Karasmai says “Only reason he falls under Hard is because he can powerfarm and get free kills just from using R so its impossible for any jgler to punish especially since his lvl 1 is a lot more powerful than ppl think so its hard to invade and punish especially as a Kayn, I typically like to try to teamfight if i go rhaast and kill him early and you may use Ulti to dodge his ulti which can negate a lot of his dmg, If you go Blue you need to snowball before he gets zhonyas and invade him a lot and take his camps so he will not powerfarm.”

Karasmai's Season 11 Challenger Kayn Guide by Karasmai | Kayn Player

Polarshift says “Outscales you, outdamages you and clears even faster than you. Not a counter by definition, but still insanely strong and most of all AP. You can try to invade his frog at level 2 if he starts blue buff on red side. Setting him behind by invading is quite important. I recommend going Phase Rush. Getting Galeforce makes it really hard for him to win against you.”

SnowballBarrage says “Personally I rank Karthus at Extreme Threat because I find him very annoying. He full clears on repeat while pressing R for Kills and Assists. He also scales very well. ”

Arfreezy says “Similar to Ekko and Evelynn matchups. Take an agressive setup like Ignite+Fleet+Lethality to snowball games before you get outscaled. Remember that healing runes such as Fleet and Ravenous can be very useful here to heal you out of Karthus Ultimate range after you kill him. Hex is a great option if there are other ap threats on the enemy team.”

Doubtfull says “Karthus is another champion who is only really a problem at the top of the ladder. He generally power farms a lot, so it shouldn't be too hard to find him in his jungle and 100-0, especially post 6. ”

Asternova says “RUNES: Dark Harvest. ITEMS: Zhonya's if his team has a lot of AD. Banshee's Veil if his team has a lot of AP. Mercury's Treads if his team is full of CC. GAMEPLAY SUMMARY: Karthus scales extremely well and it's generally not a fun experience to go against if the game goes on for long and he gets a lead, so you must capitalize on his weaknesses. Know that he can't actually gank at all unless his target is extremely mispositioned, and if he tries while you're nearby, go for a countergank to punish him. Sometimes when you have a reasonable amount of AP, boots, etc.. you can ward his jungle to invade and potentially kill him if you see that his nearby laners won't be able to follow up in time. Use your movement speed to dodge and bait his Qs, get a Banshee's Veil if his team has a lot of magic damage, if not, go for Zhonya's to avoid his ult damage with this item's active effect.”

[11.19] "Your soul is blooming!" A Lillia Guide⭐ by Asternova | Diamond Lillia Player

FREAKSTAR says “He scales harder than you, and it can be tough for you to run him down and kill him since you are slow. The other issue is that in a team fight killing him doesn't take away his damage, he can still hit Q's and then ULT to help his team. Not easy to shut down.”

LordGrox says “Attempt to deny his ganks and plays by abusing his lack of movement skills. Aside from that highly dangerous due to insane damage. Consider Mercs if the enemy team has enough AP. Invading him on his first clear at Krugs is usually a decent idea.”

[S11] LordGrox High Elo Rek'sai Guide by LordGrox | Diamond Rek'Sai Player

Citric says “Karthus clears faster than Shyvana and can gank with one press of the R button. You need to be actively trying to do more by securing objectives and perhaps counter jungling to break his jungle tempo. Save your W or R for when he dies so you can get out of his passive.”

ak521 says “A skill matchup. If the karthus is good, it may be game for you. Very hard to engage on due to his large AOE damage and Amumu isn't particularly strong against AP champions. Furthermore, even if you do happen to kill him, he'll probably be able to kill you as well in his death animation.”

RedNBlue says “Karthus can outrange you but he's just too squishy. He can do damage but just way too late in the game. You can easily get some 5-10 kills off of this guy early. Of course at the cost of cs and objectives. But really, this guy might as well be an OBJ to Trundle.”

Sammystinky says “You can't invade him and by the time you get level 3 he is level 4. The entire game you are playing behind a beast of a late game champ. You can E in and burst him if he lacks flash and hourglass, but the passive will nearly kill you for it unless he is behind. ”

Pusi Puu says “Annoying jungler in generell. You have to make sure to invade him early and push him out of his own jungle, otherwise he doubles your cs with the blink of an eye.

