They never said, they want to cut their 1 shot abilities, they just want to adapt the time it takes for them to do so. Katarina uses two abilites that do their damage instand and two others with only small delays, non of them are dodgable, so when she is fed she needs about ~ 0,3 - 0,6 seconds to kill you (if you are squishy naturally). Rengar, Talon and LB are similar to that: use all your spells as fast as possible for a fast combo. There isn't much counterplay left, as fast as Katarina E W R's you're not able to do much most of the time.

Sure all of these Assassins have their weaknesses, but these weaknesses become more and more irrelevant, once they are ahead. Rengar and Talon for example have no escape in their kit, but when they are fed, they don't need it, because they kill everything, they kill their target fast enough, so the enemies Team can't react or they are able to pick an isolated target. With Katarina and LB it is the same.

All Riot will do is extending their time windo for killing People a bit (like the delayed activation from Leblanc's E) and adding more outplay potential for the assassins and their opponents. If you are half health and a Katarina E W's on you and you die, you don't think "wow, this Katarina is good", or "man, I could have outplayed her". All you could have done to not die, was not be there and that's not fair for you and nor fair for Katarina aswell. The damage and the 1 shot potential from these assassins won't be nerfed at all. They will just need about ~ 0,5 - 1 seconds to do so and the enemy will have Options to do something agaist it, while the assassins will have more ways to kill their opponents beyond their standard combo.
