Okay it looks 'fine' but I'm gonna be completley honest, I don't know why you listed void staff as a bad item on Katarina, It is an INCREDIBLY efficent item on Katarina, Atleast give us a reasonable expalanation to why void staff is not good on Katarina instead of listing other Majic pen items that are supposedly 'Better'

"There are better spell pen items for 'us' such as Liandry's Torment, Sorcerer's Shoes and Abyssal Scepter"

Yes, there are good items with Magic pen but that doesn't mean void staff is a bad item pick! it's a pheonominal item on Katarina!

Void staff ignores 35% of your enemy's MR, add that with abysal scepter Aura, add that with sorcerer shoes, that's about 45+ from the enemy's MR ignored.

I just wanted to voice out my opinion since I main Katarina.
Please explain fully why void staff is a bad item pick in your opinion, with a reasonable explanation.

Thank you.


I don't think Void Staff is a bad item in general, I just think it's bad on Katarina. You can get the spell pen else where, while also making yourself tanky. Void Staff is too glass cannon for my liking, especially when I have options like Sorcerer's Shoes, Abyssal Mask, and Linadry's torment at my disposal. I guess the entire point is, why would you buy Void Staff when this build already has very little AP. Liandry's Torment gives health, spell pen, and some AP with a great passive. Liandry's can allow us to bypass more AP and rely on the DoT from it as a good chunk of our damage. Abyssal Mask gives AP and MR, and lowers all enemies MR which is far more beneficial than giving ourselves 35% spell pen.

So in short, there's no reason to build a pure AP/Spell Pen item, when we have no AP damage to follow it up, especially when there are other items, which might not pack as much spell pen, but grant us other things we want such as tankiness or a DoT, etc.

Wota is gold efficient with one champion in aura range

Wota is gold efficient with one champion in aura range, renekton is in no way a 2 for matchups, zed is not a 4. You say katarina has decent base damages when in reality they are pretty trash with the exception of ult. Wukong is not a bad champion by any stretch of the imagination either. Tryndamere missing from matchups.
