Time to get with the program and accept the fact that your champion's different now.
It's the fact that niche builds are nerfed into the ground that bothers me, and should bother you, too. I'm really tired of Riot acting like a certain game company named after a winter storm telling me how to have my fun. Ideally, all abilities and all champions would have viable AP and AD build paths. It's all we ever want in a repetitive game like this; build diversity.

Do I refuse to accept that Kat is different? No, I accepted it after I found out everyone and their mother could play her to some degree after the rework. Unfortunately for me, I can't enjoy the champion if I don't add unnecessary challenge, because easy/repetitive champions are boring to me.

If you can't even spell her name properly, I'm not inclined to take you seriously. You're just a troll, and not even worth a word more than this.

Extremely well articulated post. The math seems to check out, and I don't play Katarina much, so it was nice to get this kind of well-detailed look into things. +1

Love how this POSITIVE CONSTRUCTIVE post gets downvoted so hard.... because it's a thread talking positively about Katarina.

Well, there's two things fundamentally wrong with this topic. Kat deals ****loads of damage with her abilities. And for that reason, her reset needs a limiter.

In fact, the whole reset, is designed around the fact that she's supposed to deal lots of damage in no time, but is very squishy. You can't argue that she does no damage and therefore needs a reset mechanism based on kills and assists. That's kills included in there. A good Kat can get a Penta in roughly 5 seconds if she jumps in on 5 people at half hp and she doesn't even have to finish her ult for that.. Not sure what you want to call her damage, but I hope you weren't referencing Kat versus Tanks, when you said she does no damage.

That was true pre-rework. Five second pentas don't happen anymore. Your team needs you. You can't just wait until the enemy team is all at half and expect your team to make that happen 4v5.
