Hold on a second Einsoph, does this mean Katarina's teamfight damage has been toned down to increase her single target burst? Thus, this makes her much more committed to killing a target that she's focused on, before moving on to the next target? I hope there's nothing like that happening in the update. One of the funnest aspect of playing Katarina is going in and laying waste to enemies via her ultimate, I hope that has not changed. Given that Riot has promised Katarina will still continue to be a teamfighting assassin, but if that teamfight prowess comes at the expense of killing one target before proceeding to mow down the next and the rest, that's not quite teamfight at its core. I'd imagine they would have kept her aoe damage, lower her burst much more than it is currently. If the proposed changes go through, she's just basically Akali 3.0.

I like the idea of Shunpo, Voracity and Death Lotus and hope she retains very much of her aoe strengths. When they said her burst window was getting extended, I was honestly thinking her Q-W-E synergy in burst would be toned down significantly while Ult and passive were kept as they are. Not that she will now change her playstyle to be single target focused. Obviously, all assassins focuses on one target during target, but Katarina has always been, focus on the squishies, not one squishy. Hence, why I sincerely hope she doesn't turn in to Akali 3.0.
