someone suggested this in the mega thread against changing fiora's name but it got lost in the tons of comments, but while " mistress of the blade" is not fitting for fiora, it fits perfectly for kat, as opposed to "the sinister blade". As someone who in the past year has played 80 percent of his games as kat, my idea/fantasy of kat is a sexy assasin, who kills her targets with swift grace and sexy style. Much like fiora, but in her case, with much more sexual overtones. Her current title of sinister blade suggests an evil entity that is foreboding and cruel, much more fitting to aatrox now that i think of it than kat. Anyways, Im petitioning for riot to change kat's title from the sinister blade to mistress of the blade

tl:dr change kats title from "the sinister blade" to "mistress of the blade"

But Kat isn't really about using her sexual appeal to assassinate people.

The term in general is a hard sell for anyone who isn't a harlot, unfortunately. Mistress is the feminine analogue of 'Master', but due to societal convention, this equivalency isn't there. Other meanings have co-opted the word to something completely different, thus the problem it currently faces.

For Katarina specifically, she isn't a ... unparalleled bladeswoman, persay. She's a ruthless assassin - more than that, even. Her voracity for violence is so great it's an identifying hallmark in a society full of incredibly violent people. 'The Sinister Blade' is perfect, in that context, because it conveys everything Noxians need to understand. Were she designed in a different time period, you might imagine her to have something closer to Talon's aesthetic than her classical incarnation, really.

She's gonna kill people sexily? Well, I'm just gonna wait until she turns into a snake then.

Eh, not really. Kat is just an assassin. She's not about the 'sexy' or the 'grace'. All she cares about is killing her target. 'Mistress of the blade' sounds like some one refined, someone dedicated to the sword. That's not Katarina. 'The sinister blade' defines her quite accurately. She isn't the warrior who will rush at you in battle. She's the knife in the dark, the unseen dagger, the sinister, and deadliest, blade.

I know she's this unintended sex symbol for League, and honestly it's a part of why I like her, but I prefer it if she were to keep her old title. Mistress of the Blade doesn't even make much sense. She loves a crapton of blades. Eve can have Mistress of Sorrow or something.

Riot is clearly trying to remove attractiveness from Katarina, look at what they did to her base splash. The glory of Noxus now looks like an addict.

That actually makes sense lol

Also calling her Mistress of the blade implies married and married to who carried the name blade... so oedipus much?

I'd say mistress of the blades(the S should be added since Katarina is about using lots of blades) would fit Katarina,but I disagree about katarina not being sinister.

I mean sure katarina looks sexy while killing people,but she doesn't do that on purpose. Katarina loves violence,she loves killing,she loves her job.She is a professional sure(and she also wouldn't torture someone for fun),but she is also a bit sadistic,which does fit her title.

Whenever i see katarina kill people she doesnt look sexy to me, btw garen main here, she looks like shes out for blood. It foesnt look graceful it looks efficient. Quick and efficient killing. She is all about assassinating her target with quick efficient attacks. Theyre ruthless meant to kill and so sinister, so her current title fits her figjting style and.fits her thematically.

It fits Irelia more. Better than "Will of the Blades" anyway.

Turning sexiness into a power set is a slippery slope of character development.

We already have Ahri.

Katarina has always been the kinky one.

Because everyone thinks Riot is trying to sexualize champion. Or at least the insecure females that play league do.
