Katarina Matchup Guide (Some champs outdated as of now, will try to update soon) Note: When I say to all-in, this is disregarding junglers. Always note where the junglers are before going for a trade or an all-in. This guide is about mostly laning phase. Lvl 3 Trades: I will usually be referring to two types of level three trades: ● Lvl 3 safe poke: Q (usually off of a minion) + e + auto + w back, if they follow, you can e back in on your w ● Lvl 3 all-in: E + w + q + auto + e + auto + (e + auto) or (e out) - First e can be on a minion ○ A variation would be to q + e + auto + e + w + auto + e +auto Unless stated otherwise, you can always go for a safe poke lvl 3 trade. Lvl 6 All-In: The standard lvl 6 all-ins are e + w + q + gunblade + r + e + auto or e + w + gunblade + r + q + e + auto. I personally almost exclusively do the first but the second can be better situationally. Ability Maxing: I always do three points q, three points e, then max q > e > r > w. Q max is better overall, but I will put points into e before q sometimes if I know I am going to all in early. Keystones: This guide was made with electrocute in mind. I have started to use conqueror in certain matchups, but remember that you can always use either keystone, just each has different playstyles. (Dark harvest is viable too, with the goal to scale into an easy matchup and play for resets rather than single target burst.) In general, you choose Electrocute in order to snowball and conqueror to scale. Conqueror is a rune that is always good and will always scale. It makes longer trades more effective as well as making your ult more useful with 5 stacks. However, electrocute is really useful in getting and early snowball and in blowing up squishier. Additionally, it is the reason why lvl 3 safe pokes are so effective but with conqueror, the damage is far less without that proc. Additionally, if you are teamfighting, with electrocute you normally want to get on the back line and blow up them with electrocute so you can get that first reset and go crazy. With conqueror, you can play fights front to back, stacking up conqueror so you can then become unkillable when diving. When going conqueror, you want to build deaths dance second so you can become unkillable. If you know you want to build zhonya’s second item, opt for electrocute. Favorite Matchups: Corki, Karthus, Malzahar Least Favorite Matchups: Ekko, Leblanc, Kassadin, Jayce Aatrox | Preferred Keystone: Elec/Conq He has three predictable q’s, you have three potential blinks. Free matchup if you just dodge his q’s. Ahri/Anivia/Lux/Morgana/Taliyah/Xerath/Zoe | Preferred Keystone: Elec/Conq Though there are some differences in the matchups, I’m grouping these five together because the win condition in these is all the same: Dodge the cc ability Lvl 1: Try to avoid poke, lose farm if you need to Lvl 2: You can go for a q + e + auto + if they used or didn’t level their cc ability. Lvl 3-5: Here, you can go for an all-in starting with e. The way I go about all in’s vs these champions is e + w + move to the side/behind them, then q + e + auto + auto + e + auto + ignite + kill. Almost always, they will throw their cc in front of them but you can usually dodge it this way with the w movement speed (easiest with zoe/morg because cast time, hardest with anivia because her q has a large hitbox and taliyah because quick cast time). Make sure to pick up dagger so that you still get dmg. Lvl 6: Besides ahri (she can ult away), you win the lvl 6 all-in if they’ve used their cc ability. Morg may ult + stopwatch but you can just e back out to avoid the second part of dmg. Note: Don’t forget about anivia passive. Once she hits 6, she will also just perma shove lane. Out of all the champs here, trying to go for a lvl 6 all-in is a lot more dangerous against her. Akali | Preferred Keystone: Electrocute Lvl 1: Her lvl 1 dmg and ms is absurd, mostly try to cs with q Lvl 2: A q + e + auto combo will beat her q + empowered auto. If she gets w second, you’ll win trade, but going for the shunpo is dangerous if she shrouds before you e in. if she starts e and hits it, she’ll win the trade hard. Lvl 3-5: It’s hard to all in her pre-6 due to her shroud. Stick to lvl 3 safe pokes, but shunpo’ing is still dangerous if she shrouds before you e in. Lvl 6: At this point, you can do a lvl 6 all-in because your ult hits her in your shroud, but you need to play around her ult because the first part of it will cancel your ult. If she hasn’t used the first part of her ult, don’t go for an all-in. Annie | Preferred Keystone: Electrocute I always start long sword + 3 pot, but for safety you can go dorans shield sometimes for her q poke. This matchup comes to playing around her stun. If she uses her stun on a minion from lvl 3-5, it is safe to go for a lvl 3 all-in. Hexdrinker is also a viable buy in this matchup because she is an example of a champ who can one shot without counterplay. Unless you’re ahead, I’d almost say this buy is a must post 6. Aurelion Sol | Preferred Keystone: Electrocute Aurelion sol really has no kill pressure on you. You can e on him making it so none of his starts hit you. The only problems with aurelion sol is he is insanely fast so it may be hard to hit your daggers, so buying cutlass before AP is a viable option. If he hits his q, (which he shouldn’t really because of your shunpo), you can just shunpo out and he has no more follow up options. Azir | Preferred Keystone: Conqueror This champion has insane poke so you really need to play back the early levels. Lvl 3, if he uses his q it will have a 15 sec cooldown so you can go for a lvl 3 all-in while his daggers aren’t on top of him. Play around his cooldowns and be careful of his ult as it will cancel yours. Cassioepia | Preferred Keystone: Electrocute Lvl 1: Focus on dodging q, lose cs if you have to. Lvl 2: Even q + e + auto is extremely dangerous here because if she hits her q now, she will spam e and run you down. Lvl 3-5: Beware of her w, as it cucks your e. Without it, a lvl 3 all-in is rather safe but since they usually run phase rush, if she hits her q, you won’t be able to hit every single dagger on her. Going cutlass first before ap is viable. Lvl 6: Honestly, I still don’t 100% understand the interaction between kat and cass ult but I believe it’s dependent on which way you were staring before you press r. A lvl 6 all-in will 100-0 Cass with gunblade slow, but make sure you’re not staring at her before you press r. Corki | Preferred Keystone: Conqueror Corki is a pretty oppressive laner, try not to take too much poke early, and play around his cooldowns. Without his w, he’s pretty vulnerable. Lvl 6, the first lvl 6 all-in is safe even with w because the q will follow his w (random note: same with ezreal e). Do note however, if the corki is good, he will not w directly away from you but wait for the q to hit and then w to the side to get out of your ult. Many players aren’t this good (I’ve only seen two ezreals ever do this in diamond) but they can outplay you this way. Diana | Preferred Keystone: Conqueror This matchup is more dependent on the diana. At no point in the game do you really beat her, but you can abuse the cooldown of her w if she uses it in lane. Dodging q is also really important (more so post 6) because it greatly lowers her dmg output. Ekko | Preferred Keystone: Elec/Conq Your two goals in this matchup are not letting him get his passive off and not getting stunned. If he misses both parts of his q, you will hard win any trade lvl 3. If he misses uploads/Finance/ katarina-matchup-guide.pdf
