I'm pretty sure she's overpowered, although if you have arguments I'll read them

I just played against her and I was absolutely amazed. She could do what old Kat could do without using her ult. She just jumps around constantly dropping a Q/W and instakilling everyone. Old Kat could be shut down easily because aside from her ult she really didn't have anything, and her ult was obviously cancelable.

New Kat doesn't even need ult, so you can't just CC her once and be done with it. Her base damage on W is extremely high and that means she can build tanky and still whoop ass. It looks deceptively low. In reality you have to account for the fact she'll use it at least 4 times a fight but more likely 5-6. 1000-1200 base damage AoE on a regular ability is beyond scary. Even if she doesn't get any resets (very very very unlikely) it's still on a 2.6 second cd with cdr.

Anyway she is basically guaranteed to get at least one reset because of gunblade or deathfire depending on which one she decided to buy.
