Stuns, interrupts and silences break her ulti. That usually is enough to make her harmless

[Sirian]

How do you counter Katarina? I want to know how to overcome every obstacle with her.

I stay out of her shunpo/dagger range and i don't stand too close to my minions to avoid bouncing daggers. I attack her when she doesnt have a minion to jump to behind her. Sometimes i manage to out-harass her. In teamfights, if i can't interrupt her ult, i try to escape it's range. Magic resist often helps.

I need to try an EU account, I suspect it's closer then the NA one. Even though i live in NA, east coast.

It isn't. The Atlantic Ocean is a lot wider than the United States.

"The distance between Los Angeles and New York City is 2462 miles."
"From New York to London it is about: approx. 3460 Miles."

You will see the ping difference. NA will be 60-80 on the East Coast. EUW will be between 110-130. Not too bad, and you can get used to the lag after a bit.

Really, it comes down to where your friends are.

Woo, Anivia and Ezreal are free. Also Ryze and Sivir for some reason.

Guys, guys, I have made up some masterplans for some champs, hear 'em out.

For Olaf, start jungling with vamp scepter. Then go to CDR boots, wriggle, and then to gunblade. Then lichbane, another gunblade, then something else.

For Morde & Kog I made some boring, normal-ish builds, but this Twitch build sure makes you twitch around, it is so good. Okay, so, you start with doran's ring, go to CDR boots, then sheen, rylai, lichbane, chainmail + negatron cloak --> abyssal scepter + zhonya's, and lastly Rabadon's cap. Sound good, eh?



Also, when Olaf has 40% spellvamp, E refills all hp it cost to use it.

How do you counter Katarina? I want to know how to overcome every obstacle with her.

Katarina's laning is really crappy from levels 1-5 and really strong past that point. If you're fighting her 1 on 1 in mid or something, you ideally want to crush her between that timeframe.

You don't necessarily have to kill her, since it's pretty hard to do such a thing to someone who can blink away effortlessly but you can chase her out of the lane and deny her farm, making her really crappy.

Furthermore, Katarina is incapable of dealing sustained damage. What this means is that she can hit you for damage, and then she's absolutely useless until all her stuff comes off cooldown. In lane, this translates to whacking her in the face as often as possible because it's impossible for her to deal the same amount of damage back to you. If you stick on her, she has to run away, so it's free damage.

And yeah, like Sirian said, grab some form of stun or silence or break out the exhaust. If you stop her ultimate, she can't kill you ever. It's like 70% of her damage.

Lastly, never underestimate a Katarina with a Mejai. She's one of the easiest champions to get stacks on and one of those champs you really don't want to see with stacks. Even if she's feeding 0 15 0, never be careless enough to allow a Katarina with Mejai to get stacks. You will regret it.

It should be noted that kills/assists are cdr for Kat.
all her base skills recharge with no %cdr at 18

her ult has a low cd.

like zil, cdr from items stacks exponentially with it,

with 40%, two kills (instantly!)recharges death lotus.
otherwise three will recharge it.

It can be literally impossible to run from katarina.

The ratio of death lotus is .25 ability power .5 bonus attack damage
per 10 daggers per 3 people.
2.5 ability power and 5 bonus attack damage per person, max.

bouncing blade is .35 per ability power, .8 per bonus attack damage.

shunpo is .75 ability power.

.35% damage reduction from killer-instincts-shunpo is alot.

Her escape ability is shunpo, which works on any creature in range.

Her ultimate gives 40% slow from rylais.

[Micro102]

Now I want a penta kill with repeated shunpos.

[webadict]

Now I want a penta kill with repeated shunpos.

Been done. See #1 play.

[Yodamaster]

Now I want a penta kill with repeated shunpos.

The reason I actually first bought Akali is because I saw someone score a Penta in the jungle using her renewable R stacks after every kill. That guy was damn good.

[Dakk]

Katarina is a decent champion, only reason people don't pick her is because things like akali exist. Akali is basicaly katarina but much harder to counter and better at taking single targets down, not to mention the fact her early game is much stronger and that she scales just as well into the late game.

[eerr]

Akali is a whole lot less brutal if you buy armour.

She becomes useless at close range after her burst, like katarina.

Then I kill her.


Also mr runes.


lichbane,sheen, and gunblade scalings all get hurt. Those are really what allows her to snowball.

Twin disciplines.

Yeah her burst still REALLY hurts though so don't get lazy.

It might also help if people bought Oracle's.

As an addendum, even if the other team were Eve, Twitch, Akali, Shaco, and Teemo, your team will never buy Oracle's without being prodded.

Garen with 86 AD + Sona lane.

I'm sorry squishy, my Q takes off 1/3 of your health? And I brought Exhaust? Ahahahahaa.

If I was being more stupid, I could have got it to 104, but I like my MoveQuints too much, and don't start with a Dorans because I'm not stupid.
