High Scope

 * 's Kunai
 * Then how about the daggers in her ult? Are those not the same daggers she throws in Q?
 * Otherwise, I still would not go with "kunai" even if it's culturally popular; my worries are also about misconception as a kunai knife does not look anywhere remotely close to what Katarina wields. And I do not refer to only the popular depiction of the knife but also its historically-accurate appearance. If her knives did look look like a kunai knife, then I would agree to the second point, but since it doesn't, I cannot see it as a cemented claim.
 * Yasuo's katana can technically be called a "sword" (a weapon with a long metal blade and a proper hilt & handguard), but whoever does so needs to keep in mind and note that it's a "Japanese sword." It's still not an accurate description, but it shouldn't be as offensive as you make it out to be.
 * 's Rage
 * As I mentioned, I didn't know how to put a finger on the Fury mechanic you implemented. But I thank you for the clarification; I don't play Rengar often enough, so I wouldn't know his primary issues enough. I just hope that he becomes a champion that I would be more interested in playing.
 * If I didn't say so already, but Assassins are not my go-to class, so I apologize if I do make strange/out-of-place opinions.
 * Talon is another champion I haven't played much (twice maybe?). What felt offputting about the "boomerang dash" was it's similarity to 's . But since the ability is supposed to be a "previously seen mechanic with a different flavour," I will wait around to see what RIOT does with it. Otherwise, nothing to say more for Talon.

Low Scope

 * Even without announced goals, I would believe you would have some personal thoughts of what to do with Ekko, even if the lack of visuals is the primary frustration for players playing against him.
 * That   on  is for sure miniscule. Even if people do say "even the smallest contribution counts," this one just doesn't make the cut.
 * Like the change you made for the active part of it. I would say that the sweet-spot would provide the shield, although sweet-spotting the stun may sound more fair.
 * If I could add a little more, changing that reveal duration to 0.75 seconds from 0.5 may be a little more pleasing. I would like to say 1 second, but I feel that its last-minute reveal gives hand to the visuals' frustration.
 * Are there any other aspect of his kit you believe needs to be changed or cut down?
 * Hmm... speechless, I am... sounds good. XD
 * What I was getting at was that each instance of receiving a shield is individual from each other. If he receives 100 shields, then after two seconds gets 50 more, after another 1.5 seconds, the 100 shields will go away but he keeps the 50 for another two seconds. This would make a difference in that if he receives less than 100 damage during that 1.5 seconds, he will still lose some of that shield over time, similar to a decaying shield... is this getting confusing?
 * Nonetheless, if the duration refreshes every time, then this idea is null as it only complicates how the barrier works
 * I was thinking that was a though behind the name, but still didn't sit well with it.
 * I just tossed a name in. If it wasn't fitting, then that's just me not paying attention to thematics there.
 * For "Null Zone," Malz still uses the term in his ult, doesn't he?
 * I still feel the Reworked version is separate from Malz's new innate, but I could just be missing the point with it. The only thing I would be a bit bitter about with the Rework is that cost ramp up... possibly because I don't play Kassadin enough to understand if that cost is actually that bad.
 * Consistent range for the sake of being able to get used to playing against/as Kha? Alright.
 * I will agree now that the Leap is somewhat pointless at base and the reset does more than enough to fulfill the empowerment effect. But do you think the same with his Enhanced Claws, that their empowered effects is more than enough as an empowerment?
 * That video explained it clearer. Definitely "showing" did the work here. The free escapes do get annoying when he goes "ulp, I messed up. Gotta run lol". I suppose though that his chasing capability will also be a bit ruined (not taking the ult into account) as he cannot spawn a shadow wherever he wants now.

Out-of-Scope
If you do have some of those "bandaid" fixes, post them. This is in-part an opinion blog, so I would like to see what are your thoughts on the other champions still not mentioned.

 * Saw the Diana touch-ups too, so thought I should say a thing or two.
 * I've dueled with a Diana a few matches ago and do believe needs that bit of nerf. The damage is not much of a worry, but I'm more annoyed by how often it can be decked out and how I've been hit when I wasn't close to its.
 * I don't know about the need for redundant grace periods, but I just checked out the animation and can agree that it needs to be better seen in-game. All the skins nonetheless.
 * Didn't know about AD Ahri :/
 * Otherwise, I do like how you spread the damage out, not that I was aware that her auto-targeted damage is a bit much.
