Yasukeh says “ Be aware of where she throws her daggers, and if she can trade on you freely without giving you a chance to answer. You can often try to bait her by standing on her daggers and forcing her to take several autos if she wants to use them. Be diligent in telling your team where she is, because no matter how far ahead you get on her, she can still roam bot and get a triple kill and be back into the game. ”

Dr Eggmund says “Very easy late game of course but early game don't stand near the daggers and when she E's out of position punish her for it. Her all in isn't as strong as yours. If either of you decide to all in then dodge Kat's ult with your Pool and Kat will die spinning and doing nothing.”

FalleN3 says “Play this match-up reasonably passive and don't give her free kills. Harass her as often as you can when she goes to last hit a minion. Stun her whenever she tries to ulti you. DO NOT use (R) Tibbers to stun her as there is a high chance she can leap away before it lands. Instead, use your (Q) Disintegrate to stun her and then hit her with (R) Tibbers. Be aware of her leaving lane for roaming kills. This often happens and she will get fed from other lanes if you don't keep track and ping or follow her. Katarina is squishy and you should have no problem 100 - 0 her after level 6.”

eiensiei says “REACTIVE lane, not proactive. At level 1, I'll E-AA and after that I'll only poke with E. At level 2 she usually looks for an opportunity to Q+E+AA+dagger passive+electrocute and burst me down, so I take W second and negate a lot of her damage while I out-trade her with E-AA (and I keep autoattacking as she runs away). Fighting in my minion wave also draws aggro and makes it harder for her to win trades. At level 3 she definitely wants to go in, so I stay out of her Q range - unless I have significantly more HP than her (or have Barrier up) and want to bait her. I'll shield myself as she jumps and will use E and keep autoattacking her, holding my Q until she has no more E resets. Most of the time she forgets I still have Barrier and keeps fighting me. She's the ultimate snowballing champion, so she's constantly looking for roams and I need to keep the pixel bush towards bot lane warded, or my own jungle to see her if she takes that path.”

Yamikaze says “She plays very passive at lvl 1, farming safely with Q. If she uses Q to harass you, just zone her from CS. Try to harass as much as possible with your [[Steel Tempest]] at early levels. When she gets lvl 3, she can all in you. You can predict where her daggers will land, so move away from it before she can [[Shunpo]] to them. You have a huge advantage if you both fight in a minion wave, as you can dash around and dodge most of her abilities. When she hits 6 and ults, you want to [[Wind wall]] and then [[Sweeping Blade]] through her, so the wall blocks out most of the damage. **When** you are going for the tornado, wait using it and bait out her E, or beyblade her. ”

After that, you can all in her pretty easily, and she suffers a lot from your silence.

Drewmatth Taliyah says “MELEE = PUSH EARLY (LEVELS 1-2) - CARE FOR GANKS! (SPAM Q'S TILL 50-60% MANA). Doran Ring + 2 Pots + Another Ring + early MR + Merc / Banshees. Get also Refillable if those 2 pots were not enough. Get Time Warp Tonic/Minion Demat for surival/fast push. Hardest matchup by far because she can just roam as a 0-2 on your bot and even if you ping they might die for no reason/int. I perma ban this champion because its the easiest to lose to WITHOUT DIRECTLY FEEDING HER (she's also impossible to kill on lane if she's a dia+ otp). Survivable with an early magic resist item such as Null Mantle or Negatron Cloak and also Exhaust for her ult or Barrier/Heal. I recomend Exhaust because we don't have a hard CC spell to nullify her ult down ( she will most often flash+jump+ult when the CC spells are down anyway if she's good, but Exhaust can deal with that) . When she does not have a dagger already set up on the ground go and Q her but stay far away from her daggers. Later on in teamfights unless she is a very good player she will struggle because of your Exhaust and other CC spells from your teammates. Target her down and you should be okay if she was not overfed by this point. Her roaming potential is on par with yours minus the ultimate, so be extremely careful on both roaming and FOLLOWUPS on her roams. NEVER try to outplay a Katarina simply because of her dashes. Play relatively safe until 6 then try to do a good roam, but beware of the followup. You should roam only if your teammates will remain above 50 percent HP after your gank (!!!!) - so that when she follows they would actually have a chance to survive and also Katarina would not get any resets. Ping like a maniac anytime she roams !!! Ban her if you lose more than twice and she gets fed on bot/top and you could not follow (or roam first and do your best on ganks OR ask for camp from your jg but a good kata will just jump back to base).”

