This title thumbnail combo did great view wise but upset quite a few people so sorry to those Katarina mains nitpicking everything I say or do. Don't worry, Katarina is super duper hard and only the biggest IQ geniuses can play her.
i remember some years ago pekin got rolled over by a kata and got so pissed off, he then proceeded to pick Kata next game and stomped with it lmao that ended up being a youtube video as well
@@mahmedfarid3201 oh now that you mention that apology lol, i remember it too. but can you blame him? When Kat gets ahead, she becomes one of the most frustrating matchups to face, because theres nothing you can do
Under rated perk to pekin videos, he actually uses the skins in the thumbnail. Nothing worse than seeing a cool thumbnail and then the person is using default skin
"She's supposed to be difficult right?" I remember a certain tilted video where you played Katarina. (Paraphrasing) "She made a mistake! She showed up on my screen, so now she's dead!"
Katarina is not a difficult champion yet she's not noob friendly. What makes her difficult is being able to judge fights and situations, when to move, when to go in etc. so any challenger should be able to pick her up, but not every player in a lower rank could.
I love the feeling of immediately picking up a "difficult" champ immediately. Doesn't happen for me often cause I'm bad but those few times. Perfection
I think you did a rly good job for a first time, it shows you actually analyze and understand what champions you're facing and how they work (which is pretty rare as people just dumb rage on Kata, walking in daggers and wondering why they die). With that said, the Pyke was rly not playing, giving you the freeest lane while the greatest weakness of Kata is being bullied in lane, having no wave control, being pressured under turret leading to missing cs, and having no roam opportunities. I feel the only moment where you could have played better if you knew the limits of the champ better, is after 14:44, a lot of free kills opportunities missed
Generally better to rush nashors when running conq because you can stack it quickly weaving in aa’s between ur abilities. Proto is fine with elec but nashors is preferred. Maybe nashor changes make it not worth the rush anymore
Nashors is preferred for all builds unless going AD ofc. It’s practically never better to rush proto first ever since it doesn’t give you anything that nashors doesn’t do better besides the extra dash
@@Hichi katarina's damage is all point and click and she instantly dashes to her target. Compare that to other assassins like zed or akali that actually have to land skill shots and you'll see katarina is not hard. What is hard about a point and click q, a point and click e that resets, and all your damage coming from R and dagger jumps which are impossible to miss if you're in range of your target?
@@shubhod9569 That wasnt my question, but I guess you kind of answer it in a different way. Ive played Katarina, Zed and Akali and I find Katarina alot harder, but thats my subjective opinion. I love all of them. Katarina needs alot of understanding in terms of wave management, Trading, Powerspikes and Positioning ( especially in teamfights). The dmg Katarina does is lackluster if you play her like you would Zed or Akali. Mechanical execution isnt the only source of difficulty you can have. After playing a champ for a bit, you'll be able execute most champions. The thing with Katarina is ( if you actually play her) that she does not do much dmg if you dont get kills on her, her csing is god awful ( similar to akali there) so you rly have to roam and get the right picks to get strong. Akali and Zed can roam, but most of the time dont have to.
The thing about Kat's difficulty is when her WR drops. It's nothing about how much IQ u have This usually means you dont have the power to all-in someone, and it basically makes her useless. Basically how to win as a snowball champion who cant snowball. When she's in a good state, its nice.
so in other words: she’s not difficult at all she just gets nerfed when she’s decent bc she’s the most uncounterable champ in the game so gets complained about immediately
@@jason.s.music. uncounterable???? That's why all the pros play her and she's dominating solo queue at challenger, right? And its not like PLAYING her is not difficult, it is *extremely* difficult when she's not decent because you have to play almost perfectly to win a fight. They nerf her until it's barely playable and only then people stop complaining about her in lower elo.
Kat v Pyke is a super Kat favored matchup. Pyke wins lvl 1-2 but pretty much every loses every level after that. It’s a really rough matchup that pyke can only really win by making good roams, and pyke definitely needs maw in this matchup.
