Talk:Katarina/@comment-25478119-20141025133646

Okay, tell me this isn't just me - I've seen Katarina picked in almost 3/4 of the games I've played on Hexakill TT.

What is it about this mode that makes her so strong and popular? Or am I just getting matched against bronze MMR players? Is it the lack of wards and constant vision? Is it the addition of six players on an already small map compared to SR? Is it itemization? Farm distribution?

And I swear, almost all of these Katarinas are building Liandry's Torment and Hextech Gunblade. I ask myself - why? Katarina's ultimate does not apply the tick of Liandry's for all 10 daggers of her ult on a champion. It only reapplies the first. Hextech Gunblade is massively expensive. You'd be better off going Will of the Ancients if you want sustain and Rylai's or Twin Shadows if you want the slow. And yet I see 99.9% of these Kats snowballing off one kill and getting 20-30 kills. If this means that Liandry's and Gunblade are actually decent items on Katarina, then this means every guide I've read from every pro player means nothing and I've been listening to lies my whole LoL life....
