Thanks for all the feedback, I will do my best to address your concerns shortly. I apologize for the lack of updates but I was focused on school and work the last few months and haven't had a chance to even play the game, much less update the guide. I'll definitely go ahead and update the guide with relevant information and as for the visuals I'll try my best. I'm not the most artistic person and I tried my best with them and focused on keeping the content detailed and manageable.

Abyssal should be needed for any matchup against AP now.

This guide is rather outdated. Needs some work and some updating before i change my vote.

I don't like the visuals but other than that its a nice guide.

Very informative and lots of in depth info. Finally made it out of bronze!

Thanks for the love guys! Great job finding the message :D

I love it. All the themed humor in this guide is just too rich.

WINNING IS EASY

Great guide! I made an account just to upvote, hope there's more on the way. :D

Hey, thanks for the feedback! It's greatly appreciated. I agree that Poppy would be a semi-difficult match-up, but I personally have never laned against her with Kat before. I did not include Poppy in my guide because I tried to keep it to major Mid-laners only and Poppy doesn't see much play in that lane (from my experience at least).
As for the match up, I'd probably go with the AD start, max my Q first, and ask for ganks. I would most likely build towards my "Tanky/Damage" build unless I had a large lead in which case I would build regularly. In case I was getting rekt, I would try my best to roam, and as a last resort I would just go for the "Losing to AD" build. Kat may not be able to kill Poppy in-lane, but Poppy doesn't have much kill pressure either as long as Kat does not position horribly (avoids being in a situation where Poppy can stun you, similar to avoiding Vayne's condemn). Kat basically should not engage on Poppy at all during laning unless there's a gank or Poppy was poked down drastically. Poppy is a great dueler so Kat really has to play safely; using Q to farm/poke and saving E to escape potential engages. Assuming everything goes to plan, and the farm ends up even, I believe Kat would be a greater asset in teamfights than Poppy. That's why I would suggest playing safely and farming and aiming for mid-game teamfights. This is when you are strongest and Poppy hasn't gotten to 'insta-carry-delete' mode yet. That being said I would most likely rate the match-up with a difficulty rating of 4/5.

Hey great guide, am using it myself. One thing to add though, Poppy is a terrible match-up against Katarina, Katarina gets wrecked with knockbacks and huge dmg at all times. Not as substantive as other reviews, but there it is, for what it's worth!
