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.”

TygoVe says “In lane you can try to bully her with autoattacks, but try to watch out for her burst with ignite. She is not a big problem for you early on, but often you will see that she will get about 300 kills at your botlane, then she becomes a problem. Build Zhonya's Hourglass unless she is very much behind. Try to stay near your carries in teamfights and ult her as soon as you can”

Avucado says “Does a lot of damage and can stay on you easily. A good Katarina will be very hard to play into. Go for E lvl 1 as it will do half their health as long as they don't start E. Look to walk up then Q->HoB autos, E out if they try to full combo you in retaliation. Hitting R is very hard because they can E to almost anything so save it until you know they don't have it (daggers on the ground reset the cooldown when picked up). Ask for a gank but make sure not to engage when their wave is coming or else they'll just E out. Hexdrinker is useful if they go AP.”

Polarshift says “Move away from her daggers and try to burst her in teamfights. Keeping the wave at your side of the lane or shoving her in is the best way to play out this lane. Just use your superior waveclearing ability to prevent fighting her. Don't underestimate her early damage, but she shouldn't be able to stick on you. If she dashes on you, use your EWQ combo to proc Phase Rush or Overload and kite her out.”

iZianni says “Don't use any skills because she will literally just Shunpo then press R. I genuinely believe that Katarina is an elo-inflation champion that is impossible to counter in Solo Q. Your only hope is holding Q until she suicides into you because of her massive EGO. If you're able to keep her at 60-70% hp, she will 100% kill herself by shunpoing into you. KatEvolved literally has done this every single time in our 1v1s.”

Yeager says “Do not push the lane early game. She can all-in you from lvl 2 and win the trades. If you freeze the lane infront of your tower, she can't kill you. If the katarina doesn't have cleanse, she should be a free kill if you ping your jungler to come.”

[Season 11] Yeager's Master Twisted Fate Guide by Yeager | Diamond Twisted Fate Player

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.”

Eriosunx says “Pretty easy both before and after level 6. Just avoid walking on daggers if you have your E on cooldown. Try to throw vertical E covering your champion's hitbox as well.

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.”

DemonDiana says “First, do not underestimate Katarina's dueling power. She is strongest against you with her AD build that lets her do true damage through your little shield. She will lose in trades early bc your shield. Your poke is better and threatens and all-in style trade that she won't want to take. Care for when you Q bc she can E to you and deny your E reset. Denying Diana's Q, therefore her E reset, is essential for vsing Diana. It's important to starve her early, most importantly don't die or let her roam for free. If she roams, you take tower plates and Rift and will win lane. Ward the bush behind botside red buff if you're on either side (Red or Blue).”

Every time she tries to Q you, just E in, even if she doesn't, go bush Q and go in. Tho, don't act too cocky since she still deals a good amount of damage, but just have in mind that you can kill her any time. Use W/E to dodge her attacks. Go Mobility Boots for roaming.”

Windwall her Q so she loses a dagger to jump too. Build Hex if you find yourself dying in this lane or at least get a magic mantle. Save Windwall for her ulti post 6.”

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).”

TALIYAH PRIMER: Ultimate Guide to Taliyah MID by Drewmatth Taliyah | Diamond Taliyah Player

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.”

Ambitieux says “Katarina is a deadly champion that thrives on levels to win. Your advantages is level 1-3 respectively were as most melee matchups you run them under tower as fast as possible. 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. ”

Ambitieux's MASTERS Quick Guide to Diamond+ by Ambitieux | Diamond Ahri Player

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. You can also consider taking ignite in this matchup and playing for the advantage since she struggle to burst you from a safe range. ”

