Against smart teams, this is what usually happens if you use kat:

1. Enemy team, if they are serious and not just playing for fun, will use a serious mid laner, all of which can destroy kat in lane.

2. If kat can't lane properly, she is forced to gank. Good enemy teams will know to call MIA ASAP and have the lanes warded against ganks. This makes your gank less effective. All the while you are losing gold because you cannot hold your lane.

This leads you underfarmed and underpowered. Kat needs to snowball to be effective, which is really tough because her early game isn't that hot.

During those times that Kat is able to get some early kills and actually be one of the stronger heroes in the game, a good team will always designate ONE person with CC to save his skill only for kat. It's pretty stupid for a team to blow all their CC's knowing that the opponent's kat is strong.

Your only hope is to have your team be competent enough to deal heavy damage so that you can spam your shunpo + BB, meaning you are just being carried by your team, instead of the OTHER WAY AROUND since you are the solo AP carry mid.
