Actually, it does 1450, to be precise (Assuming a reasonable build). Which, if you werent aware of all the damage numbers, does sound nice. Its actually really bad. Especially since its only to 1 guy (only the Q damage and W damage can bounce, and Q at a lesser rate). And its before the nerf. To 5 people it will only do a little more damage than Annies W. Consider the fact that Katarinas E is completely outclassed by Annies Q, and you can see that Annie does a lot more damage upfront. Thats ignoring the fact that Annie can also stun with it and has other advantages.

And its not just Annie. Any aoe Mage does it a lot better. Hell, even some bruisers can do it better. And that makes sense, since Katarina has the potential to be so crazy, that her minimum contribution is abysmal (and it absolutely is)
