I love the fact that people keep saying that she's more useful with her W now. :> The problem with most Katarina players was that they went full AP and died too fast in teamfights.

I used to play Katarina as a tanky AD champ with Gunblade/Warmogs/Atmas and tanky items... the damage is of course less than full AP Kat, but since you are able to survive longer you can deal more damage. Her laning on mid is now horrible since you cant do the long range poke with W-Q anymore. The overall damage of all the old spells is so low now, and with the new rework you need to go melee to reach her full damage potential. :>

I guess she is viable in jungle / top lane now. :]
