Building revolver in Kat early or mid game is extremely dumb. The sustain she will gain will be worthless, she just need to rush MPen and then AP. Her sustain is killing the enemy before they kill her.

So maybe a fast Haunting Guise? I just bought her as well, I'm wondering what good opening builds are.

Either Guise + Sorcs, Kage's into fast DFG, or DShield (if needed) into Deathcap.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I used to max Q first but I think maxing W first really helps trading and wave clearing. gotta try that now. I still don't feel comfortable at not picking Q first. I really miss the poke and csing with Q, so I guess I'll stick to Q first.


I am pretty sure either maxing Q or W is fine. Tiensi prefers to max Q, while some other players I've seen (scarra and westdoor) like to max W. There are obvious pros and cons for both choices.

Why 9/21/0 as opposed to 21/9/0?

The Kats in the SM series tournament have been building Abyssal after sorcs+HG. Definitely not a bad option...

The extra farm you can get thanks to 9/21/0 (and often defensive runes too) leads to more damage than 21 offense could provide you with. It also provides you with some necessesary burst protection which you would otherwise have to buy with gold.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I guess that will be pretty popular post DFG nerf.

SorcBoots>HG>Abyssal is a good build on Kat.

Currently I prefer the SorcBoots>lucky pick>deathcap>DFG

I don't recommend dorans shield unless you're struggling against physical damage. Against castors i just buy extra pots. I also much prefer the safety of farming with Q during those early levels, using W just to proc the Q mark and saving E for my "get out of jail free card".

An omen wouldn't be that bad for kat. Sunpo in and initiate like crazy with the large aoe slow hitting almost all of them and then her w ult combo doing a ton of damage.

If you want the slow, get Rylais then...

You don't want rylais on Kat. You don't want to slow them, you want to kill them, proc her passive and kill again. Most of kat's spells are AoE so you dont get much of a slow. You are better off getting MS quints (I always use these on Kat) to keep up with them.

Been doing 21/9/0 on kat during my elo jobs for people (3+ accounts from 1200-1500, 1 account from 1200-1850 in 20 games)

Red : Mpen
Yellow : armor vs heavy physical ganknig junglers or Hp/lvl just because
Blue : Flat MR
Quint : MS quints

I've been going kages >>> Revolver >>> sorc boots >>> DFG/Aby

And yes your lvl 1-5 is PRETTY BAD, but you can fix it by missing a few cs here and there because you need to make sure you always have something to shumpo towards in case certain this get sticky.

QEWQQR.

I really like revolver because I end up taking wraith and wolf camps start from after my first shop and beyond. the spell vamp helps a ton since you can just spam all your shit and make the enemy back.
