Hi BurThaMan, thank you for posting,

The thing you said, is the same thing i said in my opinion... First of all, i've never talked about an AD Kat, and i know Bouncing Blade has a part of AD, same with Kat's ult, but with different ratio.

The thing i wanted to say about Bouncing Blade was : In my way of playing, i just prefer harass with Bouncing blade first, even if my target gets hit by the last hit (so less damage) before going with Shunpo. I harass first until my enemy goes under 50% life, then i start to try to W, E then Q her (if im not level 6).

If i didnt understand this combo, i guess i would nerver play Kat again because this is her MAIN combo.

Thanks Deathalo44,

Its true, Sunpo do much damages than Bouncing Blade, but i prefer to harrass the enemy with keeping my HP if i have to tower dive than going to my target with Shunpo and receiving damages, maybe more than mines. And for the enemy, they feel kinda useless even bored watching me killing minions without doing anything. Its another aggressive game play.
Sometimes when i go mid,they switch because their mid ask for it. Its bad for their morali guess ^^'.


Hmm... I don't know of a better way to say this but you are just flat out wrong. DO NOT go bouncing blades on an AP build Kat. Her ratio for Blades is .8 AD which means if you went AD Blades would be doing the brunt of the work and hitting W first means every attack does the same dmg. But AP KAT/Shunpo is the only way to go imho. I know that you are concerned about taking huge damage but what you have to understand is your combo. W then E makes you less vulnerable for a time so you can get away. So hit W then E (shunpo) into them then Q them with blade toss, then run away.

Either way I'm downvoting due to the fact that you are telling people not to use Shunpo on an AP Kat build...

Mejai is really powerful, but the bad thing is most of player tend to avoid team fights when they reach 20 stacks, because they are scared to die. I guess im also worry about my stacks, or i need a good team with me. Also, 8 stacks can be very fast to get, but in the same time, if you dont play carefully, its also hard to reach. I would buy a Mejai only if i feel confident (about MY team).

For me, I prefer shunpo over bouncing blade (higher AP ratio) as well as being IN the team fight, kat's ulti on single targets is kinda lame, and it doesn't really do that much damage to a single target.

Other than that, its pretty good. You may want to add more items.

Oh, and Mejai is a good item, but not for your style of playing. You won't lose stacks much, but you won't gain them either. Mejai is cheaper than a Needlessly Large Rod, and in comparison, you just need 60 AP from mejai stacks (8 stacks only) and it beats needlessly large rod at a cheaper cost.

Hope it helps :)
