Contrary to popular belief, she is extremely skill rewarding. If you have your timing right you can dominate in some very sticky situations. You can go all "OMGENEMY!!!! FACE SMAAAASH!!! QEWRWEQEQEWQEWQRQEWQWE" and have your performance relying on factors such as enemy CC, summoner flash/exhaust, higher burst(Yes, you can out DPS a Katarina using her ultimate in close range and still live to tell the tale), escapes, and being ganked... or you could use her to her full potential and have one of the best adrenaline rushes this game has to offer, and analyse everything that's going on to find weakness and exploit it.

The main problem the community had with Katarina is her ability to potentially wipe out enemy teams in the matter of seconds due to her passive combined with her AoE damage. With this she can turn games around and/or make them a living Hell for anyone on the opposing team. Her roaming was also an extreme QQ magnet.

I actually think of her as the most solid yet balanced midlaner in the game. Also one of the most fun champions by far. Thank Satan that she's gone off of the "OP" radar for the time being...
