Talk:Katarina/@comment-29174365-20160720054146

I would like to say this: Katarina can be extremely powerful in the right hands. Usually, IF someone is good with her, they can get Kat to snowball out of control by 20-30 minutes into the game. With the right items, she shreds through tanks (which is what I main) in a few seconds. In regards to the concerns with her low damage. She is designed to use her q to pop a high amount of damage in an area or against a single target. Complaints about her AOE abilities? Zed's W is AOE, and hits hard without procing anything. Her W hits hard with a proc. Khazix - His E (I think that is the one where he shoots the spikes out) when evolved (imo) is an AOE that is low damage but has utility uses (heal). Rengar - W is an AOE ability, fairly low damage and utility (heal; with rylais it slows). From what I can remember, a lot of the Assassin champs have AOE that don't hit extremely hard unless built perfectly.

That being said, I play her for fun (usually only in a custom because I'm killing time). I am by NO means an assassin player, preferring to be able to take a little bit of damage before killing over... (ie: Taking 4k damage in a team fight and hoping my carries are doing their job (tends to not happen unless I am playing with friends)). In closing - ANY champion can be OP as heck if they are fed. Katarina almost requires to be fed to be effective, but if a smart team realizes this and tries to give a good Kat player kills... well in that case I fell VERY SORRY for their enemies.
