Katarina * Bouncing Blades o Now scales off of 80% bonus attack damage (instead of 100% of all attack damage) o Base damage increased to 60/95/130/165/200 o Now has a 0.35 ability power ratio * Death Lotus o Base damage decreased to 40/50/60 from 50/65/80 o Now scales off of both attack damage and ability power rather than one or the other o Now hits the closest 3 targets rather than 3 random targets o Cooldown reduced to 60/55/50 seconds from 60 Her AP ratios haven't been reduced at all? How is she not viable as an AP/Tank hybrid anymore? I haven't done the math behind her Q damage but if you're going AP it looks like it'll do just as much as it ever did if you weren't going AD. oh wait there's a base damage decrease on Lotus... hm | ||

Edit: Beaten by myopia. Edit2: I missed the Death Lotus damage reduction. Was too busy staring at the AND. Gunblade on Kat strikes me as a fun troll build. | ||

Also, the fact that BB now scales with a pure AP build makes up for it in a way. Remember BB had no AP ratio before, at all. | ||

With it scaling off of just bonus AD now, the net effect is a nerf to his low level damage. This is correct. Reducing his spin damage per second from 72 to 60 reduces his total Judgment damage from 216 to 180. On December 15 2010 01:52 Mogwai wrote: Garen is officially DEAD. The character took it directly in the ass this patch, he's 100% useless since you now need to build offensive items on a character with absolutely nothing with any range. Seriously, he's lower than Urgot tier IMO after this patch. Uh. 180 damage at level 1, using 1 skill, is still a lot more than most champions can dish out. Paired up with Taric (or someone else who can stun), Garen should still be a decent champion for duo lanes. On December 15 2010 03:15 Mogwai wrote: shut up and face it, the character is fucking dead. In order to do as much damage as old garen with no AD items, new level 18 garen needs to have... let's see... I don't feel like looking anything new up, so let's say he has 100 base AD at level 18. So old Garen did 95+35 = 130/0.5 seconds = 260/second. New Garen does 180/second. New Garen needs 80 AD just to catch up. If old Garen had built AD (which was rejected for sucking ass because then you just fucking die), you'd need to have 240 AD for new Garen to catch up to old AD Garen in terms of spin damage output. It's closer to 290 AD for new Garen to catch up, because his base AD at level 18 is 112. Adding Decisive Strike to the equation: + Show Spoiler [maths] + With no AD: Old Garen would Decisive Strike for 120+112, then Judgment for 268*3 for a total of 1036 damage. New Garen would Decisive Strike for 90+112*1.2, then Judgment for 180*3 for a total of 764 damage (~26% damage decrease). With 247 AD: Old Garen would Decisive Strike for 120+112+247, then Judgment for (268+247*0.7)*3 for a total of 1802 damage. New Garen would Decisive Strike for 90+(112+247)*1.2, then Judgment for (180+247)*3 for a total of 1802 damage. So yeah, new break-even point would be 247 AD if you count Decisive Strike. On December 15 2010 03:15 Mogwai wrote: HE IS FUCKING DEAD Well, tank Garen's been hit hard by this patch; Sunfires are more expensive and no longer stack, his level 1 damage output (with no AD) dropped by ~17%, and his level 18 damage output (again with no AD) dropped by ~26%. Maybe with all the nerfs to ranged carries lately, melee DPS will find a new home in LoL, Garen included. Maybe. Otherwise... yeah, this looks like a bad day for the Demacian figurehead. | ||

DL I think is actually better now One, your AP ratio part stays the same, yes its base damage got nerfed but... it adds attack damage into it ALONG with AP NOT instead of. And it didn't say bonus attack damage either it said attack damage. Which even without building AD should make up for at least part if not all of the base damage reduction. If you build mostly AP with one hybrid item it will be better than before. BB is also much much better now, and I think she will be a very very good poker with it now, since it will do considerably more damage than before now plus has a 50% healing reduction. | ||

I suppose I don't actually have confirmation of this but I assume since they didn't specifically address it that it still is only talking about bonus AD. If it uses all AD (which I highly doubt, again, someone confirm that I'm right), it was a gigantic buff. | ||

IIRC no, cause I never bought AD on her but it still had a value for the orange number in the ult when i played her (its been like a week or more so Im not 100% on this but I am pretty sure). Even if it is only bonus AD, its not that much of a nerf for kat overall. BB is still better than before, ya it doesn't scale off her AD anymore but it does have an AP scale, even low, which should make up for it and increase its damage lategame, and for most of a teamfight and before BB is better than DL until they blow their stuns. | ||

Once everybody is ahead a level or two the game goes much smoother, but that just won't be possible anymore ^_^ Items don't give enough of an advantage to carry the game when people can still make sub-optimal choices. Wanting to buy global exp back  With the huge nerfs to attack speed regarding last whisper and green pots I wonder what else Riot can do to nerf the ranged deeps ^_^ | ||

It makes melee DPS characters more viable relative to ranged DPS. | ||

I agree, Brees, I laid it out to Ecael last night, too. They killed BB's early game (60 damage nerf jesus). Who the hell builds hybrid on Kat anyways. Gunblade? You get like 80% of the damage (amounts to like 48) and like, what, 30% of the AP (so you get another 27ish) for a whopping total of... ... whoops it's less than Bloodthirster. Right. So the real "buff" is that you can stack BTs and get a Rylai to get the slow effect. Whoopdeefuckingdoo. ... was it worth the base damage decrease on her ult and the absolute murder of her early game? BUFF! | ||
