good info. good build. good guide.

Hmm, I was going to screenshot you downvoting with "i just dont like you" and put it in my sig as well, but I guess you changed your post too early.

I like it C:

Not enough chapters and about 5 lane-matchups. and I disagree with rylai's/liandry's

You make me feel like such a noob. I didn't even play LoL until after her rework.

In lane it doesn't, but it's a difference in playstyle. I've seen a lot of katarina players who just went all-out straight up damage. It seems promising, I'm not sure. My days of actually playing kat are over anyways, stopped liking her after her rework.

A build that prioritizes damage will always beat out a build that prioritizes defense. That's why balancing a champion like Olaf is so damn difficult.

Besides, I never dismissed a tankier setup. You can feel free to buy more than one survivability item. I state in the items section that all of your purchasing decisions should be made ingame. It's just that tanky Katarina will never be as good as full damage Katarina, and that's a fact.

_{P.S. that **** in the changelog section is just joking im srs}

75% is too low imo, full ap Q max Kat works. I prefer a more tanky setup but this works.

Very Nice! You keep it very short and simple, I like dat.

Yes, Command: Shockwave does stop Katarina's ult. Which is part of why I like to counterpick Katarina with Orianna. Command: Protect, Command: Shockwave, Command: Dissonance is a strong combo to stop a Katarina kill attempt and potentially turn it in Ori's favour. It might be worth mentioning that Kat's 'Hard Poke' opens her up to a series of Ori's Q, W and stacked Clockwork Windup unless the Ori thinks a jungle gank is incoming and GTFOs; this is not a favourable trade at all (for Kat :P I like to bully them). Also, I've always found that the point at which Katarina uses Death Lotus in a team fight is usually a point where I can catch her and the rest of the enemy team in Shockwave, but I might just be against bad Kat's (I usually am, but I also play stupid against them). Of course, DL has a much lower CD than Shockwave.

My info aside I like this. I feel I might actually be able to play Katarina without feeding after reading this. I feel it gives me a better impression of laning with her than other Kat guides I've read.
