[Rework] Katarina, the Sinister Blade

Das Kappatal·2/1/2016, 12:30:42 AM·2 votes·1,695 views

Champion Concept

Katarina is an elite assassin who specialises in targeting the strongest points of the enemy team, using speed, grace and artful daggerwork to find her mark.

Resource Management

Katarina now uses Energy. Her energy cap is 400, and regenerates at the normal 10/sec.

Abilities

Voracity (Passive)

Katarina reduces the cooldowns of all of her abilities by 15 seconds and gains 200 Energy whenever an enemy champion dies within 3 seconds of being damaged by her.

Left Hand of Noxus (Passive)

Every 5 minutes, Katarina receives a Death Warrant for the enemy champion with the greatest amount of total gold. If she kills that enemy champion, she receives 200% of the usual gold. If she assists in killing them, she gets 150%. These bonuses also apply to killing spree gold.

Bouncing Blades (Q)

Range: 675 -> 750 Cooldown: 10/9.5/9/8.5/8 Energy: 160/150/140/130/120

Katarina throws a dagger in a straight line in the target direction. If it hits an enemy, it deals 60 / 90 / 120 / 150 / 180 (+ 50% AP) magic damage and marks the target, then bounces up to 4 times, dealing 10% reduced damage per bounce and marking each target.

Katarina's basic attacks and abilities consume the mark, dealing 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 (+ 15% AP) bonus magic damage and restoring 10 Energy.

Sinister Steel (W)

Range: 375 Cooldown: 4 Energy: 100

Katarina whirls her daggers, dealing 50 / 75 / 100 / 125 / 150 (+ 30% AP) magic damage to all nearby enemies. If Sinister Steel consumes a mark from Bouncing Blades, Katarina also gains 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40% bonus movement speed for 1 second.

Shunpo (E)

Range: 700 Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/8 Energy: 80

Katarina blinks to the target unit. If the unit is not a ward, she gains 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 bonus Armor and Magic Resist for 1 second. If the target is an enemy champion, Katarina deals 50 / 75/ 100 / 125 / 150 (+ 30% AP) magic damage to the target. If Shunpo consumes a mark from Bouncing Blades, she gains the bonus Armor and Magic Resist for 3 seconds.

Death Lotus (R)

Range: 750 Cooldown: 80/60/40 Energy: 160/sec

Katarina rapidly spins in place and channels for up to 2.5 seconds, throwing a dagger every 0.25 seconds to each nearby enemy champion in a 90 degree cone in front of her, up to a maximum of 3 at a time, dealing 40 / 60 / 80 (+ 25% AP) magic damage per dagger.

These changes were designed to fit with Katarina's current model and animations, and could be implemented with relatively minor graphical work (mostly for her Bouncing Blades). Please leave feedback.

Energy - No

Left hand of noxus - way too strong and would instantly get nerfed

Death Lotus - cone design feels weird

I feel like what you went with here are changes that didn't need to be changed to begin with. She doesn't need more range on any of her abilities and her ult should never be in a cone.

Lol wut

What on earth possessed you to make this?

Only Ionian champions or those trained in Ionia are able to use energy. Can't give it to just anybody willy nilly.

The Left Hand of Noxus passive is way to overpowered. Draven and TwistedFate both have passives that allow them to get additional gold upon kills, but checks and balances have been put in place to not make their passives over powered.

She has to put herself in harms away to get her ult off, and it having 750 range would make her safer, even if it is in a 90° cone. It being in a 90° cone sounds terrible by itself either way. It is like a Miss Fortune ult with half the range.

Honestly it's not half bad but I do agree with the other guy you went about it wrong

If I did it I would accentuate her core and build on to that ( an assassin with potential to reset her skills multiple times in a fight and leave safely when given the chance.) start with this in mind and work off of that

Passive: Verocity- auto attack and abilities on an enemy champion reduce katarina's basic abilities by Xs. Additionally each skill has a follow up effect. (If you use another skill after you cast a spell the follow up of the first spell will activate)

Q: Bouncing Blades- linear skill shot. If you successfully hit a unit the blade will bounce to up to 5 additional units dealing 10% less damage with each additional unit hit. Marking all units Follow up- upon hitting the unit marked with your Q,using an ability will pop the mark and deal X amount magic damage.

W: Sinister Steel- AOE skill centered around her. Can have up to 2 charges (2.5s cooldown between each use). Katarina will spin with daggers in hand dealing X magic damage. Follow up- using another ability after using this skill will grant katarina X amount of bonus move speed.

E: Shunpo- single target blink. Katarina blinks to a unit dealing X magic damage. Follow up- using an ability after this ablilty will grant you 1.5s of damage reduction.

R: Death Lotus- AOE skill centered around katarina. Katarina spins and throws out a series of daggers to up to 3 diffrent enemy champion. Slightly less damage but lower cooldown. While channeling you may use Shunpo with out canceling her ult. But any other skills will cancel it.

I'm glad you took the initiative to post your idea here on the forums. These types of ideas are the life-blood that make these forums active and fun. That being said, this is absolutely terrible.

Mh, I guess that Katarina can't do her combo at level 6, then. level 3 Q: 140 energy level 1 E: 80 energy level 1 W: 100 energy level 1 R: 160/sec Q + E + W + R costs at least 470 energy (140 + 80 - 10 + 100 + 160).

Also, Katarina jumps behind her target when she uses her E, therefore her ult will miss everytime unless she manages to face the right direction in the smallest amount of time. Really useful.

Sorry, this rework really sucks.

I think left hand of noxus would be great, but it would need to be implemented in a nerfed state as i do think, while not game breaking, it is OP. I think voracity sounds good, but there may be a nerf to it as it essentially retains its power. Turning her Q into a skillshot and bringing back the 10% dammage reduction on bounces will take her back to earlier patches and make her less effective. (im a kat main and i love her <3) Although i think what i would like to see for her ult, is the sheer majority of champions, (almost everyone) can stop it. I think she should retain her 360 degree radius, BUT, deal less with cumulatively reduced scaling, so as she gets more AP the dammage increase is reduced, and a 0.25 second window of invincibility, as most people who are experienced and know about kat, will be able to knock her out of her ultimate, but thats just my opninion.

If kat ult cost 160/sec you need your complete energy to use her ult the complete 2.5 secs and on lvl 18 your q+e+w combo would cost 300 energy but you get only 200 energy on kill what means that you only can kill 1 or 2 enemys before you run out of energy and have to go out of the fight With this rework you have too kill multiple targets with your ult to get the emergy for another ult kat will become a champ where you just press r to make kills because the other abilitys become kind of useless. Because when the enemy team groups up you can kill only 1 target run out of ebergy and die.