iZianni says “Your spells are irrelevant if she has shunpo available, it's all about positioning and team composition for this match up. You win early but if you misplay she can 100-0 you at level 4. It takes a lot less for you to win this match up, but she has plenty of tools to make it an irrelevant situation. Use your range advantage, freeze lane as much as possible to create gank opportunities and hope she doesn't roam. If she roams, you're forced to push lane and get hextech combo'd every 50 seconds.”

Auto them to death under turret. Stay away from the blades on the ground and you should have a pretty smooth time against her. After she casts her Shunpo, even when picking up dagger it has a small cooldown early levels of almost an entire second. Use ur charm for this time frame and you can win pretty easy. At level 6 she will try to roam so always make sure she is pushed under and look for your own roams. ”

Sylvan Lore says “Katarina is a really high risk high reward champion that can easily get out of control. Trade carefully with her early and NEVER walk near a dagger on the ground if you want to trade with her. Also if she is chasing you and lands a Q, do not run directly away into the dagger about to be placed, but instead turn and walk towards her. This may seem weird, but it will serious drop off the damage she can do to you. Never underestimate her all in damage after level 6. You win this matchup by landing short QW trades on her when she is trying to cs with her E. ”

Unlike Fizz, i wont recomend u to chase her, unless try to outfarm her. The key here to be more farmed them her, so in the teamfight u can just "shoot" her with ur burst combo. Her mobility is insane, so always get stucked "Q" to be ready avoid her engage at the lanning phase, Yone is a very strong champ in the lategame, so dont be scary 2 be a not "midgame" carry for ur team, try to be "lategame" carry.

Yeager says “Katarina likes being pushed in early levels because she can cheese at lvl 1-3 and pick up some kills on bad opponents. Don't hard shove the wave but slow push it, so if she decides to engage on you, your minion wave will be bigger and do more damage to her. Walk in the opposite side of where her (Q)dagger is going, so you don't get hit by the AOE damage whenever she steps on the daggers on the ground. If you succesfully dodge the daggers on the ground, you win all trades because her damage is gone. Just make sure that you don't use your ball blindly while her E shunpo is up, because she can easily dodge it. Force and bait her abilities with autoattack, and then use your abilities as soon as she uses shunpo to a location. There is a short delay before she can use shunpo again.”

AP WormMaW Mid says “Good old Katarina, I guess anyone who plays mages knows how annoying her jumps can be, together with her damage output. I rated her as really high, even though really precise gameplay, can make this matchup quite easy. It means, that this lane might go really well or really badly. If you position yourself right and farm, she shouldn't be able to kill you and if you wait for right moment, you can even get kill 1v1 against her, but as I said, you just have to play perfectly. What is problem though, is her roaming potential. If she gets kills from other lanes, you mostly can't simply follow, unless you have really well warded jungle and you know where you are going, but mostly it's not worth it. So it's a bit of risk, but in lategame again, if you position yourself right, you might get win condition on your side again after you hit level 16, because she will have problem dealing with your poke and even get on you if you stand far away. If you get your Lich Bane, you can even oneshot her in a single combo, unless she uses Zhonya. To wrap it up - matchup is hard, but playable as any other and here it's really important to play it right - then it will become way easier than it seems to be.”

Zhonya can be a nice item to pick up after your gun-blade, especially if the top-laner / jungler are AD champs. Consider starting boots and health potions as they will enable you to dodge her daggers easier. You can try to bait her ultimate and then shroud yourself as you run away or (R) onto a minion to escape it. Once her ultimate is on CD, you can go for the kill. Otherwise, if you have a jungler with hard CC they can lock down her ultimate as you fight during a gank. She will roam, be sure to follow or be ahead of her.”

