You know what counters Kat harder than CC?

Map awareness. Sadly bot lane (especially ADC) usually have 0 idea what the fuck this is.

The worst part is when Kat is 5/0, you're 0/0, and your bot lane is 0/3 and 0/2.

I'd argue it's even worse when you spam MIA and they still don't get it.

KaisadiIIa2 votes

Or when they tell you it's your fault because you spammed it 20 secs ago and should have pinged it again (had happened to me more than humanity is willing to admit).

If they are gone more than 5 seconds i like to ping mia. If they are gone another 10 ish, i ping another mia. I continue to do so till they show up. If i saw them actively leave lane and im either close enough to win a fight against them with help, or can take them entirely on my own, i follow. I wish others would do the same, because calling mia once 1 minute ago isnt a huge help. Doesnt matter if you dont see them again, at that point if they get a kill its on you. At least thats my opinion on the matter anyways.

This is what I do too. Ping every once in awhile when they're out of lane so bot can't bitch at me and claim I didn't ping, when the chatbox has like 10 MIAs in it

Thats understandable, the problem is when you put the warning ping in their lane, in front of them and they still don't understand

-Pings miss -Kat seen on map heading bot while passing near river bush ward -Frantically pings for retreat -My botlane still under their tower -"Enemy double kill" -"Wtf noob mid why didn't you follow her"

Nature Druid1 votes

ikr its so fucking annoying. What i hate the most is when i ping mia then a warning ping bot. The support backs up and the adc is farm yelling," STOP PINGING OM NOT A FUKING RETARD, IM DIAMOND SMURF I CAN FUCK HER UP". Kat shows up, shes gone adc says," wow rito were the balance. then theres me*[zombie-brand-clap]* [zombie-brand-facepalm]

Nasus actually can't do much against a fed Kat. He can't interrupt her channel and wither doesn't do much against her either

He also usually rushes Armor before MR

Lithium Rosa2 votes

I specially pointed Kat out because she has a weak laning phase. While other mids are able to snowball through laning, Kat pretty much can only depend on roaming, and that is why map awareness is more efficient against her.

Steel Blossom1 votes

I wouldn't say a weak laning phase. She's def not even close to Annie or LB, but her manaless poke is kind of cancer in this world without crystalline flask....

as a mid lane main. it's not just Kat. its literally any mid. you can roam as any mid in low elo and if I catch it even 5 seconds too late it doesnt matter if I "follow" my laner.

the amount of times I've been farming and pressuring and they simply back off for a second and I ping missing. wait a few seconds. realize they are roaming, then start to follow. generally speaking I'm pretty damn close, if bot can just not die instantly I can help and turn the fight.

ENEMY DOUBLE KILL

well at least the enemy mid is low hea-----oh she's full health. they didn't bother to even try to fight back before dying.

ok.

welp back to mid against a lane I am now losing drastically.

Mid is hard man. my advice is to be the initiator of roaming. especially against a passive lane. katarina is actually someone you can roam on cuz she won't push very hard or fast. and if she pushes to tower and tries to deal damage your jungler can just butt fuck her.

Blitzedlegend2 votes

Oh, i thought it was death

The Soulforged2 votes

Sad thing is, usually the mid laner pings bot lane back and she still gets the double.

You know what counters kat more than map awareness? Gragas

KaylaDaBamf2 votes

True, but it's also team's job to ping. I mean when I ping MIA I ping it like.. 3 times. 6 times if it's a Zed/Kat/Anivia/Brand etc. Ping mia, ping danger where you think he's headed, and even type "kat mia" or "kat heading bot" and use fallback pings on whichever lane. Sometimes, especially bot lane, people just get really bad tunnel vision when they're farming or have HP advantage over both enemies and a double seems kinda juicy. I know I get tunnel vision when I'm farming for sure; but that could just be cos I'm a baddie :^)

Remember when Yi was nerfed because he had the potential at low level ELOs to wipe a team. Everyone said just stun him then too.

Well this is the same stupid thing. Only with Riot's poster 'sexy' champion.

Since se-x sells the champ doesn't get nerfed.

It is pretty stupid to have a refreshing ult that AoEs for terrific ratios.

But we all know how horrible Riot's balancing team is. (I mean she was the number one ban in snowdown.
You would think in close quarters with 5 champs one might have a CC up to stop her. But know it was disgusting how well the champ did. Kinda raises some red flags)

Red flags Kat players try to hide and cry fowl about.

Only Play Darius3 votes

Kat was nerfed multiple times, no idea what you are talking about

Psi212 votes

Really!?!? Because the last time she was nerfed was way back in patch 5.11 on 6/16/2015 More than Half Year ago.... Seriously

Please don't protect a champ that has the same stupid broken effect that got Yi Nerfed.

As a Kat player I don't lose against any other champion.

Other than Diana.

Cause for some reason she gets dealt no damage by any of Kat's attacks. Hoping Riot could take a look at that and figure out just what the hell makes that happen.

Oddly enough it disappears once I finish Abyssal and Deathcap.

Ehh, haven't played ranked in forever since she's basically perms ban at the silver gold area. And the diamond+ twats don't know how to counter her.
