Personally I like the idea behind her new kit. It can work potentially. But a lot of it to me is really hindered by the fact that it's only potentially. She can now deal more team fight damage, and possibly single target damage. But she's so easily countered now because of these changes that it's just wasted.

Before in lane phase she was mainly countered by anyone with hard CC, now you can also include: Champs that will melt her if she gets into melee range, and champs with a good sustain. Old Kat could harrass from range, and could reduce their sustain with W+Q. New Kat doesn't have this, increasing the amount of champs that can now counter her. That's the main problem I have with this new Katarina.

The upcomming buffs to her, +20 damage on Q and +10 on E will not really help this in my opinion. As I said, she will melt if she gets into melee range and her lack of anti heal is really noticable. I do not see an extra 30 damage (take away base resists it's more just 20 anyway) helping her in any form. Though it will be nice to get her ultimate off twice in one team fight again. I was really starting to miss that.
