the new kat is comfortable to play, but Riot completely wrecked her Shunpo, which in my opinion was the main killing skill.

her old combo used to be QWEREQEQ assuming you at least killed one person. but after the first kill which may or may have not been by DL, shunpo is what finishes off teams.

i have literally done my QWER combo into a 4v5 and gotten a penta, 4/5 of the kills were shunpo. and BB is really just to get the enemy health down enough for shunpo to guarantee a kill.

the new kat is QEWR and is more combo-ish than anything. her Q alone isnt good enough for harassing, but QEW has high burst. And Riot has now turned her ult into the main killing skill with shunpo as the finisher for stragglers.

I see the new kat is balanced just as the previous was, and both have very good early game AND late game potential, still.
