bad

This guide is terrible, maybe it's useful in co-op ais but most certainly not here.
and that video you have posted isn't even you playing.


Please, dont disgrace the world with your idiocy.

I think that the aesthetics of the guide are pleasing. The build is ok, but I've never actually expected Karthus to run into a fight and survive. The initial damage that a caster brings to the table is immense considering that Karthus is a heavy-nuker. I think that the build looks fun and you made it an interesting read, no doubt about that. Good stuff.

what needs to be said has been said, also, you show in your guide that you have no knowledge even of the ranked process. and i quote, "you have no way of knowing if a range ad carry will be facing you." yes you do. but first, in ranked, the ad carry goes bot. that's just how it works. moreover, it's called draft pick. you will know exactly who is facing you. i recommend you archive this build, and when you're ready to make a higher level build, come try again. best of luck in your endeavors, but this build is not going to work in level 20+ play. try again later.

nice idea but might not be so smart. The enemy team only needs to take some magic resistance and ur damage output is essentially reduced significantly, especially considering you have no magic penetration or magic reduction items.

With such love movement speed, you aren't going to be able to do anything in team fights. The enemy team will be kiting and finding ways to changing the fighting position, putting you out of position to do any damage. Once your whole team is dead, you will be dead in just a matter of seconds.

This may work in lower leveled games but it will not work in ranked or higher levels. Reason I know becaue my friend also tried it against me and I quickly too him down as Akali with my normal build.

This build is possibly one of the worst none troll guides. Not only is the build itself completely backwards (no boots or def items) but you say things that are also equally unintelligent(interuptable ult, not working passive) before you make a "gaurentee" you should probably know what your talking about.

All I can say is don't knock it before you try it because assuming makes an *** out of u and me.

You'd recommend to take Cleanse to counter their CC, but you trade in your boots for another offensive item? It doesn't matter if you take Cleanse since you can't get away with your 300 MS.
I can't find any information about the early/mid lanephase besides your farming with Q and E as if you have endless mana (I'm talking about level 1-11 where you don't have your archangel staff).
What do you do with your opponent on the lane? How do you counter different kinds of champions? This guide lacks of information everywhere - and the information you give new people are not correct everytime (to say it the nice way).

So, Karthus is a kamikaze-champion? Let's go through this scenario. Let's stay Karthus(you) ini's the fight (that's what you're saying curbstommp). The enemy Amumu will Q him first, when your teammates arrive Amumu casts his Ultimate for another stun. You're most likely dead before you layed even ONE mine.
As the enemy team is not ******ed they know about your passive. Their Ranged AP/AD-Carries will stay out of your range and all you can do is pop your ultimate.
That's a failway of playing Karthus.

You have to let the tank ini, try to catch as many enemies as possible with your wall and start getting a bit closer to them. Have your E active and lay mines to **** them off. IF you're getting focused use the passive of zhonyas' hourglass to be save for 2 seconds.
And for gods sake, don't wait with your ultimate for too long. If you only use it to get the one who are escaping with low life, you fail playing Karthus. His ult can be gamechanging if you use it while the teamfight, as EVERY of the enemy champion will get damaged heavily.

This guide provides the wrong, but sadly most common view of Karthus' playstyle.

Downvoted.
