Hey I think this is a very cool guide, I unfortunately witnessed a Katarina Jungle in ranked today. My team got destroyed, they were very skilled at playing Kat. I've been trying it lately, but I was just curious why you have attack damage marks and CD reduction quints instead of Ability Power quints and magic pen marks?
Just to get a good first clear. With a good first clear, I can get rangers trailblazer and 3 hp pots, which allows me to put a lot of map pressure and CS before I have to go for a second back.
To explain: Monsters have 0 MR, so mpen doesnt help me with jungling at all. AD on the other hand is the strongest early game marks for any champion. Katarina jungle really just needs to survive the early game. CDR over AP runes because AP is all about the flat burst damage, which eventually, an extra 23-33 damage over the course of a game doesn't matter by mid game. CDR stays relevant all game for jungle clear speed and is still better for the early first clear.
