How so? Throw bouncing dagger, shun po, use AOE and ult. Repeat the ENTIRE combo until everybody is dead. Do the whole combo minus the ult to harass, maybe swapping the shun po and AOE.

No...
You don't use your ultimate.
Katarina only uses her ultimate when she is given the opportunity.
Otherwise she just keeps doing QEW.

I'd say she is strong, but not broken. When I play her, i realize that it's really easy to do well with her against unorganized players and teams that don't know how to use Exhaust, or know basic focus. (This is pretty much 90% of solo que)

Anyone whining about Kat obviously haven't mastered the remake. (Btw for the QWER comments, it is QEWR at the very least -_-) There is plenty that goes into differentiating a good Kat player from a great Kat player. Positioning is a staple for excelling as hard cc wrecks Kat's ult which is her main source of damage. Now, within a teamfight after you ult you get a few more decisions. Pending on different scenarios such as an assist reducing your cd's you must decide on whether stopping your ult early to use your e, q or w will yield more damage. To truly play Kat at an optimal level you must make quick decisions throughout the course of a teamfight due to her high risk, high reward nature. Being in the correct position prior to ulting and choosing when to stop it and shunpoo to continue your cd reduction and finish your combos prior to finding a good position to ult again. Also, if the enemy team is at all competent, timing is also needed skill. As I previously stated, hard cc shuts Kat down so when you enter a teamfight is crucial. There are many ingredients that go into playing a champion, but Kat seems to be fairly balanced as any given game she can be shut down or go hyper carry. Builds vary as much as any ap carry where your build adjusts to team comps and game to game situations. That's just my 2 cents as an avid Kat player who has also seen the fine line between normal people's play and Scarra's.

.... to be honest she probably shouldn't have any AD ratios to begin with, so, why not take away all her AD ratios? Would make her easier to balance.

I read 2 lines and was convinced you can't play Katarina. The bolded line was the one that really made me stop. Sorry for not reading the rest of your post.

Just a note: i don't main kat, but i do see her a lot since her rework.
My attitude is only sour after I get downvotes with no intelligent feedback, and trolly responses such as the post right after the original post.

I'm a perfectly reasonable and amiable sort right up until someone gets insulting and dickish and says something ignorant like they know better than I do about a topic I have more experience than a vast vast majority of players in. Fair is fair.
