Your guide is significanly flaws from a build standpoint. Will of the Ancients, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, and Ionian Boots of Lucidity are all very weak items on Katarina. She does not need the cooldown reduction or slow. Your skilling order is all over the place, when you should be maxing your three skill at levels 9, 13, and 18. Also, Katarina benefits very little from the utility tree, and you would benefit so much more from putting some points in the defense tree for early bulk. The Transmutation mastery is far from valuable, especially since Katarina will only get 1/3 of that amount on all AoE spells. .33% spell vamp is not worth building into the utility tree for.

Thats great to hear :D

Hope you have continue the success (:

Hey AdamSS!

+1 ;)

good guide,help me a lot

You have a major flaw in your guide. That flaw is building cool-down reduction, building Will of the Ancients, and especially building Rylai's Crystal Scepter.

Katarina does not need cool-down reduction when she has Voracity, which gives you instant refresh on her skills and the ability to use her ultimate twice if you kill/assist in the death of two or three enemy champions. Therefore, switch out the cool-down boots for Sorcerer's Shoes to hit harder in the laning phase.

Another flaw is that you're not maximizing your damage. Rylai's Crystal Scepter is a great item, but not on Katarina. It was horrible pre-remake and is still horrible on post remake Katarina. You get 80 AP and 500 flat health and a slow. You can get twice the amount of 80 AP from a Needlessly Large Rod for half the price. Health is nothing without mitigation, so you might as well build a little more glass cannon. Getting rylais is like saying you'll slow the enemy and your team will kill them for you.

Hextech gunblade is an adequate substitute to rylai's and a better item than will of the ancients, unless you have like two or more AP champs on your team. Hextech Gunblade provides a hard slow as well as more damage/sustain than Rylai's Crystal Scepter. However, I don't even get gunblade anymore because the spell-vamp is negligable due to Kat's weak early game damage, meaning you heal less since you do less damage post-remake. Health pots are better and cheaper.

Katarina got to love :) super crazy after remake.. I just hate that her ulty can be interrupted. But if it could not be then it would be impossible to win hahhah her.

But i hate when you say the little AOE doesnt do damage.. stfu. Shunpo and the AOE thing DO SOME DAMAGE :)! Woohoo. And also that spell gives you Movement Speed buff if you hit anything with it.... The AOE.

Katarina reworked buffed her alot. i will go play her now.

Nice looking guide, but can't +1 this, you have almost nothing on gameplay, and a fair bit of useless stuff. Quote IceCreamy - don't include lore. People don't want to see it. Also, since you have no use for mana and Intelligence is too far down the tree for 9 points, consider 21-9-0 instead.

It sucks that Katarina is unviable both before and after the remake though. She is just too unreliable. From my past experience playing with and against her, defeating her is as simple as saving CC for her Death Lotus.