Veralion says “Nonthreatening. Karthus will probably stay in his own jungle playing farm simulator. You're fast enough to easily avoid his skittles. He can force your flash if he catches you in his W while yours is down, however, so respect him until it's available if you run into eachother in the early game. Post 6 he is easily gobbled up if you ever find him. If lane priority is favorable, feel free to go hunting. And make sure never to try to kill that one last camp if you're below 200 health. You never know when he may randomly ult. ”

Very Rxre says “Not many good Karthus players until like diamond+, His advantages are that he farms faster than u, runs exhaust to deal with invades, and is tough to deal with in teamfights. But he can’t gank lanes and influence them as well as you before 6. Against Karthus you want to be around the map as much as possible to get most of your lanes winning. It is worth putting yourself behind to get your team to win since Karthus is worthless with 3 losing lanes. ”

RichMrFork says “Incredibly hard for Karthus to kill you. Your passive movement speed and E should allow you to dodge the majority of Karthus Q's. He is also extremely immobile so hitting your W isn't too hard. Once you hit your items he can be one-shot consistently as he lacks peel for himself.”

Kayn Mains says “Karthus will almost always go for a full clear that ends at a scuttle crab. Do the same, but do not fight him. Instead, try pinging your team to get them to collapse on him. Karthus is basically a ranged Kha’Zix - if he hits Q and you are alone you cannot beat him. During mid game you can try to fight him if you already have your core items. However, unless you have flash, it will almost always be a 1 for 1 killl unless you catch him on very low HP due to his passive. Once you hit late game you will be able to destroy this champ since he has no mobility. Just be careful while running away from his passive, it deals more damage than you would expect.”

KhaZix Mains says “[6/10] Another matchup where it can be decided based on your proactivity. If you let Karthus farm up and don’t pressure him/lanes early-game, then you may struggle as the game progresses. Look to place aggressive wards whenever you can, and try to get early ganks off before he reaches 6, also before he can pick up his core items since your base stats will be much more impactful early than his. Q evolve should be good to quickly DPS him but R can be a viable choice as well. Prioritize lethality items such as Ghostblade and Edge of Night instead of Cleaver in your build as long as there aren’t many tanks, so that you can deal with him quickly.”

Caled says “Karthus will be able to jungle diff most matchups as he has the ability to powerfarm and get free kills on low health targets with his Requiem (R) . Typically, when fighting Karthus in duels, look to fight him post level 6 and with form as you have the ability to block his ultimate damage with your Umbral Trespass (R) . Your best chance at winning against Karthus is going Blue Kayn as you can easily one shot him due to the fact that he has no mobility and is relatively very squishy. Keep in mind that he can build Zhonya’s Hourglass and Banshee’s Veil so try to fight him as much before he gets these items. When going Rhaast, dueling him can prove to be much harder so try forcing him into teamfights as it will be way easier to fight him then.”

C7 Lord Pingu says “He can hard outfarm you and can get massive gold leads just by pressing 1 button. If we are talking about a 1v1 scenario, it is essential you land your stun (which shouldn't be overly difficult given his lack of mobility), if he tries to flash away you really either have to insta run or just ult/flash after him immediately. He can kite you down really hard if you mess it up so you must land ult if he survives your stun. Any of the Galeforce Shieldbow or Kraken builds will do fine, although personally I prefer Shieldbow to stop him from cheese ulting you.”

Hidon1 says “Karthus is not that hard, but if he gets ahead of you the jungler is set and done and you can never be near him again. In order to not fall behind you need to clear your jungle. You CAN NOT leave camps for him to pick up, you win the 1v1 early on if you hit the snowball! If you want to play the match up how I play it, try to yoink his camps from him. I like to start snowball and take his raptors level 1 and if he is not on the red side of the jungle you can keep going and take the full side of that part of the jungle leaving him with only 3 camps. ”

Sorrowful Prince says “The definition of lane difference creates jungle difference. If you've got 3 loosing lanes you can't punish him and he will just go for 10cs/minute while "counterganking" his winning lane with one button. In this case your only hope is catching him offguard later on and bursting him down. On the other hand if you get winning lanes or the winning lanes are evenly distributed you can abuse your lane prios to fk him up in his jungle really hard while ganking your strong side. Honestly if you go Tiamat you can play Camille like you would have Nidalee in this case. Herald is really good against Karthus because missing towers force him to give up camps to avoid getting invaded which gives you bonus ressources.”

