I lolking'd you, and you're unranked and this was a normal game. You can literally play anything in low elo and get those stats. Pubstompers work better and better the lower MMR the games are at, and that's what Kat is - a pubstomper. She's like Akali and Kha'Zix - she punishes mistakes. Mistakes are more common the lower MMR you are.

That is fine and how things are supposed to work. Different elos have different champions that give people trouble. Zed may do nothing in a bronze/silver game, but I would NOT want to go against Azoh or Bjergsen on Zed, players who can use an insanely high skill cap champion to its greatest effectiveness.

Katarina is gated by a garbage laning phase, which people exploit as you face better and better players. Keep in mind I'm anything but high elo, but Katarina can have stomp-y games (http://matchhistory.lan.leagueoflegends.com/es/#match-details/LA1/128093187/202572405?tab=overview) and that's fine. Any Orianna that dies 1v1 to an untouched mid lane to a Katarina at 6 minutes deserves to lose. She has a hard time solo carrying a game when nobody does any damage, and if picked too early in a game any smart team will just overload on CC and make her worthless. (http://matchhistory.lan.leagueoflegends.com/es/#match-details/LA1/129714829/202572405?tab=overview) That last match was actually my first failed Plat promo match, and that was the 5th game. Even if you get really fed, if you're against halfway decent players you find it extremely hard to finish. (http://matchhistory.lan.leagueoflegends.com/es/#match-details/LA1/127819941/202572405?tab=overview) You do next to no damage to objectives or towers, and only excel at teamfighting. Your solo pick potential is garbage unless massively fed, and even then it's a stupid risk that could throw the game. She's an extremely high risk/high reward assassin. She needs to get into melee range to do anything, and is one of the squishiest champions in the game. If you remove the 'high reward' from the equation she just becomes completely worthless.