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. ”

kindo says “Katarina is pretty easy to deal with in lane. Most of the time, I can muster up to 30-40 cs leads on katarina since they're unable to walk up to farm aside from chucking her qs. In the 1v1, Kindred can exert extreme pressure and keep perma lane-prio. Except this is pretty much nullified by the fact that she gives 0 shits about leaving lane to pick up 2 free kills even if it costs her 5 waves. The difficulty comes that this champion snowballs EXTREMELY hard. Her ultimate CD is pretty negligible and gets further reduced on random kills she'll inevitably get. Once she picks up even a few kills, she can force your ult freely and disengage whenever she wants. It's still possible to kill her with some CC, but she can likely just 1 shot you when she starts snowballing - allows her to farm the wave and roam for free. Bad and even mediocre katarinas will just try to all in you early and let you snowball - if you snowball, games over for her. ”

richardlized says “Do not step on her daggers. She has a relatively weak early game, so abuse that hard. Most Kats will try to E on you when you WEQ, making inexperienced Zed players whiff their Qs. In this scenario, do not panic, AA and walk back a bit to dodge W dagger damage, and AA again while throwing out Qs. This wins you the trade if you proc electrocute. After level 6, if she ults and Es to a minion, follow her with your W and you can win this matchup. ”

If you do this, then you should be able to get level 6 quicker and with ignite and ult be able to kill her.

TheSecretsWithin says “Kassadin is actually one of the champs that can deal with Katarina. During level 1, you can just block all of her Q damage with your Q shield. Level 2, she will out trade her E Q passive combo with your aa W aa Q. But level 3 onwards, you need to play smart. Though she does spam her abilities, don't underestimate Katarina, she can still snowball with 1 kill. Play the lane smart, post 6, hold your Q for her R, cancelling it entirely, and your shield will still be up to absorb any other damage she tries to go for. Be patient and either keep poking her till you are confident enough to all in or wait till she wastes everything and commit to the fight. Katarina ain't much if she doesn't get a kill to reset her abilities. ”

fanchessfan says “Katarina is literally the easiest matchup. She can't CS in lane and if she tries to all in you just E her away. If she uses her ult your E interrupts it so you can cancel it. If she tries to roam you can look to even buy an early tiamat if you find her outpushing you. The only thing to be worried about is ganks. In low elo nobody ganks mid but take exhuast just in case. ”

shidonryoku says “You counter her, you have more damage from combos, but stay alert in the early stages. After lvl 6, always prepare your Q to interrupt her R. Nowadays the AD build is popular, so exhausting seems not a bad option, although the nerf on her R made it much weaker in this build.”

Vispectra says “This match-up is typically when I see Kassadin being picked. Although yes , you somewhat counter her , she can snowball off other lanes if you don't ward and ping properly. In lane you should be fine just Q when she does and walk away from the dagger ( usually stepping forwards a bit ). She can kill you if she hits 3 before you and you're too far up. Her R will be canceled by your Q or using your R to get out of range.”

StarTundra says “Katarina can be dealt with. Hold Q until her blink is on cooldown, use wall to disrupt her ult if she ults and you should be okay. Keep in mind that fighting katarina relies on the enemy making mistakes, and that you're not really able to engage on her. Katarina is fairly squishy and one or two spell rotations + electrocute should be able to kill.”

Mid Lane Domination by an Anivia OTP by StarTundra | Anivia Player

cookanarities says “Katarina is pretty easy to deal with in lane. Most of the time, I can muster up to 30-40 cs leads on katarina since they're unable to walk up to farm aside from chucking her qs. In the 1v1, Kindred can exert extreme pressure and keep perma lane-prio. Except this is pretty much nullified by the fact that she gives 0 shits about leaving lane to pick up 2 free kills even if it costs her 5 waves. The difficulty comes that this champion snowballs EXTREMELY hard. Her ultimate CD is pretty negligible and gets further reduced on random kills she'll inevitably get. Once she picks up even a few kills, she can force your ult freely and disengage whenever she wants. It's still possible to kill her with some CC, but she can likely just 1 shot you when she starts snowballing - allows her to farm the wave and roam for free. Bad and even mediocre katarinas will just try to all in you early and let you snowball - if you snowball, games over for her.”

