User blog comment:Elecissa/Future Katarina changes and all Katarina post/@comment-24825176-20150120133143

I don't play Katarina that much but when I look at these changes I don't see them as such a hard nerf. I see them as more of a power shift and a skill cap increase.

The q change is a minor nerf but also takes away some of her free poke that doesnt fit a champ like kat that much and makes the brunt of the damage on proccing the mark.

The w change is again a minor nerf that incentivises building her as a hybrid assassin which is what she is.

and the e change which i like actually. Yes it does take the damage away but now if you jump in on someone and don't get the kill the ability goes down to a 3 second cooldown which lets you get out if you dont get a kill or you misplayed somewhat and are in a bad situation. What you can do now is jump around the fight to fish for kills and then do it again when a kill happens which then synergizes with the q change to have more damage on the proc instead of the initial cast.
