I think Kat is probably viable at the higher levels, but it's not in a carrying capacity. I played against a Kat that went 5-0 in the first 10 minutes in a practice game... yesterday, I think? And I was solo mid Zilean that was 0-0. And I was going DPS. The clash of the titans. Who won? DPS Zilean, without even using ult. Carry Katarina wut. The obvious problem with Kat is that even at our Elo she'll pretty much never get her ult off for any decent period of time. Without her ult her damage output stinks. And without her damage output she's absolutely junk, except for some irritating harass at the onset; she has an AoE anti-heal, an escape mechanism, and little else. At low Elos when everyone's spamming crap like Mundo, Trynd and Yi (ie. no disable) or people panic and run as soon as Kat shows up, you can output hefty damage. At middle Elos when you keep running into teams with like 5+ disables, you're not going to do jack. If you want a pointblank AoE spelldamage hero you're better off playing either Karthus (who's gotten crazy annoying with Zhonya) or Fiddle. Also with those two you won't have random targeting, targeting limits, nor the issue of being disabled during ult and being useless for the next minute. Not to mention Kat's damage output isn't even that high ;/ Ooh gimped hero. I CANT USE HER THEN NOBODY CAN. Really, I was laning with a really good morgana and even though we got FB'd we pwn em 4-0 afterwards

149-141 is not a 55-60 percent winrate. not to mention the low amount of games you have
P.S. Eve is on the other team.
ok i saw his edit, hes trolling disregard.

Depends on the lanes ;p I see some pretty aggressive combat in lanes a lot of times, when both lanes feel they can kill the other. And I'm talking about 5v5 premade which leads to vs top-200-300s (top 100s in the December list, I'm gonna give benefit of the doubt and assume they're still somewhere in the top 300). Definitely don't see chain killing happening though; if someone dies they usually play as safe as possible, at the expense of gold/exp.
Edit: Hey, hey, Eve is decent at that Elo bracket, I think. :p Especially when stuck with lots of solo queue - no one wants to buy Oracle, and no one buys Wards.

im having fun with gangplank and crit dmg runes lol

Gangplank and his ability to starve (via Morale) is pretty nasty o/

What happened to Twitch? Haven't seen him at all, does anyone still even play him?

Is there a list of unviable at higher ELO. Seems pretty interesting =o

I don't think he's unviable, but he requires a team that has a good number of disables to keep certain characters off of him. You also have to be aware that his invisibility isn't going to help much - but his ult is still one of the most gamebreaking.

Kat needs an ungodly amount of gold advantage to wreak havoc, because she needs ridiculous damage output in 0.5-1 second in most fights. And when a team fight breaks out at like level 8-9, when all you have is like (shit) this. that's why when i go kat i run 9/21/0 with ignite/heal to just dominate low lvl laning as much as possible. it's getting harder as i keep going up the elo ladder as players who understand that relinquishing a wave or two is better then dying become more common. but if you get an advantage (like lvl 1 or 2 kill) its very easy to keep the opponent solo mid cs under 20 for the longest time.
and you want to go AD whenever possible because of the midgame advantage. only problem is that its just not possible 95% of the time.

it seems your sarcasm detector has gone askew
Ive been having fun playing Kennen. Yea I don't think he's anywhere near top tier, but he's still fun to play. Nothing like flash, E, R, W to get those who think they've gotten away :D
Mogwai, try building him 9/21/0 with the magic pent at offense. Rune up Magic Pent, Dodge, CD, whatever Quint you prefer.
I go Ruby Crystal at start. Get Q,W,E, then focus on maxing out W. You shouldn't be outharassed and I'm usually able to finish haunting guise with my first trip back and boots 1. Build looks like this.
Ruby Crystal into Haunting Guise. Sorc Boots Giant's belt into Rylais
Game should be around over. If not, I see if I need more health. If so, I might get a Sunfire cape If not, get a Zhonyah's or something

lol jax is gamebreaking

When I was watching TakashiX last night, the two champs he played were Twitch and Kat. So "not viable in our ELO bracket" elitists can be safely ignored.
On another note: why do people suddenly buy haunting guise? What am I missing? If a good nuker blows all their skills, they're lucky to do 2K damage (Annie with 400 AP, for example, will NOT do 2k). This translates to, at a maximum, 200 life regened. Is the theory that this allows nukers to leave battle and heal by farming? Maybe I just haven't seen the thing used correctly...

it doesnt matter what ELO you are in. you dont even know what is your elo anyways and probably dont even know how much ELO you are gaining and losing. doesnt matter what your win/lose is. its funny how you guys wanna talk about "viable in our ELO bracket".
wait for draft mode and then we talk about e-penis

wait for draft mode and then we talk about e-penis I can't tell if you're trolling or just plain stupid. You don't know your ELO bracket unless you go to the mIRC channel and ask for it, or you can just estimate it by playing games with people who are known top 500 players. Also you should assume that you need around 300+ wins with a 60% winrate to be in the "high ELO" bracket. 200+ with 60% or 300+ with 50-55% gets you into the "good ELO" bracket and anything under that is "Feeders and noobs".
For example, I know that you're in the "feeders and noobs" bracket by how you talk about how win/loss doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter, you still have under 200 wins, you're not even playing good players yet.
