Pros and Cons (Overall)

KATARINA

Pros:
*Katarina could reset her skills by 15 seconds!
*Her ultimate is AoE and does a lot of damage!
*Shunpo is great for escaping or chasing!
*She could harass easily using Bouncing blades!
*She's hard to kill!
Cons:
*Katarina is hard to master for beginners.
*People could easily escape her ultimate if her ultimate doesn't do a lot of damage.
*Many people could counter katarina's ultimate. (Stun/Knockup/Headbutt/Dazed/Silenced)

Pros and Cons (Runes)

Pros:
AP - With AP Runes your able to do more damage.
HP at 18 - These Health runes should help you be a little less squishy.
Magic Penetration - Boost of damage on champions. (Great for ultimate and skills)
Cons:
You wont have much attack damage at lv 1-5
Last hitting minions could be a problem without much physical damage.
..Auto attack isn't very strong until late game.

Pros and Cons (Skills)

Pros:
Bouncing blades is very useful for harassing and last hitting minions.
Sinister steel is good for escaping because if you hit a minion with it or a champion your speed is increased for less than a second.
Shunpo is probably one of my favorite skills because you could initiate with it or escape with it :] with a good amount of CD (Cooldown)
last but not least katarina ultimate is just too deadly :[.
*Her resets are so op :o
Cons:
If you get stunned you could possibly die.
Shunpo could be dangerous when using incorrectly.
Opponents could easily escape Katarina's ultimate with a flash.

Counter Jungle (Very helpful tip for first blood!)

Going mid you have a great advantage to counter their jungler if they have 1*. Start off with Boots (325) 2 Health Potions (70) and 1 regular ward (75). If their jungler uses mana, ward their red, if their jungler doesn't use mana, ward their blue. When they go to red/blue normally they should have low health. If so quickly/sneak to them and E to assassinate them and Q,W etc. If their health is a bit too high just back off because your also wasting exp.

In Mid

No matter who's in mid these are your choices...
A:Harass them using Q (Bouncing Blades) either to the minions -> opponent or to opponent.
^Fact:Q bounces off minions if close to each other. (3-4 Hits)
B:Farm up well getting last hits and if possible freeze lane or push it and help other lanes.
^Tip:Use your Q (Bouncing Blades) and your W (Sinister Steel) and escape with E (Shunpo)
C:Hug turret <3
^Tip:Run out of there if they are harassing you like crazy.
D:Have a jungler gank for you or have someone gank for you and then farm.
^Tip:Do not wait too long, and try not to waste time.
