Playing against Katarina
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
Save a CC to interrupt her R (Death Lotus) — she's very vulnerable during the channel.
2
Avoid daggers on the ground: don't walk over them and stay away from where they land.
3
Katarina is weak before level 6 and in short trades without her daggers — punish her early.
4
Buy MR: her damage is almost 100% magic, even in on-hit builds.
