1. What do you want to propose with the new design? Why do you want to change the old design?

2. Well, to me, this is a new direction for Katarina. She is more all in than the current one (current Katarina can W Q E E for a poke, while this one has more spammy Dagger due to low cooldown Q).

- Her Q become the main tool to create dagger, both the damage and the number of targer reduce.

- Her W become an active, which she can actually choose when to use it. More versatile kit. Don't know if the new changes make the dagger more zoning or less.

- Her E give her move speed, which, for a reset assassin like Kat, is reduce mobility.

- Her R, well, I am not very good at number balancing, so beside of combining combo W R, there is nothing I can say.

Kata has always been a team fight assassin, so I think she need more way to survive in lane. Your way removes her poke potential (low damage spammy Q does not make up for it). She can no longer farm safely using her W Q E E combo. If that is what you want to do, then I guess this kit work.
