In the Fizz Patch Riot changed Katarinas Shunpo to not landing behind the target but behind or infront of it wether you are using killer instinct or not.
This makes the use of Shunpo more tactical, like landing in front of the target when laning to get away without taking to much damage, or behind the target in a teamfight to be able to hit more enemy champions with the death lotus.

I think this is a very good change since the previous use of Shunpo had practically no difference between laning and teamfighting. But that's my opinion.

What do u think?

It's basically a nerf.

Now you have to choose between applying Grievous Wounds with Bouncing Blades or getting into a good position with Shunpo when deciding how to make use of Preparation.


If there's a Soraka or a Heal user on the enemy team, you won't be able to get into a good position for your ult. Or, you will, but the majority of your damage will be healed off.

It's a slight adjustment.

Calling it a nerf is a bit silly considering how many situations you are in where you both want to be behind someone, and apply your healing debuff.

I usually picked between healing debuff and 30% DR anyways.

They should make bouncing blade consume killer instincts, but shunpo not consume it honestly.
Tri lane for life.

I don't think it's either a nerf or buff, I just think it adds more control over the champion.

I don't see why this adjustment was a necessity. Now, with the new Shunpo, if you put in theorycrafting, you will eventually do less damage within time as a result of less damage from ult (even with rylai's). Then again, most good Kat players are still doing good even with this change.
