Fiddlesticks + Katarina: Weird interaction?

Barkley··1 votes·355 views

So whenever kat shunpos to attack me, and I fear her as she lands as fiddlesticks, she goes running away from me at 100 miles an hour. Tried it multiple times, seems to be consistent. Breaks the drain chain in a second or so. Makes it very hard to get any damage onto her.

Why does this happen?

When most Kata's shunpo onto you, they use W as well. Her W gives her MS and drops a dagger at her feet. The chances are they use W and you fear them while they have the increased movement speed.

Fear / flee

A unit that is fleeing will move directly away from the source with 33% Slow icon reduced movement speed for the duration, during which time they cannot control their own movement or attacks, and cannot cast abilities, activate items or use the summoner spells Flash Flash and Teleport Teleport. Versus non-champions, flee instead causes the target to move around aimlessly.

Ok, I never actually feel the strength of that slow... With 75% move speed bonus on Kat's W I'm sure it will cover the 33% slow and still speed her up decently.

Same interaction with a Master Yi ulting and then being feared; He runs away super fast its hilarious

yeah but yi cannot be slowed, so it makes sense.

katarina can.

I don't think the 33% slow makes much of a difference on her increased MS. She's still able to run away from you faster than her normal MS because of her W
