I guess she will be a lot weaker and this makes me honestly sad. She can't use most of the new items or at least they are very inefficient on her because of the mana and CDR. Sure, a bit of CDR may be nice on lane or to get her Ult in earlier levels faster after resets, but it isn't as useful for her as for others. What Kata allways needed was raw damage and survive ability and two of her core items are getting nerfed in terms of damage (Abyssal and Zhonyas). Especially the changes to Abyssal will hurt her because the MR debuff aura is weaker on lower levels and the early game is jard for Kat anyway. In late game it may be stronger but Kata sire doesn't need any buffs for her late game. Beside that all mages with Mana will recive a huge buff with the new items and the tear supporting items because it will lead to imense AP numbers. Kat can't use this build and will end up with much less mana and a few stats which she can't use. It's kinda depressing but I expect the next few Weeks/ Months to be very hard for the sinister blade.
