Due to the upcoming changes to the AP items, this may make it harder for Kat to survive as mana regen items are now having flat mana or increased mana regen so they are more unsuitable for her.

However, I think I see potential in Hextech Starburst but it will most likely be for unmobile champions. I don't see many off the changes helping Kat at all meanwhile some changes are decent or somewhat ok like CDR. She already has her passive, CDR will only be useful when trading, poking and etc. but we will eventually see Katarina's with 30-45% CDRs now because it's more fun and versatile. Abyssal Scepter's changes especially should help Kat a bit more in the laning phase but the cost has dramatically increased.

And Zhonya's, is now a much more faster item to rush which is great in many ways. I think after the changes, Hextech Gunblade may be a little more suitable for her as it is now the only healing AP item as they will remove the Book of the Ancients.

I don't know. Should Katarina be stronger or weaker after the next patch?
