Well the new one has extremely low base values as well as an ult that doesn't do nearly as much damage as it used to. A big problem here is that while her farming ability improved. The overall power of her skills went down. Q having reduced damage on each hit makes it difficult to bounce a blade for harass, even more so because it has less bounces.

E with a lower ratio and longer cooldown at early ranks makes it less of a reliable jump in - jump out skill like it used to be for kat making insane plays.

Killer instincts used to be a very good and skill based move that really helped in lane with your Q.

In my opinion, W needs 230 base damage at lvl 5 with a 0.4-0.5 AP ratio. And E needs 190 base damage with a 0.5 Ap ratio. Both of these are mainly to make up for the ult doing significantly less damage.
