"kat and vlad has a weak early"

Vlad has a weak early, but he can outsustain people who cannot all-in him early on and scales harder than most other champions.

I don't care what you try to tell me, has a shit early (further amplified by the recent nerfs to her max HP and HP regen AKA "The Riven Treatment"), zero sustain, and has literally only one poke ability, which doesn't even do much damage. She has high scalings and low bases along with no CC, so unlike many other midlaners she doesn't hit any noticeable powerspikes just by sitting in lane and leveling up, she needs to buy ridiculously expensive items to get rolling. She cannot win lane against 90% of the roster, so she makes a quick roam to botlane and scavenges a double kill from weakened enemies, which is why it's dubbed "The Katarina Technique".

If you're really getting poked out by vlad you probably have double his CS as he misses shittons of minions for constantly spamming his Q on you and not using it on minions. And why are you in position to take his Q every single time? Most vlads use it off cooldown. Kat's... not really that weak early, tbh, but not a complete lane bully like some other champs.

There is only one champion I know who loses to kat consistantly. And this champion pretty much loses lane to everything.

. Name one matchup he actually can dominate early game.

Katarina doesn't even need that much farm, I'm not sure she has a 'weak early game' when all she has to do is soak EXP lol

Transfusion RANGE: 600 COOLDOWN: 10 / 8.5 / 7 / 5.5 / 4 Transfusion

ACTIVE: Vladimir drains the lifeforce of his target, dealing magic damage and healing himself. 「 MAGIC DAMAGE: 90 / 125 / 160 / 195 / 230 (+ 60% AP) 」 HEALTH REGAINED: 15 / 25 / 35 / 45 / 55 (+ 25% AP)

Least kat doesn't sustain like vlad. Bouncin blades doh.

At least Vlad's spells cost something even if he gets health back and becomes a sustain monster late-game...

Kat, I got nothing. Buy a and you're good.

Who are you playing that doesn't outpoke Kat?
