Cho'Gath
Oh god. Dont get me started on Cho Gath. If you dont kill him early, your lane will be a nightmare, because he will just become way too tricky to kill, and his ult was made for squishes like you.

INNATE: Katarina reduces the cool down on all of her abilities by 15 seconds whenever an enemy champion dies within 3 seconds of being damaged by her. DAGGERS: Whenever Katarina catches a Dagger or picks it up from the ground, she uses it to slash through all nearby enemies, dealing magic damage and reducing Shunpo’s cooldown Daggers last 4 seconds before disappearing. MAGIC DAMAGE:75 - 285 (based on level) (+ 100% bonus AD) (+ 55 / 70 / 85 / 100% AP) COOLDOWN REDUCTION: 78 / 84 / 90 / 96%, at levels 1, 6, 11, and 16 My thoughts:

Bouncing Blades (Q)
|
space |
ACTIVE: Katarina throws a Dagger to the target enemy that bounces to up to 2 nearby unaffected enemies, dealing magic damage to each target. After bouncing to its targets, the Dagger then lands on the ground opposite from where it struck the first target. The Dagger always takes the same amount of time to land from the time it hits the first target. MAGIC DAMAGE: 75 / 105 / 135 / 165 / 195 (+ 30% AP). My thoughts:

Shunpo (E)

spacee |
ACTIVE: Katarina blinks to the target location around the target unit or Dagger. If the target is an enemy, Katarina deals them magic damage. Otherwise, she deals the same magic damage to the nearest enemy in range. MAGIC DAMAGE: 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 / 90 (+ 25% AP) (+ 65% AD) My thoughts:

Death Lotus (R)
|
spaceee |
ACTIVE: Katarina rapidly spins in place and channels for 2.5 seconds, throwing a dagger every 0.166 seconds to each nearby enemy champion, up to a maximum of 3 at a time, dealing them magic damage and applying Grievous Wounds icon Grievous Wounds for 3 seconds. Death Lotus cannot be cancelled by movement and basic attack commands in the first and last 0.25 seconds of channeling. MAGIC DAMAGE PER DAGGER: 25 / 37.5 / 50 (+ 20% AP) (+ 22% bonus AD) My thoughts:
