General Explanation
PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE BEFORE READING ANY FURTHER
NOTE: This guide might be in constant changes here and there, duo to specific reasons. But it won't change completely turning into an all different guide.
Introduction
Ok, so this is my first guide and i decided to choose

Please note that i'm unexperienced with most of things, but i feel that for a start i can just TRY and create some sort of random build which i used once or two.
If you have any question and/or you think this isn't a good guide, i can't help you, because my eyes are not yours, therefore you'll see things your way and i'll see my way.
But i supose i'll get better with time.
Some informations
I think it would be smart from me to warn about my difficulties on writting in english, so please be patient while reading all of what it's in here, because it surely has some bad vocabulary, bad grammar and most of all, repetitive words. I'm very sorry for that.
This build is not suposed to be anything special, it's just another one of those strange builds out there.
Be flexible with the Spells.

The

Spells That Should Be Avoided













I tested these runes and they seem to fit well, but let me clarify too that everyone has their own ideas for runes, so please respect my choices as i respect yours.
Why These Runes
The reason why i choosed these runes, it's because i wanted to build as much attack speed as i could in order to easily stack


It's also obvious that you're not going to put 300 AD on a Katarina, since she's not even a Fighter or a carry, that would just destroy her lane, that's why it's safer to build a lot of attack speed, some attack damage and sustain if needed.
I Don't Like Your Choices
That's ok. Just be sure that you at least respect it.
Although, if you feel that you can create a critical, yet respectful comment do it so and i'll care to read. But please, do not comment with intentions of changing the runes, this is my build, my choices, if you don't like the runes then make your own.
Please maintain the core items - but be flexible with the other 3 spaces left. I know how League of Legends matches can be total randomn and telling you to follow a very strict build, won't help you out with everything you may find. But still, follow the items i provided as you may.
Why These Items
Having attack speed in this build is important, but you surely need attack damage, otherwise your attacks wouldn't be that good.
If you feel confident, buy as much AD as you can, without forgetting the AS.
I do want to call attention on some 2 items,


You may be thinking, if i wanted a lot of attack speed, then why choosing Malady and Trinity Force?
Well, to be honest, i know that



Building more AD than AP, on Katarina, isn't a problem at all, since she's a Hybrid champion. Surely her Bouncing Blade isn't that useful without tons of ability power, but whatever.
I Don't Like These Items
As i stated above, it's ok, we all have different ideas. Anyways, i'm not going to repeat it. If you haven't read it yet, then scroll up a little bit and do it.
Other Observations
Be aware, that the items build might change in time, duo to any changes on them.
Notice that you will be a little bit more item dependant.
Maintaining balanced spells, since we don't want to focus much on them anyways, it's good.
Yes it's just good, not much will be clarified here.
Abilities Usage
Spam your

sinister steel, is going to be more useful here, since it scales well with attack damage points.
Don't spam this one so much, it may push your lane too much and it's not very save to do so.
Save

I know that

Keep in mind that it can still be a good hit on a champion if you Shunpo and/or Bouncing Blade are/is on cooldown.
Well, i like these masteries. They have the offense that i need and some little sustain that is... almost nothing, but anyways it's always good.
Obviously i have 4 points in

I don't like


Yes i have 3 points in

Also, veteran's scar is good to have, because we have also health runes. So that's like:
30 + 26 x 3 = 108
Which is not that bad on early game in my opinion.
Notice that her pros and cons might change from build to build, this one is not an exception.
You can't get too close to your enemy, but you can last hit much easier. This will give you some sort of advantage, but only if you're close enough to the tower and avoid pushing a lot, though it might be actually easier depending on your enemy.
On middle game, you will want to stay behind your teammates and let them just initiate, because you need to get closer in order to attack - but since

Pros
Faster farming;
Easier to kill 1vs1;
Better sustain in lanes duo to lifesteal+attack speed;
Better chances at surviving if silenced yet receiveing big damage;
Cons



Less poking with abilities;
Kinda more item dependant;
Other Observations
All the others pros and cons, such as good poking and no CC, belong to the standard Champion Stats.
Warding
Buy wards as much as you can, but don't exagerate. A sight ward it's fine, since you just want to check for ganks and/or escaping successfully .
If you by any chance have the money, buy one or two

Anyways, take care and goodbye.