I wouldn’t say super favored. Pyke has better sustain and he wins all short trades and can disengage from long trades with one button that kat can’t stop. This pyke is playing ridiculously passively considering ap kat is absolute dog shit pre nashors
Don't know what surprises me the most...the fact that the enemy jungle never came to mid lane, the fact that even the support came to mid lane to assist... Of the fact that the enemy midlaner actually let you CS XD
Day 189 of reminding Pekin before next April Fools to do both the “League streamer tucks you into bed ASMR” and the “Challenger player shows you how to cook frozen salmon”
Honestly that makes sense yeah. Kinda like akali, her mechanics themselves aren't hard to learn, but its very easy to dash/shunpo into like 5 people and get ccd for like 5 minutes lol. I get a lot of mileage off of playing akali slow and carefully, sometimes thats all you need to win thr mental game and get a big lead
I mean that the downside off assassins in general. You need to know your position in teamfights and if you geht caught or fall behind you’re basically useless. That’s why they’re „hard“ to play. It’s decision making.
as Katarina you will generally always outtrade a pyke mid by simply extending the fight to more cooldowns. he has to land everything and you miss mostly everything for him to with the trade so it all comes down to whether you get hit by cc
Using a match against the most passive pyke mid player I've ever seen to call kat an easy champion when the difficult part is her unplayable early laning phase is a bit far fetched imo
Runes at 6:14 With Kat you hit your head against the keyboard and get kills. Change my mind. Edit: Could you go for a BorK and Divine Sunderer Kata game next maybe? and give us your opinion about the differences
As a kat main, I have to say I don't think she's necessarily "hard" to play, she has her combos and doing them is more of a muscle memory thing, and also knowing how to optimaly use shunpo to outplay enemies. The thing that's hard for her is that her matchups are considerably hard, and you need to have some impact in the game since she is feast or famine after all. The way she excels is by exploiting enemies mistakes, but if they don't make mistakes, thats where it gets REALLY hard for her, because she NEEDS to be punish enemies when possible, but being melee and having high CDs early makes it risky for her It makes sense for you to do well on her since you have a lot of good knowledge on how to trade and look for picks and ganks and not be too impatient, many kats die like crazy trying to fight all the time haha
@@koreshura1227 yup. And they keep making her worse. First the tank items, then even the mages started getting tanky with rod and seraphs. And now they give ability haste to her core item even though it's pointless on her....
Love your content bro and that you play games in high elo. I am just a casual silver player but was wondering what site you use to see what builds etc have the highest win rate? Your help would be much appreciated.
Katarina is not difficult but if you have a bad early and a focus on you with some champion who can cc you.... It start to be difficult to play. You got help from your support and jungler. It was a good game ! wp :)
@@shiro7282 this is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen lmao, 3 point E has instant reset because the base cooldown is so low that the cd refund puts it at less than a second. Tell me you have no idea what you’re talking abt without telling me
@@thoughtfulhedonist what he means is that the cooldown of shunpo lowers percent based with the passive, and it's based on katarina's level (at 6, 11, 16), not the skill's level. Upgrading the skill lowers the cooldown too tho, but by a fixated time like a second or so
@@marquitomarquito10 yes, that's what I meant. By lvl 6, if you put one point in Q and W, 3 points in E and one point in R, then E's cooldown will be at 11 seconds. If she retrieved a dagger, the cooldown will be reduced by 9.3 seconds which is almost 10. So, effectively shunpo goes to only 1 sec cooldown if you retrieve a dagger. That's what I meant by having almost immediate shunpo resets.
I love the mains going "NooOOoOOoOO KaTArInA Is A hIgH RiSk HigH ReWarD chAmpIoN AnD NOT EaSy". As if that high risk wasn't "maybe you are less useful in the game", and the reward "Oh you got 3 kills? You end the game".
Once you know how the daggers work I think she is easy to play. She just has many/mostly bad matchups so you rely on ganks or other lanes not accounting for roams, but once you're ahead becomes a monster.
That and kat is one of those champs where you got make split second decisions on when to go in/ is it worth jumping in a middle of a teamfight and potentially die as a result, which is probably why people consider her as the more difficult champs to master.
Kat has a pretty high skill ceiling since she has such great mobility. Overall she’s not ‘easy’ but definitely not some galaxy brained champ to pick up at all
@@LovesEmbracce exactly, usually when i play mid i pick lane bullies and agressive champs to make her useless. But lately I've been playing Jg, and I've been getting this 0 preassure Asol's, and she just keeps on roaming. Don't know what to do in those cases
@@kennethponce1640 Follow or intercept. In those situations you’re entirely dependent on your side laners not being blind deaf apes with no hands. Almost every jungler does extremely well into kat unless she’s like 20/0 and like 3-4 levels up on everyone. It’s a snowball champ that is useless if she doesn’t get the opportunity to snowball
One of the easiest ways though is to try to get ur team to swap for you to be near last pick in champ select and counter pick with something nearly unbeatable like Kassadin or Vex due to their kits
The argument isn't that the champion is "Hard", but that it takes the most amount of time to master, and this isn't some random claim that Katarina mains make. It comes from Riot statistics. Phreak even referenced this in one of his recent patch rundowns. There's also a very big difference between a Challenger player picking up a champion and literally anyone else doing it. You seem to forget that you're quite literally in the top 0.03% of players. It's still painfully obvious the difference between someone who plays the champion and someone who doesn't, even from level 1, despite how well you played generally.
