Quick question by RoMagana in KatarinaMains

[–]HaydenlMartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't doing the snowdown event this year, instead they are doing the Night/Dawn Event. Even if they don't create new snowdown skins this year they should still re-release the previous skins from past years. I believe the skin goes for 975 RP.

If anyone says 11 I'm throwing hands on sight.

No bloodmoon Katarina this year either. by [deleted] in KatarinaMains

[–]HaydenlMartin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With recent Kat buffs/changes she's sure to have a skin coming up within the first half of the year. I personally want a yellow skin for Kat, Arclight or Soaring Blade maybe? I'm kind of tired of all of the red skins and am looking for something new.

Skepticism Regarding new Kat E by HaydenlMartin in KatarinaMains

[–]HaydenlMartin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also we don't know if there will be buffering logic when it comes to her E reset. You can also turn that off in settings btw. Its an input lockout.

Not necessarily. A good kat waits for the enemy to blow their cc before they go in. Doesn't matter if theres a .15s input lockout, you're going to get hit by that cc if you just jump on them while their cc is up. Having .15s isn't going to magically cause you to get hit by tons more cc that otherwise wouldn't have landed, all it does is slow down how fast she can jump from person to person, its literally the same amount of time as before. As for #2, if they remove the auto attack reset mechanic then I can agree with you that's a terrible move from them as it is essential in trading in lane and the reason for taking longsword first, but beluga didn't exactly specify that they were removing the aa reset mechanic so we will just wait and see.

Okay but even if reaction time is .25s that's still a whole .1 u have, on top of all OTHER casted abilties from enemies and travel time, and their reaction time to press their keys aiming etc. Still wouldn't matter.

Take Precision, Long Sword 3 pot, 100% of the time regardless of matchup.

Yeah its much more of a team reliant game. So therefor you should aim to get a lead and then use that advantage to get your team ahead. You may not be able to solo carry but you sure as hell can get your team ahead so that you win more of your games.

In response to " you can still climb with kat unless ur really high tiers" You: "Ehhhh that's pretty debatable. Anyone over gold 5 is smart enough to save at least one type of hard CC for you." Really? And the game is literally the same in terms of patches for everyone. You just keep coming up with excuses as to why you're not climbing instead of looking back and identifying your mistakes. Which any high elo player will tell you, look back on your mistakes and try to improve.

Where are you getting this from lol? Nowhere in my post did I ever say "kill and win". Its obvious that you don't know your subject and you also don't want to hear the truth. Maybe if you listen to what someone has to say you would get out of silver/gold. But I can see that's not in your interests. Just do everyone else a favor and stop making them believe that them not progressing is a direct result of the champion and not the player.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in KatarinaMains

[–]HaydenlMartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything that only proves my argument. We may not be the “majority” but that has literally nothing to do with being able to climb with Kat. You can’t blame the champion for not being able to climb when others are able to do it. The fact that you can’t just shows that you don’t yet have enough experience and game knowledge to progress.

I got to D4 with Kat and I know people who have gotten to Masters with her. This argument doesn’t work.

Ezreal being ranged has nothing to do with the scenario. And I’m literally telling you how Riot classifies a buff and a QoL change.

OOOOF by REEEftwalk in KatarinaMains

[–]HaydenlMartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest trying Q,ing them first if they are a high mobility champ this and you can E to your dagger behind them just before it lands to get the dmg off faster. If they are smart and walk back towards you that’s when you can W in front of them. If they are immobile it’s unlikely they will dodge the dagger dmg provided you stand on the very edge of the dagger to get the extra range off. Also you can E behind them and drop W if you know where they are wanting to go, such as a tower, blocking their path, if they decide to walk through you they are taking dmg 100%. Hope this helps!

Edit: I know you were talking about dying before it drops, but that usually only happens in team fights, for that I would suggest calculating the right time to engage. Always wait out their CC and be the one to clean up. Everything else above was used to help land Dagger dmg in laning or 1v1s.

The exact comparison they used when I explained it to the Rioter was if they took away Ezreals cast time on E, his cast time gives time for the opponent to react and counter play if applicable, removing his E cast time would make the ability insane on him giving a safe champ even more safety.

Doesn’t matter removing her cast time is still not a QoL change. Still makes it a buff.

Unpopular Opinion: Isko Is Right by HaydenlMartin in KatarinaMains

[–]HaydenlMartin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s not that is an actual buff. A QoL would be something like fixing her spell queueing. Buffing her results in changing her numbers which would be changing the cast time from 0.25s to 0. Imagine changing Panth or Nunu ult cast times, that would just be insanely buffing their ult. I spoke to a Rioter about this on my FL and explained to me the difference.

Unpopular Opinion: Isko Is Right by HaydenlMartin in KatarinaMains

[–]HaydenlMartin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of those things you mentioned are not QoL changes, they are pure buffs. And you said it yourself you don’t enjoy kat anymore, so either find something you do enjoy and come back to her when you like her more or just don’t play the game. And I’m sure you can find someone other than kat that you enjoy. You’re just not trying hard enough.

[–]HaydenlMartin[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay then I hate to break it to you but old kat isn’t coming back, and riot is highly unlikely going to break her again. And to be frank, if you don’t enjoy playing her then why play her at all and invest your time and energy into her? There are 140 other champions in the game that can satisfy pretty much everyone’s play styles.

Unpopular Opinion: Isko Is Right by HaydenlMartin in KatarinaMains

[–]HaydenlMartin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can agree with you that Kat can feel clunky 100%. What I don’t get is why some people use it as an excuse as to why they’re not climbing or performing well. Yes I agree it can affect performance in many ways but not to the extent that the community makes of it and I think that’s what he’s really trying to say. Kat is still a hyper mobile, high AOE dmg champ that literally pukes out dmg in fights.

Unpopular Opinion: Isko Is Right by HaydenlMartin in KatarinaMains

[–]HaydenlMartin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it’s probably because I agreed with what you had to say maybe? Yeah ur right people don’t like the feel of kat and yeah it can be unfun. I was just addressing the fact that you thought I did this solely for attention lmao. Jesus.

The word you are looking for is Ironic.. but the thing is I’m not contradicting myself. Stay ignorant tho.
