Katarina's E after Rework

ByatchQueen·Oct 22, 2016·2 votes·813 views

So, after I watched the spotlight after rework I observed that her E was turned into a dash instead of remaining a blink( like it was until now ) so my question is: in some situations like, for example, being trapped inside of Veigar's E: as normal til now, Shunpo was perfect to get outside the circle, now if you dash through it you will be stuck? So, no escape for kata in this situation beside Flash? Pls explain me thanks:)

It's still a blink. It just has visual effects that say "hey, I went here!".

Given Katarina in lore has no magic or special powers beyond her skill with blades and physical capabilities, it makes sense thematically.

Her lore claims she moves so fast that she manages to actually teleport... You can actually see how it looks in both videos she appears... In the one vs garen you see it clearly how she opens a small portal to pass by, the second you cant see it but hear it open. IT's not explained if magic or just like The Flash, messing up the time and continuum... But if the second was the case then why is she with only 345 MS? ;p

LOL that's not lore... Those are League of Legends videos showing their ABILITIES in game.

Old lore, old skill description. Quit arguing with a person spent their life over Katarina... I most likely know her better than anyone. Especially the fact we got shared personalities... Thanks for annoying me, have a nice evening. Avoid answering to me, I ain't in the mood to be my champion tonight, I would prefer to be a nice person for a change.

Those videos were made before her update, and are purely cinematic.

Twisted Fate can't knock away Fiddles' crows with his magic cards for example. And Fiddles' basic attack would have nothing on Twisted Fate's Gold Card, never mind that basic attacks can't counter each other anyways.

Oh and y'know, Demonblade Tryndamere is only a skin and not the canon character. There's that too.

Both videos were made AFTER her rework, she exists only in the OPENING cinematics Riot made when the game was officially released, before her W and VU update.

So I don't see a point in arguing with me for anything at all at this point of time. She teleports, even her ingame model if slowed down you will see a small portal appearing behind her, where she jumps and she lands on the back of an enemy from a small portal... That's the ingame. Lore wise, she masters a forgotten style named the shunpo style, which allows movement faster than a blink of an eye. WHICH is pretty possible to be a magically enchanced form of magic by blood, which awakes when you lead that limit of speed, so this is why she can only do the shunpo so fast and everything else in normal human speed...

You don't know details, so don't argue... Don't bring me WIki, as a majority of the stuff there are either not added or just wrongly spelled... Plus side, IDC about how you wanna keep arguing. I'm not even in the mood for that...
