Katarina Passive. I mean where would kata be without it? even her ulti is less defining than "GIVE ME THE RESET!" Yes I agree that blitz grabs can win games and so can Anivia walls but imagine Katarina with no resets. The champion would be non-existant. slap that passive on anyone and they become op. Just another really good non-ultimate ability that I thought should be mentioned. Yes bltiz grab is probably better but Voractiy has to be mentioned in the upper echelon of non-ultimate abilites
my trouble is other than rejuv bead what are u supposed to start on champs like akali, katarina etc. boots is just flat out not worth it, everything else gives mana and rejuv doesn't even build into anything either of them wants other then a late game tank kata that wants warmogs. Im wide open to suggestions because im just out of ideas for starting build for kata other than rejuv bead and maybe even tho her early game sucks blue pot 4 hp and a ward. i used to start red pot occasionally for the bait but now that cant even happen. Im just lost with there being no good starts for mid laners with no mana. all the most viable ones have been nerf or changed in some way and I just dont see a good one in the current patch
I completely agree with you beebop that people that rage etc. need to get over themselves and own up to playing poorly as opposed to u guys stuck im challenger and flaming all the time but i just find it funny that the guy with the darius thummbnail is talking about being manly. perfectly in character.
Wow thanks for all the responses guys. Yea im a Diana main like 80 or 90 games as her in ranked this season and my builds differ widely but i hadn't given lich bane a shot. My recent foray into TF opened my eyes to the item and was wondering about its use. looks like its best if you have good initiation but no way to delete their fed squishies. i'll give this a try next time im in this situation or fed enough that zhonyas and shield are enough to keep me alive.
follow up question though, I see that a lot of you guys are still recommending nashor's first or second. Even with the recent price increase o you still think this is the best option? also if I dont end up getting it then is it worth getting 4th or 5th to scale off of the AP I already have or is that too late for it to be cost efficient? Would a lich bane or other AP items scale better later in the game or is Nashors still better?
I realize all of this is really subject to team comp but just wondering in general what your thoughts on Nashors were post nerf and when it performs best (in game situations, comp wise etc and also time wise early, mid, late)
finally best tanky items on Diana especially health items becasue zhonyas and abyssla are the mainstays or armor and mr items for mages especially diana. I have trouble deciding between rylais warmogs etc when im looking for health.
Thanks for all the help
So my usual build with diana goes something like 6hp 3 mana pots 2 wards into double dorans into large rod then either Dcap Zhonya or abyssal depending on team then zhonya if i dont have it yet. I was thinking that a cor 3 items on her that could be really good would be zhonya/abyssal death cap and lich bane becasue it makes use of some autos so you probably get like 1 maybe 2 passive procs off along with hugely increasing your ability to just spike carries but Q>R>AA>W>AA>Q>AA>R>AA>R they should honestly be dead after Q>R>AA>R but the first is the extended version. I feel like Nashor's just isnt worth rushing as a core item anymore because its less cost efficient becasue of the cost increases and i find my self playing her much more as a TP ganker and carry killer than a split pushing bruiser.. Was just wondering if Dring x2 > deathcap > Zhonya's > Lich Bane or some variation on those 3 core items was a good idea or if any other build using lich bane would be good on her because i feel like she operates similiar to fizz/TF int he fact that her autos are very strong.
IDK if any of u watch this but his hair looks exactly like dominic's form EurekaSeven
Edit: Put the puppy back to normal he was so awesome that way!!!
First of all that is a sick puppy, it makes me want to just pick it up and hug it. Second i would say that as a not main ADC but the onyl ADC i really play well is kog and as him i tend to try to rush a BF into zeal then IE then PD(Old school I know but it works) I haven't tried BotRK on him but i feel like u have ur tank shred already and you need some just flat dmg if u do end up attacking those squishy (and pesky) assassins etc. That really all the insight i can give im not a great expert in bot lane. Ohh I guess id say take cleanse when they have CC that can result in u just flat out dieing even with a barrier. These include ganks with taric stun, sona ulti shen taunt etc. these are things that you are better off just cleansing and lifestealing the health back that you would have saved with barrier. also they tend to burst u while you are CC'ed so the barrier doesn't help as much.
I also think you forgot the champ scarra calls the best mid in the world TF.
Guys this has been over now for like almost a month plz stop posting
To be honest the champ biggest hit by this kata. The reason she was really playable especially with the recent damage nerfs was that she could sustain through the early game with 9 pots. I guess you have to start with boots 3 and just dodge everything. But like the ryze match-up is just going to be terribad.
