Honestly, I feel Kat needs quite a few buffs because her playstyle and pattern feel very clunky and odd. She has AD ratios for no reason other than to Justify buying Gunblade, since all of her damage is Magic Based, which makes the Bonus AD Ratios actually feel off. Total AD Ratio on Shunpo is fine, since she can use all of her base and natural scaling on free damage on an ability you probably never skill, but still. If Dagger spin was actually Physical, she would actually use items such as the new Fancy Lethality ones, like Youmuu or Edge of Night but since she doesn't, it just makes her weird to play as and see a Ratio which doesn't do anything.

It is also unlike anything like 100% AP Ratios on Champs like Sivir o Quinn, since those are singular Ratios on Character who benefit already from buying AD by being ranged, or in the case of someone like Fiora or Jayce, pointless since the ability has extreme CD or is unyieldying.

Dagger fall is also weird. How much time does it take to fall? It's fine to limit Kat early by making her think before using a Q-W-E-AA-E combo, but why does it still apply later? Kat NEEDS all the speed she needs to survive. It's pivotal. I don't get why DaggerFall doesn't scale down. Even if you justify it by making DaggerFall being faster by levels, DeathLotus Rank, CDR, anything.

Finally, Shunpo SHOULDN'T have a cast time. Again, speed is Kat's bread n' butter.

Honestly I like Kat's rework but you CAN improve her. Justifying her by saying she is a hard champion shouldn't be by limiting your options.
