I have been watching a lot of scarra and TiensiNoAkuma (definitely the top 2 kat players) recently, and I have noticed that they are both getting DFG almost every time now. Also, they both run flat MR blues and flat armor yellows, unlike what is suggested in this guide.

I've come here saying it before, but another Pentakill, soon after I charged right back into the base and got a Quadrakill. <3

Think you should change the title of the guide ^^

TiensiNoAkuma is 2400-2500 rating :D

i'm a main kat player, and your guide is awesome, very usefull in this moment to me, I only have a question, how do you manage 3 or more activation items, like DFG, hextech gunblade and zhonyas hourglass, for me is a bit hard to activate the 3 in a tf, had no problem with the DFG + HG + ignite + bouncing blades + shunpo + lotus combo, but after that, when need the hourglass, i never find it, and is a bit slow to click it in your items box, and in some games, i find myself with 4 activation items, adding quick sash to the list.

hi i bought kata and i read you guide to get better with her after trying this guide: http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/your-ap-katarina-du-couteau-resource-dont-play-with-knives-61072

i think i followed all your advice and i keep losing most of my games with kat
is that kat can make anything without his hextech gunblade?
is that she only can kill ap squishies ?
by maxing bouncing blade u can farm but u cant kill anyone and by maxing shumpo it's harder to farm but u can escape and kill running low hp ennemies is there something i didnt understand?
evantually i think that most of her dmg come from her ult( right?) and i followed your advice of dont engage with her to avoid CC but too often i just wait for the end of the fight or i die... with the idea of relying on shunpo she can do something once each 4 to 6 second no?

anyway seems a lot of work on your guide and i hope you'll answer to me thanks

Kat gets a really big dmg boost when u get gunblade, thats why its best to rush it first
Once she gets DFG she can kill some of the more tanky champions, however, u should focus on taking out the carrys first
At early levels all u should do is farm up for mid game, where kat's dmg just destroys everything, and bounching blade is a reliable farming and harassing tool
I think you're waiting a bit too long, if you watch closely in a team fight, you'll see that most ppl blow off their cc almost instantly when a fight starts
Most of her dmg is from her ulti, yes, but her passive is what really makes her scary

If you need more help, watch one of tiensi's commented full games on youtube. That and his tips and tricks are really helpful
