Fizz is a very hard matchup.
He deals way more damage than Katarina does, and his laningphase is more consistent.
He has a big escape as well so its also hard for junglers to help you out.
DO NOT PUSH LANE EARLY LEVELS!
Best option is to not trade him BEFORE LV3 and the optimal buildpath is ELECRTO+BONEPLATING+DOUBLEMR OR CONQUEROR+BONEPLATING+OVERGROWTH , starting DSWORD and trying to get advantage level 3
Rumble
in 11.8 rumble mid is a TINY BIT OVERBUFFED not gonna lie eheh.
He can literally 100 0 from lv3 without items. Going verdant's barrier is a must! Otherwise he is gonna have permaprio and perma kill pressure.
CONQ+BONEPLATING and ELC+BONEPLATING combined with double mr and verdant's will give you a chanche.
Sylas
Sylas is a popular pick midlane in 11.10. The weakest side of sylas is that he is pretty squishy early levels and in order to take the best advantage in lane you have to play aggro from lv2 to lv5.
Best runes are CONQUEROR+BONEPLATING / ELECTROCUTE+W/E U NEED.
BOTRK RUSH and E MAX makes the laning phase way easier due to his low base-armor.
Make sure to not push too much the wave and try to get him under your tower or at least close to it when you hit lv3 so you can all-in him with conqueror.
*SYLAS CHEESE* some sylas tend to start with E(CHAINS) lv1 and chain on you on level one. The way to counter this is to start with SHUNPO as first spell take the chain and AUTO E AUTO him, this way you will 100% out-trade him and you will get a significant advantage in the lane.
Kassadin
Kassadins started to adapt to Katarina lately, most of them play with electro+boneplating+armor in stats and ignite, this allows them to have a incredible kill pressure in lane at level 3, and they can fight you and trade very easily.
Best option is to start LONGSWORD+3POTS or DSWORD+1POT and going for CONQUEROR+BONEPLATING + X2 MR IN STATS , rushing BOTRK is the best option so far, once you have BOTRK CLOSED you can easily win 1v1's into Kassadin.
Make sure to NOT GET POKED BEFORE LEVEL 3 AND TO NOT TAKE A ANY TRADE WITH YOUR BONEPLATING ON COOLDOWN! , if you reach level 3 full health you can win the one on one into Kassadin if you play correctly and use your AUTO-ATTACK'S DAMAGE + CONQUEROR
Akali
Akali has a lot of lane-poke and can easily outlane Katarina, she can also 100 to 0 Katarina when she hits level 6.
Best option is to play safe and the optimal build is ELECTRO+SECONDWIND starting DSHIELD or DARKSEAL
I usually ingore lane , pickup TP+INGITE and play for sides.
Lee Sin
Lee sin is becoming popular in the midlane. Its a pretty hard matchup due to his insane sustain in lane and his high damage spike on his first back.
Solution to play this matchup is EXHAUST+IGNITE - CONQ+BONEPLATING / CONQ+COSMIC INSIGHT.
Core item is BOTRK RUSH and you are good to go!
Talon
Lately talon has been more dominant in the midlane. Its a pretty hard matchup since talon has a way more burst than you and way more map mobility even from the first few levels.
Best option is going ELEC+BONEPLATING, and unless you are already winning lane rush seeker's and avoid getting bursted before level6.
With seeker+boneplating you are allowed to all-in him at lv6 and pretty much outlane him or kill him.
Make sure to run TP+IGNITE for being able to follow him around the map on the important plays.
You can also play IGNITE+EXHAUST and try to hard win lane, but most of the time good talons just avoid fighting you and start focusing on the macro plays
Irelia
Unbarable laningphase, all you have to do is NOT FIGHT HER UNLESS HE HAS E ON OR Q ON COOLDOWN.
If you get hit by her E in the wrong spot you are dead!
And dying in this lane means she will start towerdiving you.
So be carefull.
