It is she same case as Akali but Diana just hurts more early levels, at level 6 do not let her hit her q

MAGIC DAMAGE PER DAGGER: 35 / 55 / 75 (+ 25% AP) (+ 37.5% bonus AD)
MAXIMUM DAMAGE TO EACH ENEMY: 350 / 550 / 750 (+ 250% AP) (+ 375% bonus AD)
let's look at her pros:
+ Anti-carry - Katarina main role in the team is to dispose of the enemy carries. In other words, she is a champion whose sole purpose is to literally delete the enemy carry, e.g. that super-farmed Syndra or that annoying Vayne.
+ Burst - Katarina's combo is inherently very fast due to how her abilities link together. This is what makes her so deadly, she can Q>W>E>R someone and they drop dead at her feet. Very few champions can survive a fully built
+ Assassin - simply put, an assassin is a champion who specialises in killing weaker champions, particularly ones who don't have a lot of HP.
...... She also throws knifes and her hair changes on most skins, how cool is that :D...
That fight preparation part is crucial as if you get stunned once you may be bursted down and useless, which you don't want to be as AP carry and main damage source.
After the engage pops don't wait too long and go in, get a kill or not, then jump to a ward / Zhonya's Hourglass then jump to a ward ; if you are winning the fight just jump on the next squishy target and the more important one.
If she gets 3 or more champions in her Glacial Prison you should Death Lotus
you and Maokai are good for catching out enemy champions, if he uses his Twisted Advance you can Q>E>W>R and they should be dead
It's the same as Maokai but with his Death Sentence
Same as Thresh and Maokai but with his Apprehend
Same as Maokai, Thresh and Darius slightly, but with her Zap!
she beats you most levels so try your best to farm and hope you win late game
don't get poked that much and call for help from your jungler (hopefully with an interruption)
You have her level 1-5 to take advantage of it, and if you hit level 6 first, bait her Moonfall with your Q>E>W
He's annoying laning phase for some people but if you know he will W>E>Q bait it by going near your creeps, and Shunpo to a different location, preferably using a minion
He can just Curse of the Sad Mummy and the rest of the team picks you off
Late game he can focus on just Unstoppable Force you can the other carry, then the rest of your team picks you off
If you ever see a leona come near you, ever, run.
Poke them without taking that much poke back
Get 950 gold or 1600 for Aether wisp or Needlessly large rod
Roam bot at 6
THINK carefully when to go into a teamfight
When ever I go back I buy a ward and ward drake ( 5th drake OP! )
my finished build is normally ( and in this order ) : Luden's Tempest >> Mejai's Soulstealer >> Zhonya's Hourglass >> Void Staff >> Sorcerer's Shoes >> Rabadon's Deathcap
Win the game :D
