However, she can also be exploited by experienced opponents who will seek to shut down her growth. A well-fed Irelia may easily dominate the midgame and torment the map's squishies. Realise that even kat has spikes in lane and go for that kill early on, your lane and roams will be much easier with some extra gold.Īs for lane bullies, since they are bullies they will most probably push you under the turret since u can only use q to farm so thats a perfect situation for your jungle o come and help you out.Irelia is typically played in the top lane due to her powerful laning phase and ability to grow into a virtually unbeatable split-pusher.

If you don't wanna feel useless on kat then don't just farm under the turret. If the player is good then it doesn't matter what they play. Mostly because going even in a game with katarina means that you are in fact behind and you'll struggle a lot.Īlso keep in mind that you could lane against a yummi and still lose because its not always just the champion its the player. Remember that kats laning is indeed weak but your level 2-3 with long sword and conqueror is very good and you should ALWAYS try to kill your enemy. The only match ups that i struggle are adcs especially lucian and draven but people rarely pick them anyways. It's only okay to trade a wave for a roam only if it's a 100% play or if your bot is getting dove or, sometimes, if you can dive enemy bot.Įxperience and game knowledge will make your laning phase easier with time.Īs someone who plays kat since forever i enjoy playing against most mages and melee match ups. You have to see mid lane this way: "You don't roam when you don't have nothing to do in your lane, you stay in lane because you can't rotate." And "can't rotate" means that if you did you'd lose wave and fall behind in XP. You can also punish cooldowns for melee champions, against zed, you can E>W him as soon as his shadow runs out, if Talon misses his W you can short trade too.īut her laning phase is not really her strong point, you essentially live to roam and skirmish. Sometimes, against mages, they will use their CDs while under your turret, and if you think about it, how can a mage kill you without spells? They have no dps if they have no spells. You have to wait your wave to bounce so you have minion advantage in order to trade, this is in most matchups. Basically you have no impact on the wave at level one so you can't get prio, which means minion advantage will fuck you up if you trade. You can't play Katarina if you don't know wave sequencing, so you should look that up.