The only positive side for katarina is that she has way more impact in teamfights and scales way better
Diana
Diana is a pretty hard matchup, this one can be played with BOTH CONQUEROR AND ELECTROCUTE buildpaths, I usually play with CONQUEROR+BONEPLATING+MR IN STATS , starting with LONGSWORD+3POTS and RUSHING BOTRK, once you have BOTRK CLOSED you can face a pretty consistent 1V1 INTO DIANA.
MAKE SURE TO NOT GET POKED FROM HER Q and another must is AVOIDING TAKING TRADES WHEN DIANA HAS HER SHIELD (W) UP.
You will most likely lose every trade if she has her SHIELD(W) READY TO GO.
Galio
Galio is a very common matchup for Katarina, the best option is going CONQUEROR+BOTH RESOLVE/DOMINATION.
Rushing BOTRK is the best option, but going NASHOR'S WORKS AS WELL.
You will find 3 types of Galio players.
The ones going basic Galio (AFTERSHOCK-TP) pretty easy to fight, just go when he has his keystone and boneplating down.
The other ones going for BURST DAMAGE (DH/ELEC+IGNITE) even easier to face but you must be carefull to take the one on one when you are full hp!
And last the PHASERUSH GALIO, I still havent figured out how to play into that, he engages on you and runs out with PHASERUSH and you have no time to counter-trade.
Just dont trade with him and focus on csing and side-map plays
Zed
Zed is one of the most common assasins you will find in Soloqueue.
This matchup is very snowball based. The first that snowballs can dominate the whole game.
I reccomend playing with ELECTRO+BONEPLATING+DOUBLEARMOR INTO SEEKER RUSH.
This will prevent Zed from solokilling you even if you play poorly and allows you to scale properly.
Anivia
The best option in this scenario is running TP+IGNITE and find windows to roam/tp on sides.
You cant farm even under tower, she will keep poking you out and eventually making you lose a lot of resources.
I reccomend CONQ/ELEC+SECONDWIND AND DSHIELD START
Annie
Annie is a lane bully for Katarina, she has an insane range and high damage even early levels(most of them run Electro and they just AUTO-Q-AUTO)
Best option is going BASE CONQUEROR RUNES and trying to all in level 3, let her push the wave and position it in a way that you can have free space to go full aggro level 3
*RUSH MERCS FREE MATCHUP
Azir
Very hard matchup, recommend CONQ/ELEC+SECONDWIND+DSHIELD START+TP IGNITE and putting your focus on sidelanes and wave management
Renekton
Just dodge, but for the braves I can help you out on that.
Go ELECTRO+BONEPLATING+DOUBLE ARMOR into SEEKER RUSH.
This will enable you to trade him, I know he looks tanky but early levels he can get bursted down pretty easily.
Most of the times you play this matchup the enemy will be overconfident due to the nature of the matchup, and you MUST abuse every small missposition they do in laningphase, take him low-hp and ask jungle to gank!
Viktor
Viktor is a pretty common matchup.
You need only 1 trick to run him down. Wich is giving up all cs until lv3.
When you reach lv3 you want his wave to be crushing under your tower and that's where you can all-in him and solokill / burn his summs.
With 1 kill in lane victor becomes very vulnerable and you laningphase becomes way easier
Braum
ANY FRONTLINE ENGAGE CHAMP IS THE BEST SYNERGY FOR KATARINA, ALL YOU NEED IS SETUPS IN FIGHTS!
Also Braum's passive works very nicely with Katarina.
Katarina after season 11 Updates is incentred on ON-HIT DAMAGE.
Every on-hit can proc Braum's passive.
Ideally Braum is the best ally to play around with Katarina, If you ult on an enemy with Braum's passive mark applied you will instantly stun him!
Same goes for Shunpo, wich also deals on-hit damage!

Hello and Welcome to my " KATARINA GUIDE". Im an Italian Master Katarina main.
I started playing in middle Season9 and peaked Diamond I in early Season10.