so many ults that could've deleted them did no damage cus u don't have nashors. champ ratios nerfed and adjusted to be an on hit applier now maybe u don't feel it cus ur fed but ap only is lil weak
Kat herself isn't hard what's hard is judging what you should do and by the time you build your confidence up for a 5 man ult everyones cooldowns are off and they cc you to death. Just like assassins like Talon or Akali you have to have this fearless mindset and be able to make decisions instantly without faltering. Reason why KatEvolved is so good on Kat is not only for his godly gameplay but also not fearing and sometimes trusting his teammates to finish the job if he messes up. Kat herself is not to say broken but she can literally use almost every damage item in the game other than adc items (she used to be able to use Kraken lol). Anyways I have no idea what im talking about and I may be talking out my ass because I only play Kat like once every week lol.
Kata would be difficult if she didn't scale with every item in the game and had super inflated dmg. When ure used to playing mages that make jokes instead of dmg she feels easy to win with
easiest matchups as a kat: 1) melee 2) no instantclick hard cc 3) no insanely good waveclear (which 85% of midlane champions do have) 200k mastery points and i have never faced a pyke mid, but i can't imagine him to be a difficult enemy. try vex or fizz or literally any other champ
Katarina is definitely harder than most champs imo, don't think she is weak though just difficult laning phase but mid game she's really strong what I like about her is the 1+ second delay on her passive, personally I find it easy to play against kat she is slippery but easy to punish, if you see a kat use W in lane just run at her it has a 14+ second cd and she can't Q passive in melee range, I believe kat has plenty of counterplay.
I just feel like everyone who calls her op does not play her or have played her maybe she is not as difficult as people are saying but she definitely doesn't need nerfs imo
the only people who unironically think Katarina is difficult are Katarina one-trick, and that's because their mechanics don't translate to any other champ so they need to pretend theirs is hard because they're complete trash without her
@@billybobbobson3797 she’s not hard to play, but it’s not like she’s some strong abomination of a champ. If someone picks kat on me I can literally pick almost anything and auto win lane. A lot of control mages lose to her tho. But she’s useless if she gets behind. He played against a support main in this vid, and pyke isn’t good into her anyways. I like pekin but I think he has a lot of salt towards kat because he can’t deal with very skilled kat players that well.
considering her counterplay is don't walk on daggers which can be understood by a micro organism, yeah she's generally difficult to play if your opponent has a few brain cells to rub together lol. kinda weird perpetuating old pre-rework bronze mindsets dude
I think the hardest part of kata is to imagine the whole fight before its happening and place all daggers before resets... So you can have extra damage plus escapes while all your cd's are reset 🤷🏻♂️ but the weird thing is that even at master gm people keep walk on daggers... Just like they don't calculate you 🤣🤣
Its funny scrolling through the comments and seeing you only respond to the negative ones. Your anger clickbait titles work the same way on you with comment replys lol
Kat and akali = my most banned mid lane champs. Too many dashes, low cooldowns, and insane damage for no reason. Ult does 100-0 and resets on kill. Seen kat players and akali players come back from 0/5 and 40-50 CS and then just take over the game.
Katarina is one of those champs that everyone thinks is difficult because she has a million dashes yet in reality is very straightforward and easy to play. (See Zed, Irelia)

Just like assassins like Talon or Akali you have to have this fearless mindset and be able to make decisions instantly without faltering. Reason why KatEvolved is so good on Kat is not only for his godly gameplay but also not fearing and sometimes trusting his teammates to finish the job if he messes up. Kat herself is not to say broken but she can literally use almost every damage item in the game other than adc items (she used to be able to use Kraken lol). Anyways I have no idea what im talking about and I may be talking out my ass because I only play Kat like once every week lol.
