"haha get rekt noobs, gg easy" -katarina

Mechanically simple champs need you to be good at the actual game to succeed, or have enough luck to run into players who don't know any better.

Mechanically complex champs only needs you to be able to press your buttons in the correct order at the correct times.

Whatever the case, saying "gg ez" is always a dick move.

The problem with katarina is that, no matter how much you shut her down in lane, she will eventually get fed due to assists giving resets and resets eventually leading to kills...

sigh katarina is a hard champ i outplayed you all

People inflate her skill ceiling to be brutally honest. I have no dog in this race, because I never mid lane and frankly I don't share the hatred for Katarina that others have, but she really isn't that difficult. Her skill floor is also fairly low, making her easy to pick up and play.

No, she's not outright easy to master, but when I see "Oh you have to wait until CC is blown," I just shake my head. Every squishy in the game has to worry about CC because they ca be killed before it wears off, and Katarina at least has mobility to alleviate the vulnerability to CC. Champions like Zed and LB are much less vulnerable given their safety via mobility, and in that right, Katarina does have somewhat higher weakness to it. That being said, the same is true for most assassins who lack advanced safety mechanics.

It gets brought up a lot regarding Katarina because of her channel, and I understand that. However, given the fact that she can drop an entire combo including ultimate so rapidly and from a reasonably long distance away, it really reduces that risk. Nunu and Galio both have a similar trouble involving CC, and they have no mobility to be spoken for. In addition, most assassins don't have a resetting leap, and are limited to a single target. Katarina is not, and even without her ultimate, her damage values are still moderately high.

No, Katarina's not difficult mechanically. But, if you don't want to be one of those terrible Kats who "carries" with 18/25 and has no idea what an objective is, she does take some timing and self-restraint.

Or you could play against all the people who try to take her on at low health, can't predict what she'll do even though her options are usually very limited, just stand in her ult even though all they have to do is move, etc. But I like to think when game MMR gets up above 1000 this isn't usually the case.

shes not that hard to play...

that aside i just hate people that say shit like that.

thx +1

sigh this had +8, the haters are real

Katarina isn't that mechanically intense, but she does need a lot of game knowledge to play.

shes a walking Pentakill, even riot recognizes that. She is one of the most mechanically simplistic, if not the most in league.

how to go 30-1-14 as kata in 30 minutes: remember that shunpo also gets reset when your ult does.
