mmm I've usually only gone into a fight if I saw a kill/reset.

Doesn't Luden's Echo do/give more damage midgame compared to Rabadon's? Cuz Katarina has pretty crappy scalings.

Hourglass & Deathcap

120 AP + 120 AP = 240 AP

240 AP x 30% = 72 AP

72 AP on 5 Q hits + 5 Q marks + 5 people hit with W + E + 250% scaling on ult x 3

Hourglass & Luden's

120 AP + 120 AP = 240 AP

240 AP x 15% = 36

36 +100 damage (Luden's base damage) = 136 damage

But Luden's hits 4 targets, so assuming 4 champs are hit, that's like 500 damage

I dunno how you wanna weigh these numbers. I didn't account for masteries, runes, dragon buff. Anyway I was always taught that Katarina shouldn't build Rabadon's until after a couple AP items so that the extra 30% becomes more significant.
