A few of Kat's Skins after rework

I would like to give some credit to this post for reminding me of some of the things taken away from a few of kat's skins after her rework. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/I8kXvmak-please-give-sandstorm-kat-her-sand-particles-back .

After kat's rework, I've noticed that some things from a few of her skins were gone and has bothered me for a while because I haven't seen any explanation as to why. Those skins would be Warring Kingdom, Project, and Sandstorm.

Warring Kingdoms: This one is minor but I thought it was a pretty interesting thing that this skin did. When kat used her Q, she threw her dagger sideways. Here's a video. Go to 0:38 for reference. https://youtu.be/69rZr-cs3Ek I just thought this was a nice little unique thing this skin had.

Project: Her unique passive sfx is gone. Is there a reason for this because this was taken out for no reason. It was cool and satisfying to hear that every time I got a kill.

Sandstorm: While she has some of her sand particles (I think) she definitely does not have all of them or at least not enough. They're hardly noticeable. I only see them 5% of the time when I use this skin.

Yeah, hopefully Riot fixes this. This game is slowly falling apart quality wise. Way too much is happening and things seem to be going towards quantity over quality.

Also, minor nitpick but on the topic of katarina, her running animation got removed a LONG time ago.. kinda wish we got that back

I wish the border on Warring Kingdoms kat stood out more because it's really cool.

So some other people notice the removal of some unique particles in different Kat skins, but no one seems to have noticed that Kat's dance is super busted since the earlier rework. Her daggers phase through her arms because of the way the daggers are animated now. It's a little easier to see on Project Kat but it happens with all of her skins.

Sandstorm katarina ctrl+2 animation is kind of buggy, at least at hight quality, it feels so unfluid =(

I believe they removed WK Kat's sideways dagger throw because the recall looked like a Q animation and was used to bait out Windwall from Yasuo players, especially in LCS.
