So the first item i should get is Rabadon's Deathcap first right? And also should i get a hetchtech gunblade if i fall behind?
It depends. If you are VS a LeBlanc or Veigar or any champion with high burst damage, try to rush an Abyssal Mask.
If you are VS a Pantheon or Talon or generally AD Casters, rush a Zhonya's Hourglass.
If your lane is fairly easy or if you plan to roam a lot, I would get a Needlessly Large Rod and later upgrading it into a Rabadon's Deathcap or a Zhonya's Hourglass.
About the Hextech Gunblade, I wouldn't get it. Spell Vamp doesn't benefit Katarina that much and her abilities don't scale with Attack Damage as much as they used to. It's a waste of a slot if you ask me. It used to be good with the old Katarina, after the rework you can benefit more from other items.
Looks pretty nice, only a long lastig discussion is whether to max your w or q first, I personally do my Q, since Kat is realy weak early game (specially since her ult got nerfed early and buffed for late game), you have to farm/harass with your q most of the times, and just time your w really good to get some last hits. Maxed your W first will allow for easier last hitting on very short range, but you will loose your hasr*** potential/last hitting with your Q.
You are right, but it depends on how you harass. It depends on the lane opponent too, but if you can do your normal combo, you should max Sinister Steel first. I max Bouncing Blades first if I'm not in the position to do this (being against a Kassadin for example). Maxing Sinister Steel can provide you easier farm too.
Also, there are some cons on maxing Bouncing Blades, an example being that the lane will be pushed more quickly. But that's my personal thinking, and I might be wrong. It is a long debatable question.
Really nice guide, however i have to disagree with your rating of rylai's and liandry's torment
These two items are in the top 10 items for Katarina in my opinion. Although i dont always build these items i still consider them in every game. Besides that though your guide looks amazing! :D
Thanks!
You are right. They are good but I would say as standalone items, they aren't as favourable. Only if you plan to build them both.
I will change the ratings and the descriptions.

+1 I can't say anything that helps to improve your guide ...

Here's your review!
Cheatsheet 9/10
Overall a very good cheatsheet. Though I feel that you are lacking some things. For example you could add some explanations and I feel likt there are options missing for facing an ad mid. You can do that by adding a second build or more purchase orders.
Content 8/10
You are explaining the most important things in your guide and you even discuss matchups. Thought I feel like you could expand the items section. You are explaining the different items but not your purchase order. I think someone really new will have no idea in what order to build all these items.
Coding/Appearance 10/10
Your coding is really great. Your guide is very easy to read and I really like the Ratings of the items and matchups at the right as well as the summary template at the beginning.
Total Score 27/30
This is a guide with very good coding. You also have lot of conent in it but you can still expand it a bit to improve the guide.

Thanks for the review!
Interesting points. I'll try to improve what you said :)

Don't forget about Caitlyn. Oh damn.
Couldn't really find anything to correct :/ But possiblt add the AD Casters ( Talon, Kha'Zix, Pantheon) to your matchup section. Talon is a pretty popular pick, after all...
You obviously talk about Sheriff Caitlyn :3
I already have Talon, but yes, since so many people ask about AD Casters in the enemies section, I will make sure to write about them.
Good guide overall and I already gave it +1.
To give critic however.
- No Haunting Guise included in cheat sheet ? Nowhere ?
- I find lack of starting options & clear explanation over them , like you could make note above it. People will blindly follow it and dunno what to do with the wards.
- You are ****ed if you face AD mid.
Thanks.
Although I have most of the viable items in the items section, I will add Haunting Guise and try to make improvements in the Cheat Sheet.
I didn't really expect to find such an in-depth guide. Pretty colors aside, it does have a lot of content. I personally think that Armor Seals are superior (especially if you wish to poke with W, that's how I used to play Katarina), but its a preference of choice.
You have already a +1. Would be nice, as someone said above, if you talked a bit more against AD caster matchups, which are really hard to deal with for Katarina.
Thank you :D
I will try to add some AD Casters shortly.
