Katarina play

[quote=tehAsian]Buy wards. Lots of wards. Then when you get in trouble put them over a wall and [[shunpo]] to them ;D free [[flash]] every few seconds.[/quote]

[quote=moumoon]Get AP, her [[shunpo]] scales with it. Once you kill an enemy, your cooldown reduces, so its great to kill enemy champions under turrets - [[shunpo]] in, [[shunpo]] out. Done.[/quote]

[/quote] While this is, in general, good advice, please don't be that guy who only maxes out Shunpo first and ignores [[Bouncing Blade]] and [[Killer Instincts]]. In laning phase [[Shunpo]] will end with you losing trades 9/10 if your opponent has a brain, and it might even get you killed.[/quote]

[quote=Razzleberry]Katarina is amazing at ganking, but for this particular champ, I like actually buying wards myself instead of relying on our team's support to do so. Place them strategically so you have them as quick escape tools (Shunpo for the win!). I especially like using Ignite and Flash on Katarina. Ignite seals the deal and Flash is like an extra Shunpo for when the going really gets rough. Only thing I would be cautious about is that Katarina is extremely susceptible to stuns, which completely trash her Death Lotus. In team fights, I like to hesitate just a little before running in, because hopefully the enemy will have their stun/knock-up down. If not, try to Shunpo farther away from them while still in range with your ultimate, so they have to work a little to knock you up. And don't forget to use Hextech Gunblade's (if you don't have it, you really should...it's an amazing Katarina item) active ability right before ult-ing someone if they look like they can survive/escape your ult. I don't play Kat much anymore (more of the ranged carry/ support type right now) but I hope this helps![/quote]
