make her early game even worse for her than it already is

Her early game is already pretty shitty. She totally relies on her team to snowball, by ganking lanes.
Auryiel2 votesthe damage nerf is not what annoys me, it's the 50% cd increase It means you cannot trade ultis in lane and then use a window of opportunity where you have yours and they don't it also means you're not getting a very short cd on your ulti after 2 resets, which completely kills her early skirmishing power
MrBuffington1 votesThe balance team talks about it here. Read the red tracker, boys, arm yourselves with knowledge ;)