Also her E allows her to dash to he minion wave so don't call for ganks when her minion wave is coming. Most importantly she has too much escape utility which makes her a pain in the ass. Once you make a mistake she Q E R and you're dead. SO PLZ PLAY IT SAFE cancer champ btw.”

Reason97 says “Her movement's are highly predictable since they're pretty dictated by her daggers. You can also cancel her ult with either your Q or your own ult, so as long as you don't waste them willy nilly, she put's herself at high risk to try to all in you. The biggest issue is just the somewhat unpredictability of her daggers bounce. can cost you your passive if you're a bit closer to minions then you realize. ”

A general guide to Malzahar, The Prophet of the Void by Reason97 | Malzahar Player

Reason97 says “Katarina can do a lot of damage, but puts herself in a lot of danger to do it. Keep an eye out for whenever she looks like she going in for an engage, and save your stun for it, since her diving in to damage makes her very easy to hit with it. If she gets ahead, she'll be an issue, but almost all of her character depends on her getting ahead to be useful. so as long as you can avoid feeding her, it should be fine. ”

BloooodTV says “D-Blade. Katarina is very passive lvl 1, as she doesn't really have any way of doing anything. She will just farm with Q and setup for lvl 2. Zone her off cs early as much as you can try to poke her with Q or go in if she tries to get farm. Get away from her daggers until you have an item advantage. You have a massive advantage with a minion wave, but so does she. Make sure she doesn't have E up so she can't dodge your nado, or just beyblade her so she can't react fast enough (watch out for Faker out here dodging it). Once she goes for all-ins at level 6 you can windwall her R and if she keeps her r going after that like a sped just smack her and get as much damage off as you can. Also if you have nado you can just E+Q her and kill her if she doesn't have Shunpo reset. Good chance you win just watch out for her all-ins and watch out for ganks. Outscales you depending on comps. Take Conq. ”

Veralion says “HoB/Sword. This lane is balanced on a razor's edge and you'll need to focus up early. Other champions are able to snowball a game off of 3 or 4 kills, but this bitch only needs 1 to start murdering everyone. You CANNOT die. Period. Katarina lives and dies by her dagger placement. The trick to beating her is getting a feel for where her Q is going to land and being anywhere but there when it does if you aren't in a position to trade. It will always land a short distance behind the first target it hits. Once you have that figured out, you can farm with relative confidence and safety while you wait for a favorable moment. Hail of Blades with skilling Q at level 2 completely out-trades her and will make her scared to walk up for farm. If you're healthy, keep your mouse over that dagger and stand in range ready for her to E in. Hit her with a point blank E and unload on her. She will absolutely MELT and will freak out trying to retreat. The lane dynamic changes rather rapidly if you mess this up and let her escape without retaliation, though. It's best to wait until level 3 to begin trading, though. If you're down any health at all, you are on the defensive. Remember, you CANNOT die to her. She can take many different keystones. DH is the easiest to handle, followed by Conq, with Electrocute being the toughest. If she Q’s you from max range, you can safely W and run back. If she Q’s you from midrange, run anywhere BUT back. The dagger will land right where you’re running and she will be in range to E and chunk you down. Do not ever attempt to tank her ult. It does too much damage and you will die. Either interrupt it with your ult or flash the hell away. If you decide to all in her from range and not hold ult to stop hers, you’d better be damn sure you kill her before her ult gets more than a few ticks off. Don’t go for a roam if she can follow you. The last thing you want is to lure her to 3 half health teammates and set her up for a free triple. If she starts to follow, it's best to set up in a bush and catch her facechecking rather than let her get to a big fight. ”

It's kind of odd how much damage just throwing her dagger onto a minion that then bounces onto you can do. She does, however, need to get close to finish you off. Her blink makes her a problem, but if she does get close to you, lock her down with an E W for the root and throw a Q onto her. After enough times, she won't be able to retaliate anymore, and will play safe. Push the wave under the turret, because she can't farm under turret really at all.”

