Talk:Katarina/@comment-4530717-20121113130534

And the 11 year olds start to complain because they don't know how useful magic resistance and CC is when countering her...

Here are solutions to help you play against her:

1) If you're stupid enough to get summoner heal in the name of baiting a Katarina(actually... anyone for that matter), you deserve to get killed because it's a mindless strategy that hardly ever works. Get exhaust instead.

2) Don't expect that you can exchange with her and causually walk away if you have no CC or magic resistance, you probably won't even be alive to walk away.

3) Caution prevents her from getting kills.

4) CC destroys her.

5) Be like a Morgana when laning against her, stay at your turret and farm like hell using a characters who can do so such as Cassiopeia, Orianna, Gragas etc. She won't get those early kills that will help her get the items soon enough to kill even more.

6) Kassadin... if he's not banned.

7) Call for ganks when she pushes.

8) Space out during team fights, not a lot but enough to ensure that your whole team doesn't feel her wrath.

However if you are at 1800 ELO and you see a Katarina... uhh, she does have the potential to wipe out your whole team in a matter of seconds, but you need to have perfect timing with her. I learned that the hard way in custom games. I don't find her OP at all, though. Seriously, assassins are meant to be able to pop out of nowhere and kill you with hardly any effort, that's just her role. These nerfs are nothing, Riot just did it to cut down the amount of whining children.
