Katarina is all about one thing, DAMAGE. The combinations you are about to see are very easy to execute and learn and pack some serious damage.
Trading in lane
-E(shunpo), W(dagger toss), AA(auto attack), E(back to target range minion), Q(Bouncing Blades)
Going in for the kill
-E,W,R,(if still not dead Q and E to that dagger)
Wall Jumping with W
-Its all about placement with this and take practice. Walk to the wall and when you can no longer get closer hit W, Wait for dagger to place on ground and hover you're mouse over the edge towards the direction you want to go and E to it. Thickness of the wall comes into play same as flash.
Waiting in bush for someone to face-check
-Soon as you see someone coming to check or go through the brush time this right.
-W,E,R,E

Katarina is suppose to dive and just wipe out the enemy team. Meaning you want to look for enemy flanks that are not warded to circle around and get them from behind. Picking off carries is cake for her. She does VERY WELL when a team doesn't have any tanks or engage so you can go around or wait for the right bouncing dagger and then just wreck house.
Overall, Katarina is mighty fine *****. And a mighty fine champion to play. If you are looking for a champion that can carry you to high elo this is a great place to start. Please feel free to message me for any questions and leave a like it helps out greatly. Let me know if there is another champion you want me to make a guide for!
