You win by dodging his skillshots, ahri doesn't need to hit you with E to kill you, overall damage of her Q is really strong, and his R will shut you down if you are barely alive.
Akali
Akali, weak in the early game, but strong when she gets her ultimate, she can easily obliverate your katarina only with Q-R-E. Who wins? the one with the better farm/score. If you are behind at lvl 6, the better you can do is gank bot so you improve your chances of balancing the odds. (One strong side for katarina, is that your ultimate will hit akali even if she's invisible)
Anivia
Avoid her Q, be faster, play agressive, anivia only deals high damage if you are touch by the icy skills.
Annie
With any just watch her stacks, if he is 3 or 4, play safe, wait till he uses the stun then dive her, you have to make annie feel not-safe. So she keeps her stun ready all the time, and only increase cs with basic attacks. (Higher CS means higher chances of victory)
Azir
Hard one, have strong attacks, always fights far from you. You better get help from your jungle. He really isnt tanky, but his spells are very tactical on behalf of his protection.
Brand
Just dodge skillshots, dont get caught by the stun combo. Easy to dive and run all the time.
Cassiopeia
Watch for her poision, its like anivia, she deals high damage to you if you are poisioned early by her Q or W. Her ultimate reach isnt far enough, play safe, poke her, dive and run
Cho'Gath
Dodge skillshots, but be aware, katarina is an assasin, good against low health targets, chogath is the opposite after early game. Gank to win, do not stay mid farming all the time.
Diana
Diana, like akali can easily shutdown katarina if she touched you with her Q, because of her R mechanics. Also, she gains protection from a shield skill. If your jungle does not help, then go get kills in other lane.
Fiddlesticks
Silence, fear, drain, what else? You should probably get help asap. thanks to god, fiddle in early is easy to kill because of his low health.
Fizz
Fizz can easily deny you, to win dodge his ultimate, and poke him all the time since the early game. He deals a lot more damage on 1v1.
Galio
A little tanky, try to farm at your best, be aware of his ultimate importance. Dont get confident, try to win by ganking. In teamfights wait for him to use his R, or face defeat.
Gragas
Isnt easy to kill, the one with the better cs and ganking skills will win.
Heimerdinger
He will take the mid lane, and make it his safezone, your ganks are better, avoid turret damage, and his granade. You still can 1v1 him because of his low hp.
Jayce
Avoid skillshots, be aware he can interrupt your ultimate at any time. Gank to win.
Karthus
Easy to dive, cant stop your ultimate, just kill it and run fast so he cant kill you while his pasive is up.
Kassadin
Not easy to 1v1, but if your jungle help you out, you can make mid your home. If not, gank to win.
Kennen
Poke to win, you can outplay him by doging his skills.
LeBlanc
She can deal high damage in no time, but she is squishy, so poke to win.
Lissandra
Poke to win, be aware of his ultimate, she will try to use it always she can use it. Beside that, its a fair 1v1. Always gank if you have the damage to kill.
Lux
Dodge her Q, and dive her. Dont dive her if you are not confident you can run away safely. Her Q is the only cc she has, so use it against her. If she feels safe going far from her turret, punish her.
Malzahar
Easy to kill, and easy to get yourself kiled. Why? because of his ultimate, which leads you to a certain death. Tips: Poke, not dive after his 6th lvl, and gank.
Mordekaiser
Hard to kill alone, if your jungle isnt going to gank, try to earn money by ganking. Beyond that, not a match for your teamfight overall damage.
Morgana
Dodge her Q, save E to shunpo out when she throws you her ultimate. Be agressive with the poke.
Nidalee
Dodge her Q, dive and run. Be aware of his kitty form which gives her extra damage.
Orianna
Poke, dive and run, avoid her cc. Ask for a gank if in need.
Ryze
Easy, he can only bind you to the floor, but cant interrupt your ultimate. On the bad side, his build is probably going to get him more hp than yours, so try to take advantage in early.
Swain
Easy to poke, dive and run, just remember that his ultimate if surrounded by lot of enemys, will heal him realy fast. So, save the ignite for when your ultimate is in cd and you have a chance to go for the kill after the poke.
Syndra
High single target damage, will make you turn dead in a second if her ult is up. What to do? Build MR, and get a little help, or just go straight AP and try with the pokes to take advantage.
Talon
Build hp and zhonyas first, poke him and dive him.
Teemo
Really hard to fight against this one in MID, but.. is teemo, right? So here it goes: Poke him, dive him, ult him, and make him feel ashamed for his insolence. PS: Mushrooms are still bad, so build abyssal scepter.
Twisted Fate
He can only kill you easily if he hits you with the yellow card. Poke, dive, and play agressive. Be aware of his ultimate, he can easily gank any lane or get to any place.
Veigar
Veigar is easy to kill, but.. his spells are really strong, avoid his W and E. In a game with no one getting advantage in equipment, think of veigar Q and R as 60-65% of your HP. So try to take advantage in the early, before his R is up, or just roam bot lane a lot.
Vel'Koz
Poke, hit and run. His HP isnt big, you can kill it with QWER in one single combo, just do not dive into his turret.(He will play a lot from far, because of his ranged skills)
Viktor
Easy to poke and dive, dodge his skills to win. He can get some shield that wil save him, be aware of it.
Xerath
Always plays safe, ranged spells are really good, he can stun you really easy. And if you get away his ultimate ratio range, if the player is skilled, can terminate you. Ask for ganks, only to stun or slow him, so you can poke, jump and kill. Beside that, if poke doesnt work, just gank bot.
Yasuo
Against AD, just rush zhonyas, get some hp, and dodge his skills. Not easy, but you can win if skilled. His wall of wind can stop your ultimate.
Zed
Rush zhonyas, get hp, dodge skillshots, use the zhonyas after he ults you.(to avoid his ult damage)
Ziggs
Easy to poke, dive and force him to jump away, but you will need to dodge all his skillshots always. He can spam his Q really fast, remember that it wil bounce in the floor in a linear pattern. His ultimate will show the surface it will explode, so goodluck avoiding it.(shunpo can make the difference)
Zyra
Avoid skils, easy to kill. Poke, dive and run, use your ult with confidence, she cant stop it, only run.
Riven
Poke after she uses the spells, be smarter. Get help from jungle, or just gank other lanes to win. You cant melee Riven, and she will save her W to interrupt your ultimate.
Hello, im an old NA player, now playing on LAS, in which i have reached Diamond tier only maining Katarina. I have mastered her, its been 4 years now, i saw victories, and also defeats, but i can tell you, this champion is by far the one that with some skilled gamer can lead easily the team to a win.
Katarina is not an AP MID which can do all by herself, she needs a team that supports her playstyle. With that said, ill try to explain all i know so far.
Pros / Cons
Pros / Cons
Pros:
+ High burst AoE damage
+ Fast mobility
+ Easy mechanics
+ Pasive skills that grants cd reset after kill or assist(the source of katarina teamfight damage)
+ No mana (hell yeah, mana potions? not today!)
+ Ability to shunpo into a lot of stuff.(wards, shrooms, creeps, neutral creeps, champions)
+ As an assasin, can easily jump in to finish off any enemy with low hp, and chainhit any other champion as soon as the first dies.
Cons:
- Low hp
- Weak against any kind of cc
- Hard to comprehend when to dive.(needs to know the abilities and mechanics of all the champions)
- If teammates arent confident of initiating a teamfight or pushing, katarina will face defeat.