serruh says “this matchup should NOT be an issue whatsoever, she has a very weak laning phase, weak early levels and is actually very easy to setup ganks vs and set behind. the problem comes from when she roams around the map and gets ahead through other means. in those cases you usually cant deal with her(as your root doesnt stop her ult) and she just becomes impossible to fight. will probably lower her threat level once she gets nerfed, honestly think she's just overtuned atm.”

t3rminated says “Katarina is a really, really annoying matchup. She just hops around everywhere and avoids your combo. The reason why I put this in major and not extreme is because they are very predictable. If you can see that their dagger is going to you, you can predictively shoot q or e and combo them. Play safe under tower with good positioning and you should be fine. Expect a really boring laning phase with no deaths and hope that the Kat gets impatient and does something reckless. Also make sure that Kat doesn’t roam or at least warn other lanes. If the kat roams you basically lose. Try to deny them from doing this by shoving the wave and pushing for plates (make sure you know where the jungler and Kat is). Or you can counter roam. ”

Eccentricks says “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Oh sorry, yes, Katarina. This matchup is really tough, so bring ignite and be prepared for a wild ride. Start Dorans, you will need it. Do the thing you do with Zed and harass with Q when she steps up for minions. Once she is low, or she engages, since she is a fucking rabid bitch who is out for blue blood, dash in (or out) and hit her in the face with E and violently unshackle your combo upon her. After that is over, you probably will be dead, because Katarina... But, if you do it at a good time (like when your jungle is there, her's isn't), you can secure a single kill, and from there, push it in, back, buy items, and stay determined and focused at all times. Ask yourself questions about what to do next and try to remember where the jungle is, as they help her a lot. If you feed, however, the match is lost. But if you are down one kill, don't fret, or rotate, you can come back with smart play, think about what she is doing wrong and look for mistakes. Try to not focus on CS while she is in the wave, as you will probably die. Try to poke her instead and then back up, because she usually will retaliate and you need to be quick about it.”

Your ult interrupts her and will run her down and help you dive her. she won't be able to waveclear. she won't be able to poke you out or put damage on you. she won't be able to all-in you until the point where she's probably already been shut down. her only hope is to hit 6 and roam or to gank you, but you should follow her or coordinate with your jungler to countergank.”

DravensBukkake says “Ignite/Exhaust matchup. Level 1, make sure you're not in her Q range, AA her everytime she walks up for CS. So free to harass her. Level 2 she wouldn't dive you, unless you're directly ontop of her daggers. A trick that pisses off kat players is to place soldiers ontop of your minions when they're low to harass her trying to CS, and ontop of daggers when she throws them. So if she ever E's in on them, you get a free AA. General tip for melee matchups, if you ever get to AA them use Q immediately and AA another to proc electrocute. IF KATARINA USES E DIRECTLY ONTOP OF YOU, without landing on a dagger so she doesn't get resets, ult IMMEDIATELY so she is a sitting duck.”

A good Katarina will have you farming under tower, warding hard and playing as if it were a buffed Fizz. In contrast bad Katarina will feed you free Q stacks, dash into your stun and allow you to scale as if you were against an AD soraka mid.

Euphoric Toaster says “Before 6 you can poke/harass/deny her pretty hard, just be sure to watch out for daggers she might be looking to Shunpo to. After 6, you have to hold onto your E stun pretty much for the rest of the laning phase (unless you're quickly clearing a wave from a distance before backing) so that you can stun her if she tries to Ult near you. Holding onto your stun negates most of the kill pressure she will have on you meaning shes going to be even or behind, making her pretty useless. She might eventually just sack the lane and look for roams for easy kills so just be sure to aggressively call her roams out to your team.”

Xavier Senori says “Katarina is somewhat hard to play against. Her ability to Shunpo over your skillshots makes it really hard to harass her. On top of this, her gap closer and burst damage can easily ruin your day. However, because she is a melee champion, you should be able to completely control the lane pre-6. After this, ward up, push her under tower, and force her to lose cs or get harassed. Don't try to 1v1 her unless she is getting wrecked in lane, especially since Petrifying Gaze is really hard to land.”

