First thing first, you should provide your context of these changes.

Second, I don't like them. You give Katarina CC which obviously benefits her ultimate and now kinda allow her to do her work better. Now you remove CD refreshes from her passive for some reason which I think is kinda take away her All-or-Nothing identity and give her... um... sustain? Amplifying damage against movement impaired unit sure sounds well but I don't think her absurdly high damage needs any amplification. You also makes her R absolutely imbalanced, allow her to kill an entire unprepared team in one go (Not to mention your change on her E) or waste it once she is stopped and have no way to come back because she has no refresh anymore.

Katarina is currently 'fine' (said with gritted teeth). IMO She meant to bring raw damage to the team and her current kit allow her to do that just fine.
