Why do people think Katarina counters Vel'koz?

All you do is give her respect in lane. Wave clear with your W and stay out of her range. If she wastes Shunpo you have a free 100-0 opportunity. Vel'koz and his range greatly outclass her.

Yer they don't realise that women can never win against the likes of Vel'koz.

Now before you count me among the sexists, I learn this from The Videos and The Books!!

People say some weird stuff in terms of counters, I've heard people recommend Sona mid vs both Katerina and Zed, both are terrible ideas.

Katarina has very few champions that she actually beats in lane. can beat a Velkoz that wastes his knock up and generally speaking his harass is easy to avoid with shun po. This match up is not that bad for Kat, she can farm fairly well and even get a kill if velkoz is to aggressive or shoves lane to often. I will take this mid lane match up any day of the week compared to many of the other evils that lurk in the mid lane.

You don't pick Katarina to win lane, you pick her to win game.

I guess at the end of the day it's whoever blows E first. Vel'koz is really good at counter ganking her though. Really both of them are extremely strong champions. One is just meant for sieging while the other is meant for burst.
