I noticed since the assassin rework Sandstorm Kat doesn't have those sand effects when she uses skills like I see in old skin spotlights for the skin. (ex:the shunpo doesn't have that cool sandy after effect anymore) It would be really cool if Riot can give her back those effects. With the rework it just made the skin a bit less special. Or is there a reason they were removed...?
What if her ult looked like a sand tornado?
Deserve Sandstorm skins as well, fit the theme.
They were hardly noticeable honestly. It would be cool if they gave that skin some decent particle effects as the model on that skin is one of my favorites for her. They could either make actually noticeable sand effects or they could give it yellow-golden effects similar to ekko's. I'd be fine with either one.
EDIT: Sandstorm Kat also has the unique flipping animation during her taunt which I find really cool.
I'd rather have them take a look at the sloppy Project skin they gave us after the rework. They got rid of the passive sfx, replaced the old W effects with the new ugly pink color and got rid of the old Q effects and sound which was way better in my opinion. I'm getting a bit off subject here but her skins pretty much look unfinished. Like, the only skin that got away with better particles and effects is the Slay Belle one.
What Kat also needs is her previous splash art back as well...
Also please make her taunt animation 60 FPS. Right now it runs at 60 FPS at a consistency of 20.
Also there are no flowers anymore in the warring kingdoms skin
Wait, they were removed? Haven't used that skin so didn't notice. That was the only reason I bought the skin.
The reason? Laziness from Riot of course
maybe ur settings are lower
Unfortunately Katarina got updated as part of a Class Update. Meaning like A LOT of other champions she suffered in regards to her skins not getting the attention they deserved. Unfortunately Class Updates always seem to follow the trend anyways. Which really sucks. Riot really undervalues how amazing skins are. At times I play champions because I love the skins they have, not just for the champion themselves. UNfortunately everytime Riot gets an opportunity to upgrade, they either don't or do the opposite.
Katarina saw her; Sandstorm skin lose it's particles. Slay Belle lose it's Shunpo Particles and other effects. Project saw a general decrease in quality. (Colors were toned down significantly) Warring Kingdoms saw it's effects toned down. On a side note she did see model changes for her Q. Where each skin with a different blade now throws that particular blade instead of her classic. Nice change but not worth losing Particle effects over.
Sejuani saw basically the exact same treatment when she got her sloppy VFX's updated.
Hilariously enough Maokai saw ALL BRAND NEW VFX for every skin.
Whereas Sejuani lost VFX. Was really a true example of Riots lazy and bias as fuck side.
Poro Rider lost it's Subtle Particle changes.
Bear Cavalry losts SFX and her VFX became a recolor.
A lot of her skins models saw a downgrade in quality due to Frost Armor obstructing the models.
Unfortunately the skins team remained silent on the whole thing like usual.
Especially since Sandstorm Katarina was my first ever skin and it was a present from Riot, I would definitely back this up. I also play quite a bit of Katarina.

It feels like all of her skins lost uniqueness in their visuals after the rework, I don't see much of a difference in any of the effects of her skins except on project.
