people sure like to cry about katarina

but sure don't like to figure out how to beat her.

no. the way to beat an assassin 100% of the time is NOT to pick another assassin that supposedly "counters" them.

people laugh at me when i say darius beats kat. but he does. hard. at level 1, one max range q takes out 1/3 of her hp. at level 3 the second she shunpo's you can grab her, aa,w,q, ignite her for first blood. at level 6 you save your e for when she ults, pull her, interrupt her ult, then aa w q aa r and she's dead again.

when will people learn that almost any champion can go anywhere depending on the matchup?

hell, i've taken darius mid for every melee assassin i've seen, and it always ends with me being extremely fed and farmed.

also, just because LolCounter doesn't list someone as a counter to another champion doesn't mean they're not.

just read people's abilities, and figure out what their strengths are for your own. because last i check lolcounter says nothing about darius vs kat. but i know for a fact that every time i play against a kat, now matter how good she is, or how fed she gets, i can and will shut her down because my kit counters hers.

First off. No Kat would QEW you at full health. You'll die if that combo starts.

Second, if a Kat DOES combo you, it means your ass is about to get ganked. RUN.

Thrid, your grab is your only form of stopping her ult. Meaning you're dead if you fall below half health.

Im gonna assume these are the garbage Kats that dive in a full health tank and than wonder why they have half their health left.

ok. well good talking to you. glad you could be mature.

have fun living in your tiny little enclosed box where you can't possibly accept that kat has counters outside of zed or leblanc.

No for real though, she should be able to farm with q for last hits and w for pushing the wave so it doesn't hit her tower, and just shunpo away if you ever pull her. There's no reason for her to ever try to fight you 1v1 just because she's in your lane, she's better made to roam bot anyway and lets be real darius is just not gonna get there in time if katarina gets 1-2 ward hops off on the way down then hops onto botlane, even if you followed her instantly a darius would just take so long to get down there that it would be pointless.

a free farmed darius is incredibly scary. and it doesn't matter how many kills kat gets, because as long as i have 2 items, i can and will kill her.

If the match-up is not going well, a good Kat will just roam for kill(s).

I usually take Fiddle against the likes of Kat, Zed, and LeBlanc. Through laning phase, they're not strong enough to burst through Drain and often die trying. The good ones know this and roam bot or top instead.

So what is stopping Kat from maxing Q and poking you down until you need to back then roaming top/bot to snowball? I main Kat as well and although I do not like all the negative attention towards her, I know that with one good roam, she can carry the game with not much opposition unless they are a heavy CC team.

Also, if this matchup was as hard for kat as you say and I were playing her I would just farm with Q and take CS when I could and wait till teamfights/late game where darius is useless.

lifesteal. kat's q cooldown is long enough for me to lifesteal all of the damage she does back to me.

you won't be able to get every single minion, and ill just start freezing lane until you decide to get close.

i have denied a lot of katarinas farm this way.

Darius does well against everybody unless the enemy has a jungler with half a brain and jumps in for easy ganks

wards are op.

Kata still has a easy time farming, she doesn't rely on killing her lane opponent. After 6, she can just roam and grab kills left and right.