I know it sounds weird but, hold on, it wasnt my first experience on MOBA games.
I played DOTA 2 for years! So when switching to League of Legends I was still in my environment.
As I said , I come from Dota2, and in Dota details and game knowledge is a MUST.
That's why I decided to make a guide, I really like to speculate on the game details and share with you guys my experiences and knowledge.I really hope this guide will help you out and answer some of the questions that playing Katarina raised in your minds.
So, with all that being said, hope you enjoyed the guide, I will do my best to keep it updated and make sure noone will be missing out on new builds and playstyles.
Thanks for passing by, and enjoy the guide! π₯
PROS
π’Extremely fun to play π’Good scaling π’Insane mobility π’High mechanical skill-roof π’Rewarding when played correctly π’Insanely strong while snow-balling
CONS
π΄Very hard to master mechanically π΄Has barely any winning matchups π΄Sensible to burst-damage π΄Sensible to Crowd Controls π΄Her mistakes are easily punishable π΄Hard to get consistent high CS/m
ππππΎππππΎπππ Electrocute is a good and consistent keystone for Katarina and it's the best one for short-trade matchups or while versing squishy champions. It makes some matchups way easier, like Akali or Zed matchup, thanks to the short-trading potential given by the Q+E+W+E FAST TRADE COMBO in lane. It's also very good if our aim is just to kill a sensibile target in fights with a burst of damage on a grounded dagger in teamfights.
πΎππππππππ Conqueror is a very versatile and consistent key-stone for Katarina, it can be used both on BRUISER BUILDS, FULL AP BUILDS , AND HYBRID BUILDS. This makes Conqueror one of the strongest options depending on the situation, wich also allows us access to solo-kills in lane while going for Divine Sunderer or Blade of the Ruined King as first items.
πππππ ππππππ First Strike is a very situational key-stone and becomes very usefull if the match-up we face is really impossible to kill, and it's not even worth risking your entire laning-phase just to try a trade or a solo-kill. Why would you still go First Strike if you can just play safe with any other rune? Well, First Strike allows you to REACH YOUR 3 ITEM SPIKE WAY FASTER AND MORE CONSISTENTLY. Just to be clear, if the match-up is playable, is always better to go Conqueror or Electrocute.
ππππππ πΌπππ Summon Aery is a very strong keystone for controlling the laning-phase trough your poke damage. Combined with Scorch, Sudden Impact and Absolute Focus it will enhance our Bouncing Blades and allow us to poke really hard on the enemy midlaner.
ππππΌππππ ππππππ
is perfect to scale fast to frist item, expecially when playing with AD Builds. Blade of the Ruined King is the biggest spike for Katarina and having that little bonus gold from this rune, really makes you spike way faster. Downside, is that the Domination tree at this point and time is pretty weak after Sudden Impact nerfs. If you need tankiness, is always better to play with Resolve.
ππππππππππ ππππππ
is the option when we don't need Ingenious Hunter and we wanna ROAM AND FLANK FIGHTS PROPERLY INSTEAD, the out of combat movement speed might seem weak, but in reality allows you to gap-close way better on picks or flanks, while also allowing you to better catch waves on sidelane and follow up schermiseh or teamfights.
πππΏπΏππ ππππΌπΎπ
is the best one while running Domination trees, the bonus Lethality and Magic Penetration is no longer there, but the little bonus damage is still usefull to make your plays work. Make sure to always have it if you are running Domination tree as secondary or primary.
π½πππ πππΌππππ
is very usefull if we are facing BURST BASED MATCHUPS like Zed or Fizz. Combined with Electrocute we can safely take short-trades while the Bone Plating effect is up and even if the enemy trades back, we will still have some form of protection.
πππΎπππΏ ππππΏ
is very usefull if we are facing POKE BASED MATCHUPS like LeBlanc or Syndra. Combined with Doran's Shield it will allow us to have a WAY MORE HEALTHY LANING-PHASE and be able to witstand all the poke we need to take in order to not miss all the minions.