CC Diana says “Unfortunately for Diana, Katarina is no longer a free matchup due to her rework in patch 6.22. To win this matchup you need to be mindful of where Katarina throws her daggers such as low health allied minions since her Q will ALWAYS land on the opposite side from where she threw it. Kat has two basic lane combos - one at level 2 and the other at level 3. Her level two combo is a simple Q -> E which she can use to quickly proc her passive and deal massive damage. Level 3 is where Kat becomes really dangerous. Her combo at this point will be E -> W -> Q -> E -> E -> Ignite (if she has it). This has the potential to completely 100 - 0 you. To avoid being oneshot, move in the opposite direction of where Kat's Q dagger lands so she cannot proc her passive damage. If she dashes onto you despite not getting any passive damage off, hit her with a Q and W to outtrade her. Once she hits 6, make sure you save your E for when she ults. Using your E before she ults will give her an opening to deal massive damage to you.”

With Katarina's Q's you will notice daggers on the ground... she can jump to them and then ult you, try to land the edge of your cage on the dagger just as she jumps so you can get a free stun on her so you can perform your burst combo (W + Q + R | In that order)”

LyndonK9 says “Katarina has a hard time farming under tower so push her into tower and try to poke her when she goes for CS. It makes you susceptible to ganks and she can engage on you easier so ward and stay away from her daggers. If you get her low you can try and charm and kill her. She will most likely look for roams so try and push the wave in and follow. A lot of people think you can just charm Katarina after she jumps to her daggers but her movement speed makes it super difficult, and it's really hard to predict when she Es. The most important thing is when she ults she is an easy charm target. Especially in teamfights, save your charm for her. ”

TruMediaMix1 says “Like Irelia, Katarina can do serious damage to you and the rest of your team if she gets a gold advantage. Pay close attention to her, and don't be afraid to punch back if she tries to go all-in. If you're caught inside her ultimate, use Defiant Dance to mitigate the damage if you can't simply run out of its range.”

LuxIsMyCrush says “annoying, annoying, wtf this damage, no mana cost, will be terrible if she know to play. She will try qwee combo or qer combo, or maybe just er combo if you are really bad. Rush zhonya if you can't survive with just holy barrier and your skills.”

The Light Of Demacia! [9.3] by LuxIsMyCrush | Diamond Lux Player

Torblerone says “Katarina has the ability to do high burst damage while at the same time having high mobility and the ability to just completely dodge an entire anivia combo if she plays it correctly. Her ability to close gaps is too much for an inexperienced Anivia to handle and you will more than likely lose lane if you do not play safe”

The Bird Season 9 by Torblerone | Anivia Player

Dr Wonderdrugs says “Contrairement à ce que j'ai pus dire précédemment sur la mobilité et les assassin katarina est un match up pas si compliqué puisqu'elle dash principalement sur ses dagues ou ses alliés elle sera donc facilement anticipable grâce à vos talents de mastermind de la prédiction et de votre long entraînement dans la salle de l'esprit et du temps.”

moutenn says “She does a lot of damage. You have to avoid as much of her damage, as you can. She can not poke better then you, but care her E's. They can juke all you have, so keep in mind if her E is up. Also dont stay in her R to get more damage on Death mark, Its better to just get out of range and try and Q her. She will be standing still.”

Zed Season 9 moutenn guide by moutenn | Zed Player

qasddsa says “Pretty easy actually. Put two or three points into Q and then proceed to max E. Or, just max E from the start. Trading in minions and poking her from a distance is your priority in this lane. Save your Q for when she starts ulting so you can silence & cancel it.”

WhiteSheepz says “Katarina is an extreme threat to Xerath as she can dash close to you and dish out masses of damage, try not to die to her at the loss of CS. If she does dash to you fire a stun behind you as that is where she will land- this will give you a chance to escape. If you are unsure of how to fight against her it never hurts to stay under the turret and punish her with your range when she gets too close.”

