Great guide but a few things.

Anivia has 2 interrupts:
Her stun and her wall.If she places her wall on the aRea you are standing on you will immediately be pushed aside therefore stopping your ult.

Gragas also has 2 interrupts:
His body slam is a stun and his ult is a knockback.

And also karma doesnt have a stun she has a snare so no interrupts.

Hey mentor =)

I love the changes in the guide! It's always nice to see guides keeping up to date, especially when in season changes and new patches. Great job at updating the guide! Keep 'em comin'!
Also nice with the extra info you've added (many of which were people's questions and such).

Hello again, I came back with some more questions :)

1) I'd like to get your thoughts on ''double-edged sword'' vs ''expose weakness'' masteries on katarina. I was wondering about that since i just noticed it (myself have been running d.e. sword on all my APC/ADC builds) so was just wondering what is your thinking behind it.

2) I've also seen that you rather take 2 points in the ''enchanted armor'' insted of one more in ''block'' and the other in ''unyielding'' and again would like to know your thoughts behind that. From what i know i think that runes/masteries are mostly about early game help and so i'd say it helps you more with aa block (with d shield it's -12dmg/aa) since you won't be buying much mr/armor early.

3) I've also been trying some new pages and have found one that i really like, i'll post it if you maybe wanna try it or something but i'll leave the teaching to you ^^ 24/5/1 http://gyazo.com/fda2962241889c1ec72d60ea41718a29
scount masterie might help with some ward-jumps :)

4) And for the match ups section... I'd suggest that you don't do it alphabetically but focus on the meta champs first, like now: leblanc, ziggs, nidalee, orianna... when you have the time ofcourse!

5) Looking at your prefered build... I see that you don't pick up liandrys and pick up a GA instead. My questions are when do you sell Haunting Guise to buy GA and when do you pick up a/the defensive item - do you have it set to a number (like with ADCs it's mostly the 5th item) or do you pick it up when you feel like (you need) it (if so when would you recommend it, e.g. ''rabadons, boots and zhonyas are a must before a def item'' or ''you can choose to build a def item after boots and dfg, get those first'' etc.)? Of couse if you have someone fed and he's roaming you want to pick some def to counter him, i'm just talking in general... It's a wierd question since the usual answer is ''judge by the situation, not every game is the same, look at enemy team...'' but I'd just like... I'm gonna stop talking now because it's just going in circles :P

6) In the item section for early game you have 3 items to go for (these here: http://gyazo.com/1abdc9c4bea136b96c8b200d2dc970c3)
One for if you have a lead, one for behind and one for behind and one for AD. Which one to go for if you're equal/if your team is behind but you're ahead in lane etc.?

Thanks again and no problem with answering me later, I just like that you're interacting and trying to answer the questions :D

A quick tip on kat . You can use two abilities at once by clicking it at the same time. (must be quickcast)

for example if you hit Q -E at the same time she will cast Q then followed by a quick E . However it will not consume the mark because you'll arrive before the dagger so you have to follow it up with an autoattack or hit Wsinister steel-R at the same time.. she'll do a quick Wsinister steel followed by a ravaging R if you're in it to kill an enemy..

I am so sorry, I guess I did overlook your comment,
But thank you for being so understanding ^^.



Yes I will be adding Hextech to the items
Just to show people why not to buy it.
Since people keep asking it will be a good thing to put it in
So I won't get any more questions about it x3.

As for the maxing Q vs W section,
That would actually be a pretty good idea.
A lot of people have different playstyles,
And since Kat's skill sequence is so flexible
It can be different for other type of players.

Once again,
I'm sorry for not replying until now D: .

Since you've been busy I think you didn't see my post. Would you mind giving me the answer now, thanks ^^
And good luck with whatever you have trouble with. Btw got some really nice resoults with your build :D

I own all Kat skins so far,
Except the Red Card Katarina one,
Which I will definitely be grabbing once it comes back on sale in June :3.
My favorite one right now has to be Kitty Kat Katarina ^^.

I'm sorry about the late response,
I have been having to deal with a lot stuff lately
So I haven't been able to work on my guide as I had planned.
And I do agree with some of the things you're pointing out right here
And I will do my best to fix these as soon as I can.

Just out of curiousity... What Katarina skin do you own / what's your favorite kat skin.

List of things I disagree on:

Max an ability by lvl 9. Otherwise you deal noticeably less damage than you would if you had maxed another one by lvl 9.

Change scaling mr glyphs to flat ones because of the current mids who are played the most ( LeBlanc, Orianna etc.). Otherwise you will probably lose trades/take too much harass in the early game

Boots start is practically useless after the movement speed change (+20 or something movement speed was added to every champion and the same amount was taken away from the boots of speed)

I don't know why you scatter the early game items so much. I don't really understand your love towards Haunting Guise either since it pretty much just sets you behind. If you get Haunting Guise, get it, but don't scatter the little item pieces so much. Get full items instead.

Suggesting Mejai's Soulstealer is like a core item really earns this guide downvotes. Still doubting if I should downvote or if I shouldn't

Distortion enchantment is always more useful than Alacrity. The only ones that really are worth considering are Homeguard and Distortion

Double-Edged Sword is probably better than Expose Weakness

Unyielding is better than Enchanted Armor

A continuation for the boots start thing:
You call it a good starting option against skillshot reliant mids while it really isn't. You won't even notice the difference and anyways you are going to dodge skillshots with your Shunpo, not the +25 movement speed.

Cheatsheet vs. Items explanation - Early game items
Use separated build in the cheatsheet because it makes it look like you are going to get every single item which is shown in the cheat sheet's early game build.

Late Game items:
Deathfire Grasp IS NOT a late game item and you should get it pretty much every game. And pretty early, too.


I want an explanation on these and a proper one please. Until then I'll have to downvote as this guide doesn't seem to be as good as it could.

Let me help you. That item sucks ****, never buy it, you ciuld remove it from the game and I wouldnt give a single ****, it gives so little and the spellvamp isnt even good, dfg is 9001x better to rush and gunblade is just a waste of an item for kat. Its really only used for people who have another self healing atribute in their kit like Akali and Vlad. And if you are going to sell it later it's just become a waste of gold
