If u understand why Riot nerf Kata 's W by reducing the speed boost, u won't neva complain about her again lulz

And they also increase R damage by extend its duration a bit, 0.5s for 200 more dam I guess ?

Anw, most of people misunderstand that source damage of Kata is her ulti. Actually, it's her W. Spin around, and you will deal a signification damage to enemy. If you don't believe, try to match up against a fat kata at late, and take note the amount of dam in your death recap. W will be highest, then R.

A problem with most kata players now is they don't know what to build to fit the situation. Kata has a moderate skill dam compare to her short cd and reset cd, so you can build a tanky Kata like this

- Matchup against ap: Start with Beads + 5 pots + some wards, or 5 pots + 4 wards like tiensinoAkuma lulz, then upgrade your Q or W base on how MANY TIMES you can use W on them. You don't have to harrass them unless you can farm very well. 1st b, buy a hexdrinker then lulz, E then W + Q + hit. Kata hits really hard u know :3

Full set will be: MoM, Randuin, Merc Treads (or Tabi), Rylai, Liandry, GA or Hourglass or Banshee or even Hextech, w/e. Mostly you will end the game when you have MoM and Randuin or Sunfire, because she will fall off hard at late game.

But if you fat like a joke, then build glass canon ap and bam in their face pls :3

- Against AD: Start with doran shield or cloth + pot, then max your Q and bam in their face. You will out sustains them definitely, exchange of losing some cs. At lv 3, call your faking jungle then gangbang the ADC pls lulz. 1st item will be +45 armor or warden mail if you can, then rush Sunfire/Randuin as quick as you can. Do you see any AD early can win a bruiser ?

After randuin, look at full set above
