#1 KAT WORLD is STOMPING Korean Challenger and his STRATEGY might SURPRISE YOU... 

go follow his twitch - www.twitch.tv/boongwa

drew take this down i dont need more kats to play vs

This man spent a whole other minute to say he wasn't a weeb

midbeast: dopas super safe style is so smart. midbeast: this katarina playing safe is digusting.

People who have watched rezero are grinning rn

Now that i've realize I have the exact same shirt as drew, im not gonna shave for a day or two and post my midbeast cosplay in the discord.

This is pretty much the only viable way to play Kat though since kat loses almost every matchup in lane. Especially high elo where opponents know how to outplay her daggers

I really love this kind of videos. Analysing OTP is really fun. I would love to see videos about other lanes too!

I absolutely love this style so controlleed the discipline and very little risk it's perfect

I couldnt help but smile when he tp'd bot and got a tripple

I WAS THINKING ABOUT ASKING FOR A KAT VOD AND YOU DID IT ANYWAY, TY DREW

50% of the kata players i faced play like him and i can tell that is probably the most annoying and frustrating gameplay to watch as a midlaner

12:33 the Nashor always be the most gold value on Kat. That item gives you everything you need for her kit. If you stomp the game so hard like this video, the flat MR pen from rocket belt will make you dealing true dmg to enemies. But when you are even or a little behind as Kat, Nashor goes brrrrrrrrr.

1st game changed my otp katarina playstyle to his and suddenly went 20/4/8. it's nasty how effective that is. no longer farming for 1st item and trying to win off of teamfights

the nashors vs protobelt thing for katarina is usually just a judgment call about how often you're using your autos that game and how much you need the penetrations. It can also be a gold thing because buying two amp tomes or the upgrade helps you more than buying attack speed. So sometimes you wanted nashors but the way the gold lined up you ended up protobelt first.

"Katarina mains don't play there lanning phase" Bro it's because katarina has no winning lane like do you want us to just go in and die

If it hasn’t been mentioned already, his name is a reference from the anime “Re:zero”: referencing a character called Emilia.

thank you for plugging the twitch good sir!

Gosh this seri is very useful for me, thank u so much !!!

That description of tyler1 on your gram had me dying

Midbeast, a mage player, gets frustrated by roaming kat players lmao

finally.. ive been waiting for this video for way too long

the thing is, these high level, high elo player make some champs like kata look op af but she really isn't at least from what i experience and what other challenger kat mains say (KatEvolved). the reason why you run tp ign in lane is not just that you can roam better but bcs have your E to escape, you lose lane against 90% of the matchups anyway so no point in not just perma roaming. this is just my personal opinion tho and i am nowhere close to being a pro or whatever, it's just what I experience :D

I feel like Katarinas Diamond and below can very well be elo inflated, but if you play Katarina in high elo, especially as a one trick, you are torturing yourself. To be a challenger Kat main, you have to know how to lane well because early kills are harder to get. Even with tp, it’s much rarer than Drew seems to indicate to get a triple kill that early. This champion thrives off of enemy mistakes. If Kat is even or behind she is fairly useless, despite being one of the snowballiest champs in the game. So when people know how to play against you, you feel like a useless addition to your team. (All of her power budget is in damage, no cc or team utility). People always seem to forget that she loses almost every meta lane and is forced to resort to roaming or else she will die to her laner or get poked out of lane. While it is annoying to play against a Kat that seems to abandon her lane just to get roaming kills and win, it is also equally as annoying to play perfectly against a laner and still lose because they have a simple “win fight button” or are just statistically superior in a 1v1 regardless of skill. (She doesn’t buy mejais as often btw because of how easy it is to kill Kat if she makes one tiny mistake). This makes her very feast or famine like Yasuo, but without the 0/10 powerspike. As I said, if Kat is not ahead, she is behind. And even if Kat is ahead, she can lose that lead super easily (which is why this guy plays so kda safe). So it’s equally as annoying to play Kat as it is to play against her. High elo Kat players are not less skilled than laning champs, they just have a different play style from most other champs with its own pros and cons. (I’m not saying this champ isn’t op btw. And there are other champs that require more laning skills in high elo. I’m just pointing out how hard this champion is to play against people who know what they’re doing, and people always underestimate this until they actually play Kat). - Edit: regarding her mechanics, her mechanics aren’t the hardest in the game, but knowing how to play fights around your cds and around enemy cds is incredibly difficult. She is squishy and has extremely high cds if she doesn’t get resets (Ahri counters Kat because her charm has a lower cd than all of Kat’s abilities except Kat Q which is 11 seconds to Ahri’s 12 seconds). The biggest problem with Kat players isn’t a lack of understanding on how to combo, but how to combo properly depending on the fight and when to actually go in and leave. The number of times I see a Kat go into a winnable fight and die instantly is sad. She has to play chess with her opponents cds and her own cds while simultaneously playing a character as speedy as an anime character like Minato. - I agree that her play style can be viewed as “quite toxic” as Drew said, but remember that we are playing League of Legends, a toxic game. So she is perfect for this game. Also sorry about my rant. Just wanted to get this out there because of how often people say “Kat is so broken, just hit R and win.” (I had a Lulu say this in game once. Her W cancels Kat’s R btw). So while Kat might deserve some hate as a champ, 90% of people who hate on her are dumb and don’t understand her or how to play against her.

