Katarina is a support

ectb··1 votes·800 views

Katarina has no mana issues and low cooldowns, which means she can poke continuously with daggers from safety. She also gets her ability cooldown reset after a kill or assist, which is kind of useless passive in a solo lane, but much more meaningful in a duo lane. Since she doesn't need mana regeneration and cooldown reduction, she can spare money to buy aura/survivability/damage instead.

What do you say?

Lack of Crowd Control. She can do nothing for her adc if they ever get ganked. Enemy supports usually have crowd control and can easily stop her ultimate She's Melee and will open for easy harass from a duo ranged bot lane.

Katarina is probably the least viable champion to play as a support. Doing so would be like using a sports car to tow a boat to the lake. She has no CC, brings no utility, can't help sustain a teammate, or herself.

She is designed for a single purpose; to clean up in team fights. That's why she has the resetting passive you claim is useless. Katarina does damage, she makes the other team see black and white screens, she makes the other team rage about how faceroll she is, she makes your team rage about just staying on the edges of a fight and then only jumping in at the end (if they are among the uneducated who don't understand the assassin/clean up role) she is the very definition of an opportune predator.

Pros of Katarina support:

  • Costless Pokes
  • .....yea that's it

Cons of Katarina support:

  • A place for butthurt mid-reject Katarinas
  • Highly doubt they are here to actually "support"
  • 30% chance they would build sightstone or wards.
  • Typically a useless lil shiet when they get ganked or if ADC is in trouble.
  • No crowd-control. Even Nidalee is useless in support laning even with Q & that minimal E heals.
  • ADC: "Oh look, that Nami be like healing her ADC for 24/7, and that Janna can shield you while giving bonus damage. Plus, she can tornado off the whole enemy team for disengaging. What the hell can YOU do Kat? Throw Qs and then ks every kills which was suppose to be granted for me?"