ππππππππππ
perfect in the games where we need to be A BIT MORE TANKY and we don't need the extra reistances from Unflinching
πππππππΎππππ
very usefull while playing against ENEMY COMPS WITH A LOT OF STUNS/SLOWS. The bonus MR/ARMOR seems little but combined with all the stats with AD builds works pretty well.
πππππππΌπ πππ
The best tip I can give you in order to learn her is PLAY HER A LOT and also WATCH A LOT OF STREAMS/VIDEO
Watching streams and videos allows you to experience situations even if you didnt had the opportunity to play them yourself. I know is weird but for me, watching others really helped me out on gaining confidence on the champion and knowing what to do in almost any situation.
ππΌππ π πππ
You can walljump with Katarina without any target on the other side of the wall. The wall doesnt have to be thick.
The trick can be executed by placing Preparation to the edge of the wall and before the Preparation Dagger drops you can Shunpo on the very edge of the dagger, even if you dont see it you can still jump over it.
ππππ ππΌπππ ππππππ
I use it mostly to surpise the enemy thanks to the very LONG RANGE, its basically instant if you do it in the correct way.
The trick is simply pressing both Flash and Shunpo and the same time on the target, it will automatically use both of the abilities and both their max range of usage. Trust me, noone will expect that much range of engage
πππΌππ πΏππππππΌππ
Consists in using Shunpoon a Q Bouncing Blades landed into a teamfight and instanly Flash out , while leaving a W Preparation on the ground.
As a result, you picked up the Q Bouncing Blades resetting your E Shunpo and you still have your W Preparation in the middle of the fight ready to be picked up!
In that way you can bait some CC/SET UP SOME DAMAGE on the first jump you make and then you can go back in on the W Preparation and START MAKING BLADES DANCE with Death Lotus
πΌπππ πππππππππ
Katarina's Shunpo can be used as an auto-reset.
We can maximixe our damage out-put by resetting our basics with Shunpo and taking off-guard enemy laners in the early schermishes
Auto-resettig is important in order to deal proper damage expecially in the laning-phase while we are playing with Conqueror
ππΌππ ππΌπ-πΎππππ ππππ
This is an insane combo , designed to take off-guard enemies when they are very low hps.
If done correctly you will give the enemy literally 0 reaction-time since is too fast to react.
The combo consists in using your Flash and instantly casting your Bouncing Blades , when the Bouncing Blades cast-animation is completed proceed to Shunpo + AUTO as fast as you can! I reccomend to try this combo in practice tool several times before using it in-game
πππππππΏππ πΌππΏ πππππππππΎπ
Knowing how to lane into all the matchups is exactly whay you need to make sure you will be able to have an IMPACT IN EVERY GAME YOU PLAY. Katarina is known for her weak laningphase , but if you wanna become a Katarina master you will have to adapt and manage to play around any matchup. You can check the champion threats , I explained overall how the matchups should be played (the hardest ones).
ππΌππ ππΌππΌππππππ
Do not push lane for no reason, further you are from your tower, easier is for enemy midlaner to freeze the wave and easier is for enemy jungler to kill you with ganks. Also most matchups you NEED TO NOT PUSH EARLY LEVELS to make sure you have SPACE TO ALL-IN level 3,For example: Kassadin, Zed, Qiyana, Yasuo
ππΌππ πππππππ
Having perfect CS on Katarina is almost impossible, the only way you will find yourself in a position where you can CS properly is when you already snowballed on enemy midlaner , and you are the one in control of the lane-state. In my experience IS NOT WORTH TO GET HARASSED FOR EARLY MINIONS, if you get outlaned before lv3 only to get a few CS more is absolutely not worth it. MOST OF THE TIMES IS BETTER TO GIVE UP CS BUT MAKE SURE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LANE PROPERLY AND DONT LOSE XP.For example: Orianna matchup , you just give up everything and you lasthit only what you can, if you manage to get lv3 with a good wave position you can easily all-in and solokill.