Here before HD quality
Kata would be difficult if she didn't scale with every item in the game and had super inflated dmg. When ure used to playing mages that make jokes instead of dmg she feels easy to win with
True
Yayyy new video
Nice video!
i love pekin content
More katarina vids!
easiest matchups as a kat: 1) melee 2) no instantclick hard cc 3) no insanely good waveclear (which 85% of midlane champions do have)
200k mastery points and i have never faced a pyke mid, but i can't imagine him to be a difficult enemy. try vex or fizz or literally any other champ
All hail the algorithm!
POV: you pick a broken champion and get free LP instead of playing a balanced champion
Aaaaaaah 360p will be back tomorrow
Sorry it's 1080p for me. I don't even know how youtube works where it's HD for only some people.
@@PekinWoof yeah idk how this works sometimes new videos will be 360p sometimes they are full hd from the get go
It's Pekin time
Katarina is definitely harder than most champs imo, don't think she is weak though just difficult laning phase but mid game she's really strong what I like about her is the 1+ second delay on her passive, personally I find it easy to play against kat she is slippery but easy to punish, if you see a kat use W in lane just run at her it has a 14+ second cd and she can't Q passive in melee range, I believe kat has plenty of counterplay.
I love how for 7 years I've been hearing she is difficult to play, it is either the biggest denial or the best PR against nerfing her lol
the stats dont lie
I just feel like everyone who calls her op does not play her or have played her maybe she is not as difficult as people are saying but she definitely doesn't need nerfs imo
Katarina mains get mad when they smash there face on a keyboard and not get a penta
the only people who unironically think Katarina is difficult are Katarina one-trick, and that's because their mechanics don't translate to any other champ so they need to pretend theirs is hard because they're complete trash without her
play her yourself
It's funny how mad people get when you call out her as an easy champ to play.
@@billybobbobson3797 she’s not hard to play, but it’s not like she’s some strong abomination of a champ. If someone picks kat on me I can literally pick almost anything and auto win lane. A lot of control mages lose to her tho. But she’s useless if she gets behind. He played against a support main in this vid, and pyke isn’t good into her anyways. I like pekin but I think he has a lot of salt towards kat because he can’t deal with very skilled kat players that well.
Rip the plate 😢
Clicked on video thinking the thumbnail was Janna. Man skins are getting crazier these days.
Naaaah bro really started replying to the hate comments 💀 this is pecans downfall arc
good video
GOODRAS HIPS❓❓❓
PLAY MORE KAT!!
lets goo my main but yea shes easy to learn hard to master
Nice vid
considering her counterplay is don't walk on daggers which can be understood by a micro organism, yeah she's generally difficult to play if your opponent has a few brain cells to rub together lol. kinda weird perpetuating old pre-rework bronze mindsets dude
This guy is malding
I've been begging Pekin to play Taliyah and he plays this godless champ instead. Smh. Lol.
I thought Katarina was difficult and then I got her in ARAM and steamrolled with it. Nice video!
Aram bro
I only play Katarina for her two big b...blades. Yeah, blades.
She is easy to play but difficult to master... Im playing her since 2 years in master/gm nearly as otp and i think im stull a 8/10 🤷🏻♂️
I think the hardest part of kata is to imagine the whole fight before its happening and place all daggers before resets... So you can have extra damage plus escapes while all your cd's are reset 🤷🏻♂️ but the weird thing is that even at master gm people keep walk on daggers... Just like they don't calculate you 🤣🤣
Placing a comment here due to I liked the video
Its funny scrolling through the comments and seeing you only respond to the negative ones. Your anger clickbait titles work the same way on you with comment replys lol
Anyone in the game can play Katarina. She was very unbalanced, just QEWR ignite that's It. Shunpon again and then use your skills without mana ._.
pyke easiest matchup for kata, u litteraly have 2 spells t o dodge his 2 spells
do a video on riven mid
Kat and akali = my most banned mid lane champs. Too many dashes, low cooldowns, and insane damage for no reason. Ult does 100-0 and resets on kill. Seen kat players and akali players come back from 0/5 and 40-50 CS and then just take over the game.
Katarina is difficult for me because I suck at the game so 🤷♀️
But but but you hate Katarina Pekin D:
Day 3 until Pekin coaches me to be a decent player because he is a great person and a peak league player
Nah bro is laning against Pyke mid, ofc he'd go ham
Katarina is one of those champs that everyone thinks is difficult because she has a million dashes yet in reality is very straightforward and easy to play. (See Zed, Irelia)
