@Odaswifteye she was annoying for me about 6-8 months ago when the tank meta hadn't come in yet and assassins were still all over the place. Needless to say, I still see her time to time in my games, but I have been able to do with her very easily. Since I very rarely do ranked, I only play normals. Fron what I see in my normal games, the players are almost always at a plat-diamond level even knowing in gold, it allows me to have a good time practicing against some difficult opponents.

@EsperElliot Yeah, pretty much. A silence or stun is good way to just destroy her. The meta changing was definitely a big contribution to making her easier to deal with.

@Krufix Jungling against her is probably something I will never do again. Im not the best jungler and only play assassin junglers (Rengar, Khazix or Yi) so dealing with her is not easy until late game. Although my team always has like some amazing Katarina awareness like I have never seen before. As soon as Kat jumps into a fight they use there saved cc to demolish her.

@Einsoph5 Ah yes, I will never forget the good ol days I was in bronze. I banned Katarina every time I was banning because I knew that my team would fail against her. Bronze was like the funniest time for me, I always laughed at the plays everyone did. When I finally got to silver, I was hoping people would have an easier time against her, but nope, when I didn't ban her she just destroyed our mid. When I finally reached gold and haven't played ranked ever since reaching gold, it seemed as though the players were much better then you would normally expect.

Now that in playing normal games, I see some interesting stuff. Like when your mid is silver and the enemy mid lane is diamond 1. I rarely see something like tank Katarina, but I have seen it before. It isn't that bad to be honest and should be done more. It has ridiculous amounts of dps yet insane amounts of tankiness surprisingly.

I guess Katarina and Akali laning phase is quite similar from what I see. There teamfight is a bit different, but its still is similar in the fact that they will both only go in when they have the opportunity or when each team is fully committed.
