Yes, they dont get resets. They also have naturally much higher damage (something like 400% higher). Because Katarinas resets are balanced around the fact that she can get resets. Each reset is pitiful in terms of damage. Cassiopeia does as much damage as each reset with 2 Es, including her passives boost of course.

Wait, Akalis ult has about a 1 second CD. Less actually. Thats about the time you need for Katarinas resets to work. Besides, yknow, Akali can store up to 3 and one for each kill, Katarina cant.

Actually, no. If katarinas targets arent clumped up, then her damage drops (the damage I calculated assumed that they were all close, so that her Q and W would hit 5-n, with n being the amount of resets so far). Quite significantly. In that case its 5*1.25+5*575 damage, compared to the other, much higher amount.

In this case, well, Annie wont deal as much colleteral damage, but unlike Katarina, who in this case desperately needs her team (she wont even be able to kill a squishy at 70% HP on her own), she can safely burst one down, stun people, and continue to contribute with her bears aura, low cooldown, but high damage Q, and slightly higher cooldown high damage W.

Thats ignoring the fact that Annie can do it while being relatively safe, which Katarina cant. No, thats the thing. If you stop Katarinas ult, she wont be able to pull her weight without her team. Like, she needs multiple resets to just be providing a benefit to her team thats worth a damn. But, in that case, multiple enemies died, despite Katarina barely contributing, and jumping in, as a squishy champion without a real safe way out. Which means that in order for Kat to contribute after having her ult being stopped, her team needs to be winning. And even then her contribution isnt the greatest.

But Annie? She can burst 1 or multiple people down with a huge burst (far higher than Kats) instantly, while providing stuns, and being in a safe position. So, Annie can pull her weight no matter what. Katarina needs either a full ult or several resets.
