They want to nerf her basic abilities because of how spammable they are. Katarina's rework meant she doesn't have a W Cooldown to worry about to get the maximum effect of her basic spells. It took planning, and skill. Now? Not so much. Thus, her basic spells are super good, but they nerfed the ult a whole lot, so Riot desires a balance that leans more towards her ult, which is easier to deal with than her QEW combo.
