This is meant to be "your" guide.

Why you're just bending over to what other people state would be good for her is beyond me.

I.e, Katarina initiating? QSS and 35% reduction allows you to do it? are you high?
Initiating is for those with CC.
Your 35% reduction to incoming damage is substantial, true, but you won't have the health to make it do anything. Your job is to do damage. Not to take damage. You go in first? You'll die because you should have built for damage instead of survivability.

If you built survivability, you're not doing damage, and you will just be ignored. This is in conjunction with the fact that, seriously, Unless you're playing utter morons, it doesn't take much for the other team to go "hey X, save your Y skill to CC kat when she ults ok?"

You said Katarina isn't a good initiator. Actually, she is BY FAR ONE OF THE GREATEST initiators in the game if played well, due to her awesome W spell Preparation which reduces 35% incoming damage when used with Shunpo. What a pro Katarina player does is buy a Quicksilver Sash, W + Shunpo to the focused target, throw a Bouncing Blades then WAIT. What is he waiting for? That the enemy team use all the CC on him to kill him before he casts the ultimate. But with 35% reduced damage and AOE spellvamp from Hextech Gunblade with Bouncing Blades going from an enemy to another, it will be very hard to kill him especially that his team is behind him helping. After all the CC is cast on him, he uses Quicksilver Sash active, ignite the AD carry and Spin-2-win the sh*t out of them without worrying that he gets interrupted by CC.

This is only one for the many mistakes I've seen so far.

You can just copy and paste this under the W spell tips andd tricks, and i highly suggest you replace WotA for QSS.

I'm giving you a second change to rework this build or with all my respect i'm gonna have to downvote. Also the presentation lacks some key colors and such.


Thanks, will take it into my update!

Hmph,support is for supporting your teammates and assassins are there to kill.That is very stupid to get.Also what you can do is take out that Void Staff and take in Banshee's Veil.

WotA was actually one of the optionals for supporting your teammates, but I'll take it off the list ASAP!

Great formatting and overall presentation. However, there is a lack of indepth information, and everything is rather 'brief'. There are many tricks and tips with Kat and her Shunpo, not to mention the use of W, as well as how to use the ultimate properly.

There are also other alternative items, including GA, DFG, Banshees, and so on.

All in all, the guide is well formatted and written, but it brings nothing new to the table then the current guides.

No vote from me due to it.

Thanks, I'll make the change ASAP.
