As an AP mid carry, you should be the one doing the damage. The gameplay you suggest means you're relying on your team to carry for you, then you go in and clean up the kills. Basically, if your team is weak, your also a deadweight. If your team is strong, then you're strong. You aren't the one influencing the fight. In short: SHE CAN'T CARRY.

Another reason why Kat is not that great is her mediocre laning. A lot of heroes can easily shut her down during laning phase. Kat needs to snowball to be really scary. It's hard to do that if your laning is average.

Lastly, even if you are a really good player that times when to shunpo in well, a half decent team will just order one person with stun to ALWAYS SAVE THAT CC FOR YOU. Always. That cc won't be used except to stop your ulti so there's no point in "waiting for enemy team to blow all cc's" A half decent team won't.

Without ulti, you're stuck with 2 nukes, one of which will put you in the middle of the team fight.
