How KatEvolved Stomps KR Challengers and Pros

[@scoutscode1122]

love that katevolved is getting really popular after showing in the korean server that he is that good. gotta remember he was a sub for bjergsen, and could have gone pro except he preferred the streaming aspect of league. he was what got me into kat back in 2018 and hes still so out of reach with his mechanics

[@manofthunderbolts6525]

He does what every streamer should strive to do. Play on the best server with your best character no bullshit smurfing or stomping piss elo players.

[@yoyoprofessorxavier]

Just watching Katevolved level 2, it's impressive how much optimization is put into damage and trades. Truly incredible!

[@fourfours3537]

8:32 the reason why his flashes always land is because he buffers e flash. The e will instantly connect once he flashes in the dagger range.

[@jimmykudo11]

for me, that's really insane.

[@PandaRehab]

@Martini buffering is when the game allows you to input an action while you are in the middle of another action. As soon as the first one ends, the next input comes out immediately. It is basically like queueing up your next move, but the timing is strict and depends on the character's frame data.

[@Vindenci]

Katarina will walk to get inside E range so you just need to flash to get inside E range faster

[@mic-on]

@Martini It’s pressing E on enemy before you Flash so the E is instantly prepared & casts smoothly. It’s better demonstrated with video than by description but i assure you it’s no rocket science, still crucial tho

[@Coooouri]

​@Martini buffering an ability means to "put an ability on queue" for when it can be cast. in this case, Kat presses E where she wants to go FIRST (so long as she has vision of the target, although the dagger is always clickable), and then flashes, so the E instantly casts when she enters it's range. it's important to be careful around walls, and sometimes flashing in a straight line from where you want to go is not always the best play. I say this because sometimes, I see players try to execute this trick as it was a single cast, as if it was a huge range E. if you pay attention to the play at 8:35, he goes around the wall before E-flashing.

[@frostyarchermincraft8865]

Oversimplified kata meta: Don't take flash -> Take flash

[@manofthunderbolts6525]

Kat was freelo pre tp nerfs because you could just secure kills every game and snowball with no effort As someone who plays her occasionally, I think it's a healthy change since imo flash on kat feels really good to finish off enemies or escape engages

@@xd-ms2yu same dude riot keep nerf kat probably because of kat evolved

[@torakazu2269]

One thing I’ve realized is that because these level 2 kills revolve around auto attacks a lot, Kat’s adaptive force and conqueror is likely granting her AD, unless I am mistaken. I’m willing to bet enemies take the MR rune against her as well, which won’t help too much against the level 2 all in with longsword and auto resets.

[@GioTrev]

yeah even before sunderer was the go to mythic you would still start longsword or dblade for the ad adaptive

[@angeltzepesh1]

You see, Katarina is one of those champs that you either 1trick her or you would never play her at the highest potential. No other champ requires such fast movements, maybe only irelia.

[@belcurve]

one of the things i think is most impressive about katevolved is that, and he's a really good irelia player too, he NEVER accidentally Qs (irelia) or shunpos twice on accident because he was spamming the key. I don't know how he controls it when there's so much cc in the game, but i find myself all the time like after an irela ult ill accidentally double q someone instead of qing to one person and then another. I don't play that much of either champ but it's still really impressive how his resets are ALWAYS up when he needs them

That can be applied to any champion in low elo. The 6:54 thing will get you to gold, no joke. You can also not risk it and do it way earlier than he did, since in low elo if they even just see you backing away from more than half a second they'll assume it's safe.

Just wanna point out that the trick to his use of Flash is to E (Buffer) → Flash. He said this like years ago, and this allows Kat to close a huge gap all of a sudden

[@webaazul2500]

Katarina in lore be like:

[@pauliussipavicius4658]

In this video katarina E range looks so much bigger than when i play her

[@yGKeKe]

A couple of these clips were over analysed. As good as he is...he straight up gets lucky sometimes and doesn't actually thinking about his moves as much as this video implies lol. As someone else pointed out, the reason his flashes are so good is because of E buffering...what makes it impressive is that he knows exactly how far can go and will almost ALWAYS flash the maximum distance into the maximum E distance...which makes it look like he fucking teleported across the screen. Anyway, kudos for slowing it down and pointing out his auto attacks. That's something a lot us struggle with, because it feels weird to just auto attack people with Katarina. I think most people's instinct is to Q and immediately E without autoing first. This is something that really sets Evolved apart, he's not afraid to just stand there and smack you in the face without using his abilities.
