It doesnt "win games" as much as it gives your team an insanely huge advantage. That, however, is not up for debate, its numerical fact. Also, mistakes are made at the highest levels. Mistakes like not CCing Katarina when you have the chance. Because of that, you do see Katarinas, who thrive on this mistakes, in master+.

The better question is, if your team can reliably CC Katarina and as such always gain an advantage, then Katarina shouldnt be played in such a scenario, right? The answer is, of course, absolutely correct. And its the reason why Katarina is one of the few champions who has not been picked or banned for a very long time.

In fact, if we ignore the trollsy pick by a team that knew they would beat the enemy team in WCS, and similiar cases in other tournaments, today its been over 1 year and 3 months since the last time Katarina was picked seriously in Competitive. She is one of the VERY few champions who have such a sad record. Only the likes of Poppy were picked less. So yes, indeed, if Katarina is so easy to shut down, and leads to a team having a consistent disadvantage, you would expect her to almost be nonexistant in competitive. And such is the case.

Also, YPN, much like Roz, just because you dont want to accept that CC is the answer, doesnt change the fact that it IS the answer. If you CC Katarina you shut her down. No debate possible, its numerical fact.