Arrow go zoom by cookanarities | Kindred Player

TheWerefloof says “Katarina is also in the abusable melee list, but because her Q lets her play safe for the first waves she's not as abusable. Still, if she engages on you try and use your AA cancel to get MS and put some clearence between eachother, then swing towards her and her minions. If all goes well you'll continue shooting her when she blinks back (and since most take TP + Ignite now a days), it should be an easy kill. Also they're all very, very cocky.”

peytonqt says “[SKILL MATCHUP] [PR/Conqueror/Electrocute] [Long Sword] Harass Katarina as much as you can, and if she wastes her Q LVL1 try to play aggressive or harass her as much as you can. You want to get her low enough so that she won't engage on you. Level two be careful for her engage. While you should win the LVL2 trading, you can still get outplayed. If you want to smack her away, wait for her to waste her dash and then Hammer Form E her because just like Irelia, she'll dash onto you and it'll mean nothing but a little extra damage. Make sure to ward the river or even just in the middle of lane so you know where she's going when she goes into fog of war. If you see her roaming at 6 ping the shit out of your team to get away or play safe. If they don't, there's only so much you can do. Don't fight her 6 and just wait to buy your items. Mid game and late game you can burst her fast but her burst is also good and she has insane outplay potential on you so be careful. ”

New Best Akali Guide from Proffessor Akali [season 11] by harris tegas | Diamond Akali Player

The Jhin Cena says “Take either Fleet Footwork Rune Page if the enemy comp isn't very tanky, otherwise take either Conqueror Rune Page. Yone vs Katarina is another skill match up. Generally speaking, most Katarina players aren't experienced enough to be able to counter you effectively, so you should have an edge over her in the early game. However if Katarina rushes BORK, she will gain a stupid amount of damage which you should certainly respect. It can be easy to become overconfident winning against a Katarina in trades but then getting caught off guard by her BORK power spike, so keep an eye on if she is rushing that item. If she is instead rushing into an AP first item and is becoming a threat, you can consider rushing Wit's End as first item, or at least rushing Negatron Cloak as one of your first back items. In the laning phase, it can sometimes be hard to trade with Katarina since she can easily dodge your Stacked Q with her E (dash), so preferably wait to engage until she wastes her E, and you can also go in with only 1 stack on your Q, so if she dashes during your engage you can stack it and then use your Stacked Q to knock her up. Post 6, remember that you can interrupt her ult with your Stacked Q or your own ult, so hold onto these abilities if it looks like she wants to go in for an ult. Most Katarina players try to get fed off of roaming, so if she is roaming a ton it may be a good idea to deep ward your lane and spam ping the respective lane, while also getting a CS advantage during the time she wastes roaming.”

Ryank30 says “Fleet. I would always take MR in runes before the game starts, many Katarina players like to start with a Dark Seal and still build AD Kraken Slayer. Plus, her passive grants her additional cooldown reduction if she manages to get any takedowns. You win levels 1 to 2, but be careful around her all ins at level 3. Good micro can save you. Try to walk in and out of her dagger range to bait her out but be careful since the hitbox is much larger than the actual circle indicator the dagger creates.”

GeDBo says “Katarina is a malee assassin. Some people build her AD other build her AP. Either way, you must always avoid her daggers. Whether she is AD or AP she needs to come close to you in order to short trade with you/burst you. Keep in mind she is malee so you have the wave management priority. Don't let her get close to minions and if she does punish her with short trades. Best runes against katarina are either Hail of Blades or Electrocute. Poke her as much as possible and ping whenever she is missing. She is one of those champions who needs kills in order to perform well later on in the game. Don't forget to ward.”

