Sure, if you lane against a top level pro mid laner you will look bad.

Sigh. With Diana gibbed, I need a new counterpick against Katarina. After playing the match up quite a few times on both sides, I feel that Mordekaiser is a bit too unreliable as a counterpick. Probably need to seriously start practicing Ahri/Swain.

Btw, Rapidstar is playing Noc mid on OGN right now.

Ahri loses to Kat every time. Dunno bout Swain. Cho'Gath mid beats all assassins, AD or AP.

I've had some success against Kat as Annie. Always pressure with the fear of the stun, decent auto attack range too. Relatively good push to punish her if she feels like roaming more than you.

I tried it before. It's absolutely terrible.

If you have stun up, Kat can just poke you. If you don't have stun up, Kat can do free EQW (R) combo.

But just in case maybe I will ask for damionwings' opinion on this.

Perhaps. I probably need to try the Ahri vs Kat match up a bit more. My understanding is that it's not that bad if Ahri maxes W first. I could be terribly wrong.

Chogath should absolutely crush Katarina in lane, but I find it a bit too cheesy.

The other choices I am considering are Akali and Rumble. Akali should crush Katarina post-6, but I am not sure if I enjoy playing Akali at all. I theorycraft that mid Rumble should out-trade Katarina really hard... but I need to actually try to play the match up. I will know in time.

Swain beats her pretty hard, even had one go all in on me at 6 earlier, bird power so strong. also spamming e + auto attacks during entire lane phase pretty good. she cant shunpo to you or she eats a full Q on top of an e + auto attack spam.

pretty firm in swains favor imo

That pretty much sums up playing against her on any champion. Annie just has the upside of having the damage interrupt with a good possibility of winning a 1v1. I guess to be really annoying and shut her down more in lane, you could just Fiddlesticks.

Yeah I know for a fact that I can outplay Annies around my level as Katarina. It's actually not that hard. Just need to max Q first. Btw, Katarina's Q actually outrange Annie's Q by 50.

Tiensinoakuma's guide actually suggests Soraka as a possible counter (http://www.lolpro.com/guides/katarina/132-katarina-build-guide-mid-lane-by-tiensinoakuma). Interesting.... something else to try!

I've usually found Malz does really well against Kat. Outpush her all day or harrass if she goes to cs, and once both of you have ult she has to be very careful about just getting in range of you.

I am familiar with this match up from Katarina's side and I agree he counters Katarina pretty hard. Unfortunately I don't even have Malzahar..... also my understanding is that he is actually pretty tricky to learn and play.

malzahar is like the easiest champ you spam e and WR ppl who try to hard engage you

its especially easy since they fixed the w cast so you can actually WR instantly now.

Truth be told my lasthitting with Swain is so bad it's downright embarrassing. A lot of practice will be needed.

I'd imagine Cassie could at least break even with Kat.

Also, Viktor wrecks Kat AMA

I am not brave enough to play Cassiopeia vs Katarina T_T way too many opportunities for a Katarina to outplay me if I play Cassiopeia. Katarina has an instant gapcloser AND a large MS steroid.

I wouldn't consider AP Cho'Gath cheesy. It definitely isn't as common as tank'gath but the ratio's and utility are there.
