Riot Reveals Update to Katarina for Upcoming Season
Riot has just released a video showcasing the updates made to champion Katarina for the upcoming season. The video provides players with a quick rundown of what they can expect from the new Katarina. You can watch the video here.
Improved Mobility and Strategic Gameplay
The update to Katarina focuses on enhancing her mobility and allowing players to participate in fights without taking unnecessary risks. It encourages a more strategic approach rather than an all-or-nothing playstyle.
Changes to Abilities
Katarina’s Q ability now leaves a dagger on the ground where her first target was hit. Picking up the dagger will deal damage in a small area.
Katarina’s new W ability, Preparation, grants her increased movement speed and throws a dagger in the air. After a short delay, the dagger drops back down, dealing damage in a small area when picked up.
Her E ability, Shunpo, no longer requires her to lock onto a target. She can now choose where to appear, either on the side or behind her opponent.
