I always felt that pre-remade Kat required more skill to play (and master) and was more rewarding than the current Katarina. When her remake was initially released, people were stomping because they didn't know how quickly her ult channeled ( though it is less damage than the old ult), and W is a nice nuke so players didn't know how to react to this new source of damage.

Now, the amount of bruisers that can go midlane can just rape a Katarina (even with Seeker's Armguard) unless it's a seasoned Kat player who knows that they're doing and have some degree of jungler assistance.

Her AP ratios and cooldowns got owned, ESPECIALLY shunpo. I see a lot of noob players stupidly use shunpo, and then die because they can't escape due to it's cooldown (at least in the earlier levels).

But definitely I agree: as a long time Kat player, it hurts to see some people just butcher her and suck ass to what was once a Godlike champion.
