Don't blame the ones who cry that Kat is ruined now. She's just not as roflstomping as she was before and is much more viable in more competitive play. It feels like they're in 2-digit ELO and think that it's always bigger ratios = bigger damage. She had 3 skills back then. Now she has 4, with an amazing new one, while the old one's remains are transfered to her other skills.

AD and Hybrid Kats are not quite viable anymore, i guess Riot wanted to make her a normal AP mid with a unique AD edge. Gunblade is still perfect on her, though.

Her old model looked like she's retarded with that walking animation, now she's looking like a slayer, an assassin with her weapons prepared for battle. Her Shunpo sound was so awkward it made me sick, what's a blink have to do with a punch sound. Her ult was slower, her Q had no mark apply. They nerfed her lane harass which was really strong and required no mana, now she has to get to the target to maximize the damage. Her farming is tremendous. Her teamfight presence is even better. Kat now feels a lot more rounded up and finished as a champion.

If you run from her rework, you won't see her stab you.