ππΌππ πππΌπΏπππ
Trading in the midlane is one of the most important things.
We wanna make sure we are trading properly in every matchup in order to pull off solokills or let our Jungle gank our lane. A good way to trade properly overall is with Q+E+W+E(OUT)//(IN) , consists in landing a Bouncing Blades on the ground , picking it up and instantly dropping your Preparation , this will result in an instant DOUBLE Voracity PICKUP giving us an INSTANT Shunpo RESET. We can either commit and prolong the trade or Shunpo on a minion behind us and take the trade
ππΌπ πΌππΌππππππ
Having a good map awareness is crucial in order to use our roaming potential.
We have to know what is happening is side-lanes and what summoner spells they used in order to ROAM OR Teleport on the sides and take free kills! Most of Katarina's Kills come from Jungle schermishes or side-lane kills so its important to have the habit to check sides or jungle with our cam view, and taking as much infos as possible on the current state of the game and learning how to use those informations for snowball games!
πππππ π― ππππ-πππππ
In a lot of matchups giving up early first waves CS its important. For example against Orianna , Viktor , Syndra , Yasuo you won't be able to get close to the minions and last-hit them unless they have no clue of what they are doing. Losing half-health for a couple of minions of the first wave is something we need to avoid. Taking that much damage will get us too low , waste sustain and make us unable to follow up early schermishes due to our low hps. Katarina doesn't have huge kill-pressure in laning-phase and most of her kills comes from sides / jungle schermishes, this is why is important to BE ALWAYS FULL-HEALTH IN LANE IF POSSIBLE in order to give us the possibility to get some kills in the early stages of the game! Also we will be able to take solokills from level 3 , so getting there full-hp while having all pots is a good way to get solokills in lane. Viktor and Orianna matchup for example are all about Katarina getting level 3 full-hp , from there you can perma all-in them if you manage the wave properly and open up solo-kill scenarios
πππΌππππ π½πΌπππΎπ
Ok, remember that waves crash in the middle of the lane every "":30 seconds , DO NOT ROAM WHEN ENEMY WAVES ARE CRASHING UNDER YOUR TOWER
There's a trick to SHOVE THE WAVE PROPERLY, you need to wait the wave to fix to a position, then place a Bouncing Blades + Preparation VoracityIN THE MIDDLE OF THE WAVES, picking them up will instantly oneshot the casters and if you have enough damage the meeles as well, resulting in a 0.5 sec total shove. You will be then ready to roam and put pressure on the map! This works best with AP-Builds.If you have Dark Seal + Amplifying Tome + Blasting WandYOU WIL BE ABLE TO INSTANLY SHOVE THE WAVE WITH THE TRICK I DESCRIBED UP THERE
A lot of Katarina players waste a LOT OF GOLD AND EXP foundamental in order to scale properly and snowball only becaouse they see a single kill on the map. A single kill is not worth, even if you get it, losing a whole wave is not worth 1 KILL , unless its a big shutdown of course.I cant find the exact numbers from this patch of A WHOLE WAVE OF MINION GOLD AND EXP I'll make sure to inform myself on the details and update this section.
For now all I can say is , when you are attempting a roam MAKES SURE YOU SHOVED YOUR WAVE UNDER ENEMY TOWER AND TRY TO COME BACK INTO YOUR LANE AT "":30/"":00 WHEN WAVES ARE CRASHING!(every 30 seconds) Also make sure you know the position of enemy jungler and you are aware of the position of your own jungler, I know there are a lot of factors to consider, but with time and practice all these details will become AUTOPILOTED.In my opinion when you AUTOPILOT and still manage to consider all these variations your skill level will increase exponencially!