Would love to see you review creammon as well and compare the two!

31:51 The only time you get Rocket Belt before Nashors is if you feel that you literally can't engage without that gap closer, like vs Zoe. Nashors gives you 10 extra AP, but more importantly is the on-hit passive, which is applies on E, every time a dagger is picked up, and every tick of her ult. It's just a ludicrous amount of damage, especially when you're against champions like viego/zac/lee/ezreal, who really only have one big movement spell (technically 2 in lee sin's case, but Q has to land on an enemy target. We've all seen the montages and know what can happen, but generally lee is reliant on W/ward for true mobility). Once those are used up, particularly with karma aiding in mobility, you can counter engage pretty potently, and having nashors is just a much higher damage potential.

More of this guy please ☺️

A player of culture with that ign \E.M.T/

0:42 - 0:55 OK Drew, thanks for sharing :-)

For anyone curious about the double dash at 12:50-13:00... He popped his “W” to run away from rumble then “E” on dagger. After that he “Q” and “E” at the same time picking up the dagger and giving him another “E” to get out of that cluster in lane.

the recall animation on that skin made me think there was an aurelion sol

straight up watching games is pretty boring, but watching them while u explain them is rly nice, good job man

“I hope i didn’t create any more katarina mains”

LS would have an aneurysm watching this kat

Cultured emilia fan and a Katarina player. I like this guy already

To be fair, even before her rework, she's always been a heavy roaming champion

Emilia tan Man of culture

10:42 they changed kraken slayer to deal 25% of the damage it used to deal

That playstyle literally counters the KR playstyle itself, more skirmishes = win for him

DADBEAST with the best analogies. I need my i3 to become at i10 ASAP

Finally, as a kat main, i see this as an absolute win

"when u master the champion, 50 or more games the winrate just skyrockets" me with 300 games kat 50% wr... T^T

every katarina goes tp ignite nowadays, saying this as a katarina main myself. its been happening all year

How are these videos so chill

Do a review on Creamon! He’s the best Kat world!

I’m not a kat player but just looking at the games he seems to go for nashors against tankier comps since they are harder to burst with rocket belt and the attack speed helps against tanks

I would say the most efficient way to get mejai's is after you complete zhonyas, its like dark seal stacks insurance... kinda

I love how mad he is its my favorite thing as a kat main

Kat mains bouta start a whole new roaming role

Thanks for Kat Content!

As katarina you are forced to play the map whether you like it or not, there are like 3 matchups that you don't instantly lose where you can actually take trades and have kill pressure, kat needs a rework.

Legends says midbeans is still frustrated from the dark seal🤣

"You can ping, and you can type to your teammates all you want. But especially in lower elos, people just don't respond. They're not aware. They don't know what the hell is going on. So that's the worst part." I wonder who keeps telling my teammates to play with chat off.

I'm most likely forgetting some champions but off the top of my mind I'd say it's a three way tie between Katarina, Talon, and Aurelion Sol for the most elo inflated mains.

definition of „if its stupid, but it work, its not stupid.“

The other Korean Kat main that you were referring to could be "creammon1".

I like winning, I don't care the style, it's all about winning

Drew can you do some videos about other lanes too? i know you are a midlaner but we would like to see the other roles too

I understand the frustration, but this is how I felt as a support main when Pyke came out and carry supports started becoming popular. It feels so different from how you know your role that you end up thinking it's bad, but honestly I've grown to appreciate the abstraction of League.

Katarina main here, might have the answer for 2 questions : - Sometimes Nashor's > Protobelt, why ? Personnaly, I go Nashor's first when I need more dps. Protobelt is good when you can one shot, but you have nothing left if your full combo misses the kill. - Why didn't he mejai ? Because it's way more difficult to surive a teamfight as a Katarina than as a LeBlanc, Akali or Sylas for example. Especially with this build because you have 0 omnivamp (relentless hunter). So your job is basically to pop off in teamfights, which can be going fo a certain deaths if you can 80% HP 2 people. I guess you want to invest in 100% permanent stats so you are the exact same threat the next teamfight.

mastering a one trick is 10000 hours of gameplay so calculate it

fresh trim drew!!

It’s about to know the exact hour to get in take the kill and gets out alive ❤

Lol, I think this game highlights your resentment against these "cheating" assasin players

isnt creammon the kata guy in the KR server?

Nashor 1st item is better when u face tankier enemies with decent mobility. It gives bonus dmg on passive autos E and R (generally best all-round dps item for kat) so even if u get kited around your passives dmg and u fail to oneshot u r not left nothing.

nashors is only good for when you're ulting right? or is it also her q? maybe nashor's rush is better when you know you can reliably get your ult off and don't need the gap close from belt?

This is just 45 minutes of drew shitting on kat mains lol. And as a kat main I agree with everything he’s sayinf

I swear every Kat player afk's mid and just watches the map for 20 minutes

Nashers offers so much more damage than Rocket Belt where RB will only give extra Mobility.

im a kat main here, for a while I played exactly like this, but I began to realize how inconsistent it is, so now I typically run cnoq with bork rush going for a hybrid 1v5 carry build its more consistent and is lieneint on cc

Damn, re:Zero fan’s probably dying hearing the pronunciation….

Disgusting how she can run tp+ignite, ignore laning phase, roam and get kills and become ahead of laner.

Yo Midbeast you should do some similar videos on EUW

How can you change the way the river looks? Or is this only for spectator view?

Katarina loses lane against nearly everyone, you simply can't do the more traditional farming style

isn't this how every champ plays in a losing lane? watch some shen replays. same exact style.

love it mate

Thanks mid beast I’m going to play like this

i still think creammon is the og Kat otp in korea, and there's no one like him when it comes to reaction time, he can even win unpleyable matchups for katarina like sett or riven, he just plays mind games with them

More surprising that he's only 16 years old

Literally how I play Kat before I even seen this video

Rekkles was playing askhan bot this weekend on his stream. It was on normals, but he stomped some of the games on saturday

"unique strategy" wym literally every katarina plays like this

Something needs to be done about Kat. They literally get 4 - 6 cs/m and permaroam. Most of the Kats I see below Masters have no clue how to lane correctly and just coinflip roam.

Haha I don't see many other comments about this, but the way "Emilia tan" is casually being thrown around is a reference to how the male MC of "Re:Zero" refers to one of the female leads.

Talking about Elo inflating champions: What they all have in common is that their role interaction is completely different from the general style of the game and are pretty snowbally in nature or have a game deciding tool in their kit. That's why there are often OTPs for them. So my most elo inflating champions are: Riven, Yasuo, Irelia, Heimerdinger, Kayn, Evelynn, Shaco, Blitzcrank, Katarina, Akali, Talon. Evelynn is taking my personal favorite because her invisibility is completely against the rules of the game itself and it makes her almost impossible to play against in badly organized teams.

For jungle kayn is the biggest elo inflated champ

You'll know how kat always has a bad match up 🤣

i think he explained in a video he only buys mejais to replace boots ms if he has 10 stacks on darkseal and buys deathcap last item

Will you make a video featuring the rank 1 in OCE? :)

In my experience after just picking her up I’ve found Kata the hardest to main. Her laning phase is subpar, her trades have to be spot on and she’s extremely vulnerable to almost the entire roster of champions. From what I’ve learnt so far, her roaming is definitely something you have to do. I can’t say she’s inflated because the decisions you make and mechanics you have to incorporate are crucial. Everything from Runes, to play style, builds and understanding your matchups plus your potential spikes. I like the challenge. It’s truly far harder than Zed, Ekko, Akali and the like.

I am an ADC main and out of frustration, I made an alt just to practice Kat. That account is already almost the same rank as my main after 26 games so I'll let yall decide if she is an elo inflator.

I think doing something different to meta strats doesn't mean you're a bad player, especially with this kata. He might lack the testicles initiating fights and completely dominating but he's a clean kata and his playstyle obviously works. I think he's more orientated towards staying even/having a lead rather than having the classic NA pop off/run it down mentality which i wish alot of people would try and use rather than just inting if they don't pop off.

Looks like it’s time to dust of the ole’Katerina

Kayn. Most elo inflating champ in the game by a mile.

He literally says Katarina needs good mechanics, good map awareness, time to put into her and then says she is the most elo inflated champion 🤡

nashor's just feels like a really huge spike overall, that's probably why you see him building that first sometimes

Drew is such a likeable person

LMAO he says “this guy sits back and never tries to solo kill “ as he’s facing a Zoe lmaoooo. Play kata in above master tier and then we can talk lol, let me see you solo a Zoe in Laning phase lol
