How to counter Katarina

Katarina is a melee assassin that snowballs off resets: every takedown refreshes her abilities and lets her clean up teamfights with her channeled ultimate. She is weak during the laning phase, so you stop her in two ways: hard crowd control to interrupt her ultimate, and early pressure before she lands her first reset.

  • Vladimir — His sustain rides out her poke and his untargetable W dodges her combo and ultimate damage. He out-sustains and out-scales her.