Roaming doesn't mean we have to pull-off a sidelane gank every time MOST OF THE TIMES JUST LEAVING LANE AND PRETENDING TO ROAM GIVES YOUR SIDES ADVANTAGEyou can do that by just shoving the wave and sitting in a side-bush of the midlane if you already know there is nothing you can do on the map in that exact time, becaouse enemy midlane will ping you are missing, making enemy bot play safe and give space to your botlane if they are being pressured under tower, same goes for toplane pressure or jungle pressure. Also pretending to roam can be an easy fix for the lane if enemy mid is freezing it. Since you are faking a roam, the enemy mid will more likely shove the wave to potentially follow your roams.
πππΌπ πππππ ππππππππΌπ Katarina is known for her TEAMFIGHT POTENTIAL, thats why after laningphase and roaming, the TEAMFIGHT is the last but not least thing to focus on. Teamfighting as Katarina can be tricky, many meta champions have lots of stuns and crowd controls.
ππΌππππΌ πππΌππππππ ππππππππ BASED ON WHAT YOU ARE BUILDING YOUR PLAYSTYLE IN TEAMFIGHTS HAS TO BE ADAPTED.. Exactly, what you build, makes your champion A DIFFERENT CHAMPION. If we are talking about ONESHOT-BURST builds you will focus mostly on Bouncing Blades set on the ground in teamfights and you will Shunpo on them ONLY WHEN A SQUISHY CHAMP OR A PRIORITY TARGET IS IN RAGE OF IT. NEVER ENGAGE and NEVER COINFLIP FIGHTS, be aware of what cc's they have in their pockets and start projecting and immaginating what is going to happen when you pick up that Voracity. Knowing what spells they have to stop you and considering all of them allows you to be prepared and have BETTER REACTION TIME TO SKILLSHOTS AND CC'S.
π½ππππππ π½ππππΏπ πππΌππππππ
If we are playing instead on a BRUISER-LIKE BUILD where sustained damage is the foundament of the build, you will have to look for POKE Voracity , so daggers landed in positions that are not punishable but allow you to deal some damage before the teamfight and start stacking up your keystone/item passive (CONQ+RIFRMAKER+DEMONIC)
And you can also take a bit more risks since usually these builds allow you to build a lot of hps/resistances.
πΌππΌππππ πππ πππππΌππππ
Its important in every teamfight to analize the situation and predict what is going to happen before going in as Katarina
ππΌππ πππ ππππ πΌπ½ππππππ πΌππΏ πππΎπΌπππ
Make sure to wait out target CC's and Escapes of the enemy team for example Lissandra's Frozen Tomb or Malzahar's Nether Grasp
ππΌππππ πππππΎππππ
It's important to choose the best target to kill in the teamfight as Katarina expecially, if we don't get a reset in the first stages of a teamfight we will be completely useless during the rest of it. This is why is important to utilize our damage on the target that's easier to kill and has also some impact in the fight
πππππ ππ π½πΌπΎπ
Can be applicable to Katarina's Kit, we can throw a Bouncing Blades on the frontline and land the Voracity on the groud trying to reach the backline
π½πΌπΎπ ππ πππππ
One of the most common options, just ignore the frontline and rush for the high priority targets , its important to have a good positioning in the teamfight in order to flank properly the backline
ππππππππ ππΌπππππππ
If you can't kill or get a reset do not go in. Knowing your damage out-put is important. This is where experience and practice pays out, make sure that whenever you are going into a teamfight you are choosing an almost *100% resettable target*.
πππππππππππ
Positioning as Katarina is quite important. We have to make sure we are in a good spot to both join the fight easily and avoid getting instalocked from ccs or bursted down from high-damage spells. This is where movement speed is important.
Lately im running Relentless Hunter in the runes even when going Conqueror Relentless Hunter allows me to have higher movement speed while approaching a target and facilitates the flanking part of the teamfights. Its also easier to select the target thanks to the movement speed! And overall having that movement speed boost troughout the game will allow us to also get more side-lane farm and be always the highest level on the map!
