A lane decided but how often you can dodge her charm. Early boots help. q e in and w to dodge her charm with the ms it gives. Low elo jgers always int ahri so dont spam for ganks unless u cannot win by urself
Akali
Taste of blood is helpful. Very scary at first, but gets easier. Dont get poked by her q. You can win this lane, but you have to punish her if she wastes her energy or smokescreen. You can dodge her r2 with e. Dont r until she has no e or r unless shes really low
Anivia
Gets harder the better the anivia is, but in low elo they always just run up and try to q, so you can tp on her with e. She cant follow roams or shove well early game so take advantage of this
Annie
Play safe until lvl 3, wait for her to use stun and go in. Putting this at 3 cuz she requires no brain power so low elo annies dont need to do much while u do
Aurelion Sol
his comets do a lot but thats early levels. Sacrifice farm and then kill him post 3. His roams are extremely effective to be vigilant
Brand
Dodge q = win lane
Diana
I hate diana. Winnable but requires no brain power for Dianas early trades so you have to keep her shield in mind. If ur jg helps you can snowball very hard tho, as shes always forced to shove
Ekko
Kill him early, watch for stun. This matchup mostly depends on how well he uses his e to dodge ur daggers. He does well in low elo cuz everyone just ignores him until he scales
Fiddlesticks
Just let him get prio. You can maybe kill him post 6 cuz of grievous on ur ult and his lack of mobility, but he has a feat and silence. A decent ban if you see him a lot
Fizz
Hard to win with all his safety, but you have the ability to dodge his ult and punish how often noob fizz players waste his e.
Cassiopeia
I put this at minor because low elo players cannot play cass. They can win laning phase but cannot kite and just die over and over in teamfights. be EXTREMELY careful for her w as it removes you from the game if ur on it
Galio
Classic Kat counterpick, excellent ban choice. He shuts down ur roams, tanks ur combo, can setup for his jg to gank. Ur best bet is to dodge his e when he uses it to engage and then use to daggers for e reset on his taunt. Not impossible to win, but if you are of equal skill level he will win lane
Heimerdinger
Heim players just use all their turrets and shove. Dont try and kill him in laning phase if he has turret and wait for teamfights. Dodge his stun and w and you should win the fight
Irelia
Hard matchup and you cant really win lane, but low elo irelias like to think they are high elo and jump into a 5v1 and throw away their lead. If the irelia ur against has a high kda, dont try to kill her
Jayce
Kat counterpick, almost nothing you can do in lane, but most low elo players dont play/know about jayce so i wouldnt recommend banning him
Karthus
Just fight him post lvl 3. He can only win if you step on every q and walk through his wall to shred ur mr. You snowball insanely well in this matchup
Kassadin
Although its not as bad as most people say, kass is still strong against kat. Post 16 he is so strong and in low elo most games go on long enough to let him 1 shot an entire team. Another great ban choice
LeBlanc
Skill matchup, try to dodge her w with ur e, you are better off fighting her post 6 or once she uses all her pots
Lissandra
No one plays her, but her root, slow, and ult stun make it very hard for you to ever be effective
Malzahar
BUY QSS. dont let his visions thing from e target you as itll whittle you down quickly. Break his spell shield, dodge silence, and its a pretty free kill
Neeko
Kat beats low elo neekos cuz they just throw out their e all the time cuz they wanna root q you. E through it and shell have to take at least 1 dagger
Orianna
Skill matchup that favors Kat. Lose farm till 3 and then trade
Qiyana
Very aggressive lane, not too hard if you can dodge her root. Dont engage until she uses her ult in teamfights as it will destroy you
Syndra
If she uses her e too often, you win the lane. She needs to save it to push you back. Zhonyas not bad here to dodge her ult
Talon
No one in low elo listens to pings, so he just roams and ur team will blame you. you can kill him in lane but dodge his w on the way back and dont try to kill him until after lvl 2 cuz thats his strongest
Tristana
Tristana mid players will kill someone later in their lives. You cant do much here except hope a tank gets fed. Take dorans shield
Veigar
dont get stunned and you reach ur powerspike much earlier than he does. get cutlass before revolved cuz the slow is very helpful
Vel'Koz
His ult does disgusting dmg, so buy hp items. You win lane if he misses q. He cant follow roams but be quick cuz he can shove fast. This difficulty is vel dependent
Viktor
He kinda counters you, but most players are scared of kat so wait for him to waste his shield on minions or his w on a dagger you didnt tp to and you win
Yasuo
The higher ur elo, the higher the difficulty. Most people think yas counters kat but the yas player needs a brain, and half of them dont
Yone
Subject to change, but shield and double knockup make it so hard to solokill, even if hes new to yone
Zed
Very hard until you get used to him. If you have played zed before it becomes much easier. Use ur e to dodge his blades after he sends out his shadow with w. buy seekers before gunblade, and zhonyas second unless hes inting
Ziggs
Make sure you ban ziggs because his ban rate is almost 0%
Easy lane, just be mindful of his ult and ability to melt turrets. Dont ult until he uses his w (20 second cd so u have a lot of time)
Zoe
Rng cuz of her spells with w. Zoe is kinda broken rn. Low elo players cannot dodge skill shots so if she gets ahead your team will hate you as a person. Laning against her isnt the worst but also not pleasant
Karma
Her e shield is perfect for u
Yuumi
Yuumi is your perfect support
Amumu
Nice ult combo together, but works better if u duo
Ashe
Her slows help you when you roam
Thresh
Low elo threshs forget their w all the time but if they land a hook u have so much setup
Master Yi
Pretty good with ur combined dmg output in mid-late game
Zac
So much setup for you
Ziggs
Remember to ban ziggs
Kayn
Ur power spikes are at very different times unless he goes blue kayn
Kai'Sa
Low elo kai players arent very good, and could potentially lead to a full ap team, and mr is kats nightmare

I hope what I've said here can help you climb, as you are probably better at the game than me.
If people end up using this I'll add more tips and stuff cause I've spent a long time looking at Katarina tips and do not want it to go to waste on such a terrible player.
