trick to initiate for katarina players

LeMemeBoy·Nov 21, 2016·3 votes·848 views

if you don't know this, katarina's shunpo gets 80% cdr when you pick up a dagger.

hit w on your approach, q enemy laner, e to dagger/nearby minion/laner and then e back to your first dagger.

people just dont even know how to react anymore when you pull 2 sick dashes in a row.

instead of just being reliant on her ult, now she can also adopt a really smooth and fluid hit and run tactic. people havent realized that this is what she has been changed to instead of a straight up nuke machine.

its all about the jukes now for katarina. very sleek. one of the simplest and best reworks ive played.

Its quite basic to be honest. If I were you I would throw the dagger > jump to it > jump to you enemy > drop the dagger on top or your opponent > pick it up for more damage > and jump back to you minions. If they are low enough so that you can kill them, do the same thing except instead of jumping back to your minions you just hit R and keep your jump if they are low as an execute or to gap close after they run away. This way if you really dont do enough damage you can still jump back to your minions and escape.

I feel like this is how kat should be played even though I have not played as Kat yet. Its only knowledge from playing vs her for last 50 games or so (exaggerated) due to how often she is played

they got rid of damage reduction because "you dont need it with ur e resets"

True and i didnt notice since she takes no damage in the first place and kills her enemies in a flash with her kit and thunderlords decree

Its BLINKS not dashes people think the daggers have to be on the floor but you can e to the enemy champion when the dagger has just finished hitting the second target and pick up the dagger as as it lands and be back to your w dagger within the second. e to the champion gives more damage than e to the dagger which most people do you get damage resist in the mean time and your really get a combo that the only counter to it is to be so oppressive that they cant q in the first place or point INSTANT and click hard cc ww ult malzahar ult and nothing else really
