Rip old katarina, I will remember you

[enzoys]

I love this narration... This feels so much more genuine

[theodorwilliam]

…still disappointed that her skin is called, "Kitty Cat Katarina" instead of "Kittyrina"

[ritoplazompi]

Hi future people, this recommendation is for you

[AendM]

I miss these sounds, especially the one on Q so so much :(

[counterstrike]

this version of Kat was the best champion Riot made, had so much fun playing her

[wookie]

I love how Youtube randomly recommends me old champion spotlights, brings back the good times. Thanks Youtube algorithm.

tbh I can understand why people think shes op, she can essentially ult twice in teamfights. The way to beat her is to completely shut her down early game. She has so many counters in lane its not even funny, abuse that. all it takes is one good team fight for her to come back into the game. If you know what you're doing you can easily win against her. I main her so I know when to jump in or not, her ult is to do the most damage and then set up her passive where she continuously jumps on the rest of the team. No need to nerf her, they've already done that multiple times. They just buffed her ult, cc her while she does that and she won't do much in teamfights

I started playing Katarina because I was tired of getting wrecked everytime she was picked back in 2013/14. 10 years later and we earned, literally, millions of points together. Low elo but having so much fun with the blades. Her rework was awesome as well and have us feel pride, far more rewarding than early days flash + R combo.

As Katarina main from S2, I will miss this, but I gotta admit - she was boring and succeeding with her wasn't making you feel unique or rewarded. The new Kat is kinda the same but in the same time feels more rewarding, tricky and stimulating to master her once again. R.I.P Kat 2010 - 2012 ; R.I.P Kat 2012 - 2016. Welcome again Katarina !

Katarina was probably the best purchase I have ever made in LoL. She got me my first penta and in s4 I've been having massive success with the DFG build Scarra uses a lot. She is relatively easy to play, but really mastering her and knowing how to carry teamfights takes a lot of practise. I definetely recommend her to people who want to try a flashy, high speed assassin! And as CouilleBleu (AKA xChinNin) would say: 'Great success!'

Throwback to when you would make a second account just to burst some ppl with kata

[lucaslavayen]

Katarina was my first main champion when I was a noob in 2013, I remember Scarra saying that she was his favorite champion at that moment... Then the rework comes and she died... Yeah, now you can use her and get a few kills but, the actual kata isn't even the shadow of the old... Forever in my heart old kata ♥️... (I really miss this old days when league was more fun)...

Oh hey i really needed this guide, this really improved my gameplay. Thank you youtube.

One of the summoner spells, i believe it was unlocked at summoner lv12.
Teleports you a few yards to the direction of your cursor; can be used to cross terrain. Excellent as a gap closer or helping you escape.

[lapusanmirel]

YouTube: So I see you playing Katarina lately...
Me: Well yea I do... Wait how do you know that ... ?
Youtube: Shhhh... here you go, a 6 year old katarina video
Me: Hmm, ok.

[danhandan]

Hi i know this is alot to ask but id like if most of the champion spotlights be updated as alot of new updates have upcome.

[UltimatePrinceofBB]

I mastered Katarina and used to main her. For me the best skill sequencing is maxing Sinister Steel first for minion kills and best finishing move then Bouncing Blade for harrassing and dealing more additional magic damage and lastly Shunpo for escape and closing the gap purposes only. Everytime I do that skill sequence, i get triple-quadra kills everytime in pvp. That's all, just sharing my knowledge and experience :) GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

Thank you youtube for recommending this video 6 years after
