because I feel katarina is a Hit and Run champion, not an auto attacker. So the AD is no that effective on her for me, a BF sword costs 1650 and gives you 50 AD. With 1600 you can get a needlessly and get 80 AP. Your shumpo has no AP ratios, and zonyas/ rylais / abyssal they all provide you what you need. If you go AD you will need armor penetration too (for your auto attacks) but your spells deal magic damage. And finally lifesteal/ crit chance/ attack speed all those things I feel are worthless on katarina, but you cant get a 100% pure item with only AD and no crit/lifesteal/attackspeed boost.

Thats why I dont go AD katarina, but yes, her damage with AD is pretty good.
