short answer, skill levels equal, yes. even taking into account junglers, he can cc her better with the slow to make his jungler's job easier. the new mana restore with q shield and flask make him sustain too well to force out of lane gradually by poke trades, so in that aspect his rework actually made it harder for kat to lane against him. add on kat's ult nerfs and she can't even roam as often or as effectively as she used to. best option for kat is to max w for ms and waveclear, shove to his turret, and make him lose farm while she waits for a good skirmish in midgame.
