I really think it should do more damage when is used on less than 3 target
And yes her W is amazing as hell and she has great farming with that, problem is she cannot now burst a squishy 1vs1 even unleashing a full combo, wich is kinda bad for an assassin

She's got more reliable damage now but she is no more a real assassin

For all you questions about jungling




yes Mr smartypants click on the signature

I disagree, but I know how you feel. You miss that "**** Kata too op" when you jump in the middle of 3 squishies and insta- Triple kill them, but that isn't happening anymore lately, that Katarina is no more. Now in ranked, people save CC for you, focus you first and make sure you can only use your ultimate for half a second. And the old Katarina can't survive that even with QSS. That's why she has W now, just think about it this way: Assassins can be easily shut down with CC, but I think Katarina is the first assassin that can tell Alistar to go f*ck off with his CC since she doesnt rely on her ultimate anymore, like Akali, Kassadin and other assassins. She's the Neo-Assassin, the new type of assassins.

Besides her Mercenary skin Artwork is by far the sexiest skin i've ever seen and only costs 520 RP. That skin just scares my mid opponent and makes him towerhug before i even show up on lane :p

Nah, her ultimate's damage is fine imo. The only thing that really bugs me is how weak Shunpo is now. With the old one you'd shunpo in, ult, shunpo a few more times and you'd have a penta in your hands. But this new Shunpo... Does it have a lot of base damage at lvl 1? No. Does it increase much when you level it up? No. Does it have a good ratio? No. Does it have a low cooldown at lower levels? No.

she never did rely on her ultimate, people have this misconception that Katarina needs her ultimate to do damage, it's simply not true, good Katarina players are focused only on picking up the kill/assist. The reset w*** more important than getting a full ult off ever was.
Thanks for the Signature MissMaw!

Some really good points being made on this thread. Her ultimate isn't really bugged but it does suck now compared to her old one. I think they nerfed her Shunpo too hard honestly. She lacks the power to just run in for a kill, then run out. Since they made her to be an assassin that can burst down entire teams, they didn't want her 1v1 power to be too strong. I just think shunpo should get a small amount of its power back is all.


Special thanks to Keondre for the sig!

Due to inactivity, I am no longer reviewing guides. Sorry guys :(

Ya PsiGuard, the mechanics are very different, but my point is valid. If you like, I can compare it to Wukong's ult instead, which is vastly superior to Kat's ult IMHO.

For one, why only 3 champs? If it's gonna be multi-target ult, why limit it to only 3? There are other ults that can target all champs without even seeing them (*cough Karthus cough*). Again, I know the comparison is like apple's and oranges but for an assassin, especially to my playstyle, it's Under Powered in the extreme.

If it's true that they plan on doing a little more tweaking in the buff area to the Ult, I say good, it needs it.

Still, it's not like she's not deadly or anything but the rework seems to have weakened her further than she already was. Fail.

Insanity; a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world.
Thx to effinvices for the sig!

^ if it hit every target then her ult would do to much damage in team fights if the enemy clumps at all! even if you only get 3 daggers off but hit 2 extra people the damage could be a massive game changer, those 2 champs now have over 200 less health meaning a faster reseat for kat so she can do more damage. MAN AFTER seeing all this stuff about her i wanna play the new kat!:(. I'd say she is stronger early but,i'v never tried the remake so I can't truly say but, it looks easier to cs now which was a problem for most kats(i could farm but roaming was more fun;) ).

Her new kit hits way hard enough in my opinion, and I sincerely wish they dont change anything. If the ult stays "weak" (although it's simply weaker than it was, which is far from straight "weak"), people will keep thinking Kat is underpowered. She's possibly the less straight forward mage in the game, and her ult being somewhat lackluster holds most players. Meh, anyway, yea, the ult is weak.

Moar Kat for me :3

Finally got to take her for a spin. Kat's kit is way more enjoyable now. It has a bit of flow to her. Her ulti seems got a small nerf honestly. Of course, due to new damage number information, it's hard to tell exactly. But it's about 1,8k maybe 1,9k max damage over 2 seconds compared to 3k+ over 3 seconds. Of course, puling out 3s ulti is harder and more rewarding, than 2s and W and Q contribute more to overall damage.
So Kat is finer to me, than she was.
