Not sure how I feel about the PBE Kat changes. It's a big nerf to Kats who try to burst someone in lane, even without being CC'd your opponent has to sit in your ult for an extra .5 seconds otherwise you lose out on 80 damage which, considering Kat's lack of CC, means that it's going to be a bit harder to solo kill people.

At rank 2 you lose out on 20 damage per second, 40 damage total, unless you abuse that .5 extra second but honestly at this point in the game it's just a damage nerf because I couldn't remember the last time I got off or even wanted to get off a full 2 second channel, let alone adding another half second to that due to getting a reset, champions moving around or just following the general flow of a teamfight.

At rank 3 is where it's a definite buff, champions get tankier meaning that you really can abuse the higher damage total on Death Lotus but honestly Kat doesn't really need help in the damage department late game. I'm not feeling that the rank 3 buff balances out the rank 1 and 2 nerfs at all and am apprehensive regarding these changes.
