Extreme Threats

Diana
Don't run away from her Q, dodge to the side opposite of where it arcs. Diana hard wins this matchup at all stages of the game so be wary and only fight her if she wastes her shield or Q on the wave.

Amumu
Huge AOE root, if your team has a half decent wombo then you're looking at a penta.

Champion Build Guide
I climbed from Bronze to Gold with Katarina, and stopped playing ranked because of a lack of motivation, but held a 60% winrate with Katarina.
I currently plan to gain more mastery with Katarina and better macro in the preseason, and will continue to climb thereafter.

Katarina's job as an assassin is unique to her, cleaning up teamfights and skirmishes with her huge AOE damage and resets, compared to other assassins whose primary job is target one enemy before putting any leftover power into damaging their other enemies.

Due to the nature of Katarina's kit, I will discuss her abilities before her passive, as it's important you know how her basic abilities work before her passive.

The Dagger always lands on the ground 350 units opposite from where it struck the first target, getting there in the same amount of time regardless of how many times it bounces. |

We take this at 3 usually, as Shunpo is invaluable for early trades at level 2. |

|
Picking up a Dagger will reduce Shunpo's cooldown by 78/84/90/96% (based on level.) Katarina can blink to any location near the target. |

|
Applies Grievous Wounds to all enemies struck, reducing their healing and regeneration by 60% for 3 seconds. |

|
Katarina's passive makes her one of the most deadly champions when ahead. It completely resets her basic abilities as well as drastically reducing her Ult's cooldown. |

Katarina uses Sinister Steel the moment she touches the area marked by a dagger, therefore the area of your damage is larger than it appears since Katarina can pick up the dagger at the very edge of it.