Xerath Guide by WhiteSheepz by WhiteSheepz | Xerath Player

Skeptil says “If she tries to jump on you, you can either use your Tides of Blood or you can run away with Sanguine Pool, and because she's melee you can easily harass her with your Transfusion.”

The Rivers Will Run Red. (9.2 Vladimir Mid / Top) by Skeptil | Vladimir Player

Draczor says “Katarina isn't as dangerous as you might think. Make sure not to walk or get near her daggers that lie on the ground since that is her main source of dmg. She won't be able to do anything against you on level 1 and 2. Poke her with Q and E and she can't come close to farm. Make her low enough and you can kill her. Try holding on to your Chaos Storm so you can cancel her ultimate if she uses her combo on you. If you know that her Shunpo is on cooldown then don't hesitate to use your Chaos Storm to try and kill her unless she is near her tower. If you play around her daggers then you should have an easy lane.”

Gambinos says “Katarina hard counters melee pretty easily. Her ult is really quick too and being able to put high amount of burst. You can WW her Q but she has low cooldown so it wouldn't mean that much.”

[9.1] Yasuo Build Guide, For newer players by Gambinos | Yasuo Player

Sozzoh says “Katarina is pretty scary. Whenever she ults you, ult her into your tower or ult her away if you really need to. Because of her Shunpo, you'll want to abuse her if she uses it incorrectly. (not blinking to a dagger) She can blink over your ult and completely ignore your soldiers, so roaming for kills is a good idea. I would recommend buying Zhonya's if she's too much of a problem.”

Autoswitched says “Easy matchup as her q won't even damage you if you have your passive up, and if she goes in for a combo, make sure you punish her hard because you out damage her. Ensure you windwall her q if you don't have your passive up. If she ultimates you, e through her, and activate windwall.”

undeadsoldiers says “Katarina is an AP-assassin and I actually find her pretty easy to lane with. If it's not the best Katarina, she will use her shampoo (or is it shunpo idk ?? [jk]) to get close to you for an all-in and you can just E her from there to stop her.”

Prenora says “in the same boat, be a little more predictable, katarina also has a hard early game and a hard time fighting under tower, she thrives from roams as she wont really be able to 1v1 you, keep her under tower, and punish her for leaving lane dont try to solo her, she's much more mobile than you”

AP Lucain-The two Gunned sorcerer by Prenora | Diamond Lucian Player

Witwickies says “Dashes are most dangerous moves against Zyra. Katarina can either dash and blow enemies away. In this match-up you can find light by keeping track of her daggers. Keep distance to them and go with all-in only if there are none of them around.”

Ivy covers Mid Line Castle [Zyra Guide] by Witwickies | Zyra Player

undeadsoldiers says “She can poke you really hard, so try to communicate with the jungler for ganks, and watch out for her level 6. You shouldn't really get near her, and you dont need to you have decent range, I'm saying that because level 6 dependent champions rely on calculating when 6 will be up, so she can catch you off guard and use it immediately. Watch out for her roams too, they're really bad, especially if it's a 4 man dive bot. Suggested: Exhaust”

hieuman98 says “dont try to combo this champ, just keep the lanes even. Focus on csing, and push the whole wave when looking to gank. Make sure to be careful roaming because she can easily jump on you when you move through the river.”

macspam says “Katarina's E hard-counters Veigar. The best advice I can give is to play some games with her to understand her kit. Similar to Leblanc, don't expect your cage to do much of anything to hinder her mobility. However, Banshee's Veil will reduce her kill potential. ”

DuhBrandon says “Not a threat whatsoever, you outrange her so even if her daggers land near your farm you can farm with your Q and poke her at the same time. My advice is to save your yellow or red card and wait for her to try and pick up her dagger and punish her from there. Unfortunately she is not like draven so getting her daggers is not a necessity but you should easy win this matchup.”

Arcuzz says “For me, Katarina is a easy match. For others could be a pain in the ass. Keep in mind that she can kill you 1 vs 1. Your main task is to poke and harass him from afar. She cannot reach you because your role is to play safe. Don't try to force a fight, only sabotages his farming.”
