I just tried going reginald's build which is haunting guise>sorc>abyssal>GA and it felt like i did zero damage, I guess I like rabadons a bit quicker. thoughts on..: >hextech revolver/sorc boots (i rush hextech for the sustain in lane/while farming. personal preference thing) >HG (if ahead) / Rabadons >abyssal or zhonya's depending on team comp >GA >void staff not sure if this is good and i'm still not sure if i should go rylai's as it really helps you be a bit tankier in team fights | ||

As far as her R is concerned, having Gunblade is equivalent to having ~140 AP. However her AD ratio on W is lower and none at all for her Q and E. The active provides additional burst, which is nice. | ||

HG+Sorc+Abyssal is a very damaging build...maybe your farm just wasn't up to par? | ||

I was playing a 60-minute game and pretty much had enough money to throw at any item in the end, game was evenly balanced maybe a bit in my favor. I had sorc boots, 3 deathcaps and 2 warmogs which gave me that high AP but still enough health to either tank some shots or run away as needed. Two rylais would net 26 extra AP (incl. 30% from another deathcap) and that nice unique passive but a warmog and deathcap would net 250 hp and the extra hp regen after a few minutes of farm. I'm not a big fan of the gunblade because I feel the added damage to the R is offset a bit by the reduction in E and Q damage. And as someone who loves getting the deathcap reasonably early all that AD is going to waste. | ||

rylais is bad, you need some sort of spell pen late game whether it comes from flat pen(sorcs/guise/abyssal) or % pen from void staff you need deathcap you need at least 1 survivability item, i prefer GA. warmogs is kinda bad cause raw health is the least effective stat for tanking you need boots obviously then you can have either 2 damage items or 1 damage item + 1 other survivability item | ||

Magic Penetration Build (Reginald, etc): Haunting Guise -> Sorcerer's Shoes -> Abyssal -> Guardian Angel It obviously has its benefits in magic resistance against your AP mid (unless your against a lane swap, an AD carry or a Talon for example) and provides you with magic penetration, but I find it lacks that 'damage' behind it compared to the much more riskier, but in my opinion more rewarding strategy: Full AP Damage Build (Tiensi, etc): Boots of Swiftness & 3 Health Potions, then grab Kage's Lucky Pick & Sorcerer's Shoes (also pick up a ward and/or elixir of fortitude if necessary). Rush Rabadon's Deathcap. Get a defensive item (such as Zhonya's hourglass). Now depending on what you need, build a Deathfire Grasp (for Damage) or a Guardian's Angel (for Defense). I generally run Katarina 21/9/0 and Magic Pen Reds, Health Seals, Ability Power Glypths and MS Quints. Just my opinion!  | ||

The big problem tho is that Regi is really really good at taking Wraiths and Wolves w/out ever missing lane cs so he can get those items super fast. It also works because in the case that he misses that timing, he can rely on his team to do damage while he makes the switch to more AP-centric builds. In other words, it's not very good for solo q. | ||

After that, do I keep buying pots as I need them while I save up directly to deathcap? Or do I get some defensive items to help? (this is soloQ) | ||

That said, sometimes (often) Dshield isn't a great starting item, so listen to them if they're vaguely rational and polite... Not sure if you're smurfing or actually level 15. If the latter, then you have a lot to learn, get it from anywhere you can. | ||

One said that we'd already lost and started intentionally feeding after a while. What is going on... It's true that starting DShield is rather bad for Kat. You need the movespeed of Boots1. It's no reason to flip and assume the game is lost, at least not if you're not playing at 1500+ elo, which you obviously aren't when you're lvl 15. But there will always be people who think they know the one and only way to play every single champ in this game. You can't do much about that. Don't let it bother you too much. | ||

Open with Tome and potion and upgrade asap for the bonus gold, then get boots first to enjoy the bonus gold a little bit more - trust me this opening beats the 'recommended' trash the shop tells you. However, I am by no means a pro and I have no clue what my elo is since I stopped ranked games since half a year ago (stopped at 1300 elo due to too much BM in the games, unranked is much more peaceful) so don't take my word for it if you're playing high ranked | ||

I would only build it when I need the reveal active for example against akali. the slow should not really be a huge thing as kat is one of the most mobile champions in the game. | ||
