She has literally the same playstyle as before, except now she's actually reliable.

That's not what the poll says.

That's because you didn't know how to play Kat before this.

3: Being countered in fights easier than ever due to the whole Mark thing that screams loud and clear to the enemy team "Kat is about to commit."
4: Putting the heal reduction on the ult is useless outside of someone trying to Heal through it, when it was mostly used for winning trades in lane.
5: Not compensating us for KI's lost damage.
6: Not compensating us for KI > BB lost full damage.
7: Changing her playstyle completely.
8: And this list probably goes on much longer than 7 items.
My idea was more or less formed at the bolded point. I have a couple of friends like this. All they do is play kat because they can pubstomp normals hard with her. These so called dedicated kat players don't like her for her playstyle, because vs anyone good, her playstyle gets shat on, they just like to pubstomp with her. She plays differently now, better keep playing her the same way and hating all day.

Considering how many threads on the new Kat I've seen from forum members who are *not* Katarina, that seems obviously false.

Yes and no for me.
I find lane phase to be easier pre 6 now but after 6 when I'm ready to get my kill I can definitely feel the loss of damage, and that never really goes away all game.
The 10% increase is a lie as far as I know. And people have done the math. a full combo results in less burst damage. So I don't know what Kat rework Phreak is looking at.

Personally I'd much rather have this Kat and get a buff than stick with the old one. Primarily I'd like to see a Shunpo buff as it's dmg was gutted like a fish and given to the new W. I don't see much of a problem with getting a little more love on Shunpo.