SoraSan says “Katarina contra Azir depende muito da mecânica individual, o chamado de "Skill Matchup". Como estamos do lado do Imperador das Areias, vou lhe dar as dicas para ganhar. O combo nivel 2 da Katarina pode ser perigoso, ainda mais se você gastar o Q atoa, ela pode virar uma grande quantidade de dano em você. Após isso, a lane fica um pouco mais voltada para a mecânica. Recomendo que mantenha a lane sempre freezada ao seu favor, isso impede 90% do dano dela em você, porém ela aproveitaria essa janela para roamings. Use seus pings caso ela desapareça. Uma tática para ganhar a lane dela é: Sempre que houve uma adaga no chão coloque um soldado do lado e a puna caso ela vá pegar a adaga. Guarda o Q para uma possivel fuga ou execução caso consiga puni-la muito. O Azir tem algumas formas de counterar a ultimate dela. A primeira é apenas saindo do range com o E, a segunda é ultando e virando a troca e a segunda é nem dando a oportunidade dela ultar. Se você conseguir punir bastante ela usando o soldados nas adagas ela quase sempre estará com menos vida atual que você. E seu scaling é muito maior que o dela, visto que ela é um campeão de Snowball. Recomendo Chuva de Laminas ou Ritmo Fatal nesse caso. Caso não se sinta confiante, pegue Exaustão ou Barreira pra sobreviver ao dano dela. Se sentir que pode mata-la antes do 6, sinta-se livre para ir de Incendiar.”

l2ingeR says “Riot's Balance team, in all their mighty wisdom, decided to buff Katarina for no fucking reason recently, as we all know. For that reason, I'd put Katarina between threat level Even and Major. In lane, not that bad. The threat with Katarina is the fact that she can get only half the CS you have and still pop off as long as your bot laners decide she'd be fun to feed. Watch for those roams, be careful of the jungler, and don't be afraid to get a bit aggressive when Katarina engages.”

Tamatamo says “Her high mobility is a big problem. You beat her before she gets lv 3 so use that time to get an advantage by poking her out. If she is low enough and bad enough try to get her before lv 3. If you can't then no problem. After lv 3 try to play safer while still poking her out. Once she gets ult you can cancel it by flaying or hooking her making her ult useless. So you have that advantage at least.”

Johan Paracelso says “Her AD build is disguting. Katarina is a hard match-up, mainly because of the damage she can out do, her basic combo wil hit you and the wave, and you won't even have a rest for the poke she can provide with her Q. Katarina doesn't use mana, so, if she can outrade you, she will stay in lane. Not to mention she can dodge your Q3 using her E, and, in that moment, she can combo you and kill you. You could wait until she uses her ult to E Ult her, but if she is intelligent, she won't fall for it. It is pretty hard to beat Kat”

lenithebot says “Katarina has insane kill pressure pre 6. She can close the gap between you and her instantly and will either nearly or completely kill you. Even if she gets close to your tower and you use your ultimate to push her in she can instantly E to either your minions, her minions, or you. If Katarina engages you and uses her R immediately use your ultimate to push her away or you will die. To play against her try to slow push and poke her down slowly. Make sure you never get hit by an initial Q by Katarina or that you are in the radius of her spin when she picks up her dagger. If you can't find yourself being able to do anything against her build up a big wave and roam post 6. After you have 1450 gold you should buy Lost Chapter and a refillable you should be able to poke her without running out of mana. The ideal keystone in this matchup would be Arcane Comet since you can really get close enough to hit your autos with Lethal Tempo and Hail Of Blades and in the case that you try to she engages with her E and even if you live you will be down on CS, XP, and you will have nearly no kill pressure for the rest of lane. You could take Exhaust if you play it right and you know you could win it in lane although even with Exhaust if she has her E up she will still get away. I normally go TP in this matchup to try to rush Lost Chapter or go for a roam, reset, and TP back to lane. I highly recommend banning Katarina.”

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. ”

Be sure to spam ping if she disappears, lest she get a kill and invalidate any lead you managed to gain over her.

A good kat will wait for 2 before trying to trade with you.(Other than q spam which you can avoid by standing by the side of your minions) She will generally wait out her daggers and go in at the last second. She will try bait out your q don't fall for it. This match can be really tricky. Focus on farming, wave management and denying her roams. If she goes for a roam fully push her in and deny her cs and gold. Cant avoid if she gets kills. Spam ping her position and try get vision in their jungle early. If they have cc jungler create freeze just infront of your tower else you going to have a miserable time. Hold onto your q like you do your your hatred of teeto. This matchup is really tricky.

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.”

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.

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.”

