I finally got the hang of Katarina

And it's awesome. I feel like a Yas main jumping all over the place, and my gosh the daggers. The daggers hit like a truck and then some. Especially if you QEW and hit your enemy with both twirls, it's so satisfying watching their health bars get chunked in sweet sweet bursts. Pre level 3 is the same old passive farm for all my abilities to combo but slightly worse in my opinion though. That's okay though, because once you hit 3, the plays can start being made.

Also god bless you Riot allowing me to go rush again. I missed using this item and now she makes amazing use of it to cover any gaps in her burst, that way the damage just keeps on coming.

After the 100 negative threads someone who played against enemies who are too lazy to right click, praises the horrible kit! Well, at least someone is happy... RIp the actual mains who got to struggle with the slow kit... which isn't skill based, just dull speed based...

I've mained this champion throughout my 4 years of playing this game on and off, it wasn't until last year July that I really stuck to her. "actual main" I'm pretty sure I qualify as this.

One of my friends "actually mains" katarina and has fun with the new katarina as well as winning at the same time. I think her kit actually has just become a lot more skill and reaction based, it'll just take some practicing and getting used to

The old kit was reaction based simply because you had to be fast. Your friend is actually lucky if he's winning all that much. This clunky thing has no reaction bases xD just waiting

It makes katerina fun to play, I don't even care if she's weak or whatever, the changes they did to her kit were both intuitive and are really really cool additions to her lackluster QEW gameplay style. The rework makes you think about how you're going to utilise your daggers and of course the skill floor for Katerina is much higher now because her gameplay is now more reactive like Yasuo's. I absolutely do not recommend first timing her in actual game because you should take the time practice her kit first and learn some of the combos that you can use.

Its Katarina... And I'm sure its fun for the first week... Just because its new... Then you'll want to win, but you will realize how horrible the kit is for that...
