Talk:Karthus/@comment-24967087-20140613203629

I just played a Ranked game, was stuck with mid position and opponent had already picked Veigar, I nervously picked Karthus (The only mage I feel comfortable with at the moment) and thought I was going to be destroyed in lane.

By farming from max Q range and always walling after he cast his stun (I never got hit by his stun) I managed to trade kills twice (Both of us dying) I managed to farm super well and buy HP, MR and AP for the lategame (Rod of Ages, Morellonomicon, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Sorcerer Boots, Spirit Visage and Haunting Guise). Veigar ended 10/8/2 because he kept bursting down our squishy Kha Zix and I ended 10 / 2 / 18 (I Q'd from afar and then W'd once the teamfight had started and everyone had dived in).

I feel so good about myself right now, I managed to defeat a champion I feel is very strong :)

Guess it is true that building survivability against burst mages is the way to go (Although I dodged all of Veigar's stuns the whole game).

Karthus is such a good siege mage (Can kill teams), while Veigar feels more like an assassin (He has trouble killing more than a couple of targets).

I love Karthus so much D;