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. ”

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. ”

[10.18] Lao's Vladimir - Kneel before Vlad by laoshin3v3 | Diamond Vladimir Player

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. ”

xtrinity01x says “Average Kats are okay..but good Kats are hell. even if you try to predict where she goes, she just dashes all over the place and its difficult to land a single root. Bully her lvl 1-3 and then try to bait out her ult because since you have to get close to ult, she'll probably try to counter it by ulting and btw, that thing hurts a lot.”

Gageowago says “Stay off her daggers and watch out for the level 2 Katarina combo because it will put you to half health. Abuse her hard at level 1 and play safe afterwards. Once she uses q or w it goes on a long cooldown so poke her when she uses them. Also if she uses her shunpo without getting a dagger you have about 12 or more seconds to punish her because it goes on a massive cooldown if she doesn't reset it. Post-6 save charm for if she ults on you. -------(Patch 9.23) Katarina is also a Conqueror abuser. She can easily kill you and heal from it with new Conqueror. Stay back and avoid daggers even when ahead.”

Lil Tidepod says “Katarina is a little bit unique with assassins in terms of just how insanely mobile she is, and that she doesn't have to always get super close to deal big damage. 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.”

Fhizzikx says “This champion just dashes everywhere. Stay under tower and farm safely. Don't lose hp for some cs because early game cs isn't as important as xp. lvl 1 she doesn't have much mobility so look for some autos. Once she hits 2 be wary of her dashes on you. Hold onto your e and don't use it until you're sure its going to hit because once your e is down you're very vulnerable. You can cancel her r with your e and she can dash behind you while you're in r. Play Smart.”

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.”

Against a good katarina, you stand no chance and you won't even hit you W, I promise. She has no dashes, so your E is not a big help either. STAY SAFE, never engage without a jungler, unless overfed. Kata snowballs SUPER HARD and even with 2 kills, she'll soon be at 5 and your game is going down, just like the Titanic.”

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.”

i am a heron says “you just absolutely dumpster her. Katarina is the textbook lane to pick ivern in to. She can do nothing to you, she's too squishy to eat your bushwack harrass, she's free food for your jungler, and landing E & Q against her is a breeze because she has to jump on you to hurt you. 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.”

Marumo says “Threat level 3-9. My gut tells me to put Katarina higher in terms of threat, but there's a good reason I haven't. Katarina depends entirely on her player. 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. This is unlike the other 5 threats that I have because most of them can beat you without it really being a great test of skill.”

spark2 says “A good Kat can be extremely unpredictable, but in general you should stay away from her knives as they are where most of her lane damage comes from. She can be a pain since the healing reduction from her ult makes your ult worse.

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.”

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.”

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.

Slydemon says “Kat can almost always out-trade you if she has her abilities. Wait for her to waste her dash or her Q, then jump on her and proc your passive if possible. Short trades are key until you have your ultimate. Also, watch the level advantage, she'll kill you if she hits 3 before you.”

Header_FX says “At early, push in and try to harass her till lvl 3. Level 2 you can take e for doing maximum damage, because many katarina players (my experince) think they can level 2 all in you, so taking e will out trade her easy. After she got hextech gunblade you cant 1v1 her, so pushing in and roaming is the best answer.”

BicBee says “Starting E level 1 lets you win trades hard because your shield negates her dagger damage. Kat is very predictable because she will usually go to where her daggers are to trade. You can use this knowledge to bait her or to aim your skills at. Try to walk away towards the side or towards her when her daggers are on the floor because she will jump to them. Post 6 you will die if you don't land your ult to cancel her ult. ”

AzureArmatt says “The key to beat Katarina is quite easy to understand 1) respect her damage 2) avoid staying near the daggers that are on the ground 3) save your charm (don't spam it) Her mobility will allow her to doge your skillshots (charm mainly) and out trade you if you are not careful so try to play a bit more safer then normally you would if you don't know how good she is. Consider buying Zhonya or stopwatch early to deny her burst damage once she gets ahead and follow her around the map since she will roam quite often due to her assassin nature”

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.

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.”

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.”

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.”
