User blog comment:Gnomeco/Katarina - Should be buffed?/@comment-6301771-20140412141849

Kat doesn't need a straight buff, per se, but she needs a power adjustment. Back when she was reworked, the intention was to move some of the power from her overwhelming ultimate to the rest of her abilities, so she wasn't dependent on it. Then all of her abilities were nerfed and her ultimate was buffed back up to pre-rework levels, and she has the exact same problem as before. Riot learned nothing and has more or less legitmiately reversed a rework for once.

Kat's ult has roughly 1.5 times the base damage of HER ENTIRE KIT and over 2.5 times the scaling. It's ludicrous.
