Since her rework, I pretty much mained Katarina until the last 2 nerfs or so, which I feel hit her too hard. She has literally no utility, the base damages and scalings on all of her basic abilities are really poor, and her ulti is too easily interrupted before it even kills squishies. She needs to get resets to do anything in teamfights but her damage is so poor that she won't be able to kill anyone on her own and because of the low damage on her basic skills she actually needs to get multiple refreshes so she can cast her ult again for her to even do as much damage as many other ap mages (assuming that the enemy team is not retarded and canceled her ult the first time), and, as a melee mage who generally goes inside the enemy team to do damage, she'll generally die before she can get that reset. I've heard that some Katarinas are now building very tanky (even Sunfire Cape) but she offers so much less to her team than most tanks because with no cc she can't really initiate and if she is among one of the first into a teamfight (as a tank usually should be) then its very easy for the enemy team to cc her during her ulti.
