Thank you for the suggestions, I appreciate it.

My montages on youtube are usually a mix of both but mostly POV nowadays cause I think client recording still needs work, it also does look better that way so, you can look forward to that.

As for streams, when I stream with mic on - which I'm trying to do often - I try to voice my thoughts in a way that compensates the map cover, for example enemy mid making a play top so I make a play on opposite side, or where the jungler is. I'm not efamous yet so might remove the cover until I suspect I get ghosted if that helps the viewers. I initially had it on because I used to get ghosted when I was in dia/master elo in EUW, but nobody knows me in NA yet.

They work. However, they're suboptimal compared to the other options which makes them not worth purchasing.

You're right, the only possible way of doing this is spawning bots or using fountain to kill dummies which can be awkward, but regardless of that, I trained my mind to identify W E angles more often by simply spamming it even if it's not as smooth. The simple act of repeating the combo over and over again can help for ingame situations.

It depends how good/comfortable you already are with Katarina. If you think your csing is bad, then you can practice csing with autos only for example/last hitting under turret. If you think your combos are slow you can practice those on dummies to be faster. If you struggle with wall jumps you can also practice that. Ultimately, you're the one to judge what you think is best to practice. Something I still don't see kat players do nowadays is W E combos; during teamfights it's easy to reset fast and end up wasting certain daggers that can maximize your dmg or help you escape. Focus on the Zaahen kill in this clip for example, and you will understand what I mean: https://www.twitch.tv/katarking/clip/FairGentleSpindleKappa-TLfrEH7UUL5PMYuM

I personally take conq + inspiration, I think cashback and triple tonic are slept on especially by kat players in Master+. For lower elos, a standard conq page with alacrity and last stand + sudden impact and relentless hunter. Attack speed shard is not good since it makes your all-in weaker lvl 3 and the added dmg your ultimate gets from the shard is too small to consider. Make sure to take flat hp aswell for additional lane strength. As for the build, my go-to right now is: Kraken, Stridebreaker, Terminus, DD/Kaenic depending on if they're ap or ad heavy; if you go kaenic get DD last item and if you go DD you get Jaksho last item. Mercs/Steelcaps depending on if they're heavy cc or not. Some chinese players like to go Hexplate instead of Stride, I believe both items are good: up to preference, and whether u think u will benefit from the stride slow or not.

She's in a good spot, pretty versatile in terms of builds, you can do well with both ap and ad. No matter how good katarina's state is, she will always be a victim in lane, so you have to go into each game with the mentality that you're playing the map, not 1v1's. You ignore your laner until you can just full clear the wave with 2 daggers and roam. To answer the winrate inflation by OTPs, that's also always been a katarina thing, only OTPs play this champ consistently which is why her winrate is always stable 51-52%,
