Even in blind pick, someone in the team should pick someone with hard CC.

someone has to hit her with even the slightest bit of hard cc to stop her then once you have it. :P

If we follow this logic - any adc easy to kill - just cc him and finish...

The difference being, Katarina needs to go into the middle of your team to use her ult.

The best way to counter any assassin is to save one (preferably targeted) CC spell specifically for them. When they jump in, nail them with it and watch them immediately blow up.

I played ,and am playing, Katarina . Any CC that can move us a fraction of an inch on the screen will take our ult down. All of our skills going in sync will do almost ult damage, and the ult does all our combined skills damage. This means, CC us once and we die. Let us get a single kill in a teamfight and we will be sweeping people because of resets. Assuming the said Katarina knows what they are doing. Also, Jamini is right- our ult requires us to be in the middle of a team because it hits 3 targets at once at a very short range (think Annie's Q, then make the ring a bit smaller). Most new champions have gotten a form of hard CC in their Kits recently- Yasuo has his Q, Gnar has his Q and R, Azir has W and R...etc...

Azir will be oneshotted with Kata. My D1 brother played Azir vs Silver or Gold Kata - Kata won. Kata's animation much faster than Azir's what means Azir sucks vs Kata. And her burst is faster either. If compare to any other assassin - Kata is most easy now to play.

Mate look Worlds - to save adc from assassins they pick Ori, Zilean and Lulu. And they using everything on their adc. Now tell me if only one cc could be enough then why they picking so many supporting champions?

Because Kat is such a contested and dangerous pick at Worlds?

She was picked once (by SSW btw and vs Twisted Fate) and had score 12-2. Nuff said. She has no decent wave clear abilities and vulnerable to Jayce-poke-meta, because of that she wasn't popular on Worlds. But koreans showed that she can stomp your teams with cc.

The vast majority of an ADC's damage is reliant on a channeled ability.

Sustained damage can be compared to channeled ability, btw.

You're autoattacks don't go on cooldown.

Why nerf what isn't overpowered?

Her ult has the bulk of her damage in it. CC her when she uses it and voila, she is useless.

and then you run into one of her many counters since you picked a melee mid without knowing who the enemy will be.

If she can't kill her enemy on mid she'll roam and kill rest of team.

she has a weak lane phase. harass her low, freeze lane, and ward the river for your bot lane and she'll be really weak in the midgame.

undEAdbUs2 votes

Most assassins weak on laning phase, and?