The Top Bear says “JUNGLE: Karthus jungle is one of those picks that tries to farm, but is good at fighting people in certain scenarios. His q damage is pretty good early, so be careful where you engage him. The best strategy to attack him is trying to oneshot him from bushes. It is also advisable to be semi-close to a hoppable wall or a bomb plant to give yourself an escape after, as his passive makes it impossible to stick around and farm his camps after he dies. MID AND TOP: Here, you want to make sure to ward for people coming to help karth, then proceed to clap this man's cheeks early. He has no mobility, and he can't dodge well placed spears easily. Just keep moving and don't get caught being poked down. ADC: ADC and SUP: Karthus is the same as solo laning, other than that he has a support to protect him. However, you have to watch out for the support distracting you are cc'ing you. If you start getting nailed by karthus, things get a bit tricky. Remember though, your main goal is to stamp out karthus and not give him the chance to be ahead.”

Steal camps and try to abuse the fact he's squishy. Unfortunately, Sejuani is not good at either of these. Karthus also scales really well. While he isn't a direct threat to us, Sej cannot abuse Karthus' weaknesses very well.

KhaZix Mains says “[5/10] Another matchup where it can be decided based on your proactivity. If you let Karthus farm up and don’t pressure him/lanes early-game, then you may struggle as the game progresses. Look to place aggressive wards whenever you can, and try to get early ganks off before he reaches 6, also before he can pick up his core items since your base stats will be much more impactful early than his. Q evolve should be good to quickly DPS him but R can be a viable choice as well. Prioritize lethality items such as Ghostblade and Edge of Night instead of Cleaver in your build as long as there aren’t many tanks, so that you can deal with him quickly.”

MrPuggles says “ Karthus is easy enough if you know what you're doing. Don't invade him as it is pretty much a skill matchup for Xin Zhao. Karthus may invade you. If he does, have one of your laners help kill him unless you have more health than him. His teamfights are decently strong, but not OP. Try to snowball as best as possible and you should be able to melt him. Don't let him get ahead or suffer the consequences.”

SexyKungFu says “REAL PAIN BECAUSE HE RUINS YOUR TEAMFIGHT POWER WHILE FORCING YOU TO TEAMFIGHT BECAUSE OF THE SHEER PRESENCE HE BRINGS. SCALES ABOUT 0.75X AS HARD AS JAX. EVEN WITH ADAPTIVE HELM HE WILL POP YOU WITH 5 Q'S BECAUSE OF HIS MAGIC RESISTANCE SHRED AND PERMANENT AOE. HIS ULT LOWERS YOUR SPLITPUSH POWER AS WELL. THANK GOD KARTHUS IS BORING.”

Maltz says “After Karthus nerfs this patch he is way worse in jungle, he has same midgame but has a harder time snowballing. You have better ganks, slightly worse clear but you can kill him whenever you see him”

Intello says “Karthus is seeing more play in the jungle. The important thing to know is how his q works. His Q has a very very low cooldown (1 second) and it'll spawn a bubble that'll pop and do damage. If the bubble only hits one person then it does 2x damage. When fighting him, you can burst him down but your main focus is sidestepping his bubble spawns. If you avoid his bubble pops then it's an easy fight. ALSO DO NOT FORGET HIS PASSIVE. When he dies he can still cast spells so if you kill him make sure to get away from his body. If you're far away enough he'll be useless. If he ults you, time your Serpah's Item shield to protect you. ”

The Jhin Cena says “If he's an AP Tank then he can be a bit harder to kill. However if he's squishy, you shouldn't have much trouble. If you see him channeling his ult, remember that you can stun it to prevent him from finishing it. Also his passive can be a bit annoying, so remember to juke your way out of range after you kill him.”

Toad12138 says “He is immobile, has little cc, the perfect target to either assassinate as blue or slaughter as Rhaast. You only have to be careful of early game fights since he is pretty strong and at lvl 6, he has his ultimate.”

Bielu1337 says “He's not very fast, easy to catch him with skillshots, then you can go all-in because he's squishy.”

Larby says “Invade this dude as much as safely possible if you get a lead. He can't trade with your burst. The worst thing you can do against a Karthus jungle is allow them to farm and unleash hellfire with their global R. Take camps from him, keep him tracked, keep him behind.”

Twist21 says “Better at teamfighting but if you manage to dodge some of his q's you beat him so easily in a 1v1 or 2v2.”

Jomickies says “Karthus is the opposite of Kindred. He does not pose a threat to you in skimishes/teamfights. However, he hard counters you because engaging on him is pointless. His passive allows him to deal massive amounts of damage, even if you kill him. This makes it very hard to engage him and if you ignore him your team will die to him. I recommend trying to either pick him or try to kill him later in the team fight as he cannot cast his ultimate near you because he can be CC'd out of the animation.”

SpicySkelleton says “You may not know it but JG Karthus is pretty good once he get's going. Don't try to int him, especially if you're alone. He's going to go AP no matter what so go for Anti-AP and you should be fine.”
