Oscillation, nobody wants to hear you refer to them as "whining children". Kassadin isn't a great counter to Katarina because Kat outranges his silence, so it won't actually stop Kat from doing anything besides the occasional W and maybe prolong the use of her ult (which isn't a great idea unless you're OOM or she hits 6 first)

Spacing out a lot actually has two effects: 1, it makes her AoE harder to land. 2, it lets her continue her rampage by killing isolated targets one by one since no one can focus her.

If you sit under your turret vs Kat, then you'll just end up with a bad CS and she'll stomp you, more often than not. Playing Kat means you have the POTENTIAL to snag kills, but it's not a MUST HAVE! Evelynn shares this trait as well, as her Hate Spike lets her farm better than most mids due to its instant AoE last hitting powahz.

CC takes out any squishy melee, but Kat isn't that squishy thanks to Shunpo.

DON'T EXCHANGE WITH KAT? Are you... insane? Many other champions have larger ranges and better sustain than Katarina has! Ahri's passive lets her harass with Orb of Deception and heal back what Kat deals to her. Morgana has Spell Vamp and a Shield, Cass just has superior damage, Gragas has utility as well, and a dmg reducer. Saying "don't trade with Kat" is simply stupid. Yes, Kat is manaless, so you should watch your mana bar, but letting Kat win the lane via passivity will NOT help you, as she then gets to roam and gank and get fed, which is what you WANT TO PREVENT! Mid lane isn't BOT LANE, you roam and kill people and make aggressive plays!
