I honestly feel like karthus is high skill/low reward sort of champion.

I'm not saying hes bad by any means necessary, In fact I love the champ and play him quite frequently. But his Q is a skill shot that is super hard to hit and offers low reward for doing so. you get a nice 500 damage burst or what not (usually less) for hitting the Q on an isolated target. Yes the Q is quite spammable but honestly I find it the most difficult skillshot in the game to hit. It requires a lot of practice to even get close to good at karthus and I feel like even when you are good with him there are just easier champions with easier skills to hit that will do so much more than you.

Imaqtpie sums it up nicely. https://youtu.be/6LxRXgDfHdc?t=3m25s

So what should we do for karthus?

yes unfortunately anyone with boots can dodge his 1 second delay q, the only way to really get some q's in is to use your 100 fucking mana cost slow unfortunately through all of that you used most of ur mana and the enemy got away

You don't really even stand a chance of hitting your Qs in lane until you have rylais atleast. and like you could just build 1 mr item, like abysal or maw and just stand among your minions and tank his Qs. They will do like 25 damage to you. I feel like if you looked at 99% of kills karthus' get in while they are in lane is just them hitting R and killing the poor low bot laners.
