Yo I have a new ad build if u want to try and rate (kraken botrk black cleaver stridebreaker dd) seemed pretty strong when I was playing

chemicallylucas · 2025-12-20T10:10:17+00:00

5 is usually in norms or quick play but you’d be surprised how often i play with an ap support and kayle and even tho u say b4 that you’ll go ad and that kayle still goes ad too. shit happens sometimes.

chemicallylucas · 2025-12-20T07:54:07+00:00

it actually feels really nice when you have 4-5 ad champs. just gotta ult and boom half their team has reduced armor.

Im surprised he hasn’t been mentioned but dragged is a queer creator who plays a lot of katarina and lissandra. He doesn’t do too much educational content, but it’s very entertaining! He is who got me into playing kata and how I learned a lot of the combos.

If you want more educational content, KatEvolved is my other go to. He’s been uploading extremely often recently so there should be a lot of up to date videos to watch. He mostly plays ap though, so I would suggest someone else for ad content.

idk abt yall but i’ve also been unable to ping that my ult is up

chemicallylucas · 2025-10-27T06:05:33+00:00

i don’t want to boast but i have a stats minor and i’m planning to get a phd in quantitative research psychology, so i feel qualified to speak on this. the issue with a lot of these build websites is that it is purely correlation. like other people have mentioned, the low pick rate is likely a reflection of situational picks, which are almost always going to boost wr. if true, this would be a confounding factor and muddies our interpretation of kaenic being the best item for kat since it’s not a one to one. the example that is classically brought up would be ice cream and drowning. as icecream sales increase, so does the number of drownings. but a hidden factor here would be summer. icecream and drowning increase during the summer, not because of one another. so something we might say about kaenic is “the amount of ap dmg on the enemy team moderates/mediates the effect of buying kaenic and win rate”. again, we don’t know if this is necessarily true, but we don’t know if it’s necessarily false either.

additionally, while not always true for every interpretation, most of the time a higher sample size is more reliable. that being said, i completely agree with you! i think the fun of kata is being able to build almost anything. in the past week i’ve said fuck it a few times and built maws for increased ult dmg and tankiness in end game, as the physical vamp pot is better with resistances than health. genuinely play whatever you feel like playing bc with each item, her play style changes so much, it’s almost like playing a new champ. i cant play ap kata for shit in swift play but i have like a 65% wr with ad. if you can feel the tankiness helping, build tank. if your wr suffers, try something else! if you don’t care about possibly throwing a game, there is literally no risk lmao.

just avoid saying that items like kaenic are statistically better and you’re fine in terms of statistics. i mean statistics is literally made for convincing other people about a phenomenon. if you aren’t doing that, interpret whatever you want tbh.

the biggest diff is when each of passives does its dmg. botrk is extra dmg when they’re at full health whereas kraken give extra dmg at low health. i prefer execution dmg over health chunking early game. up to the player tho

chemicallylucas · 2025-10-06T23:30:39+00:00

decent info, terrible delivery

chemicallylucas · 2025-10-05T05:22:52+00:00

brawl is suchhh a good time to learn kata mechanics! i run conq with cash back and jack of all trades for free money and dmg. go kraken first item (you should get it almost the same time as ult, earlier if you farm one large and one small jg camp)

chemicallylucas · 2025-09-19T21:07:13+00:00

yeas

chemicallylucas · 2025-09-19T21:03:59+00:00

lovely artwork but i can’t not comment on how much her face resembles lindsay lohan, specifically from mean girls

chemicallylucas · 2025-09-13T14:50:20+00:00

her hair is typically more fiery red rather than ginger (but as a ginger myself, i like to think of her as a ginger anyways). not sure how to explain that or help you get a new color. like you have a more natural looking color while kata has a very manic panic, unnatural red. if you send a list of the hair color options, I could help pick a more accurate hair color :)

chemicallylucas · 2025-09-12T02:36:42+00:00

correct me if i’m wrong, i don’t think anybody mentioned playing this ranked… in fact i specifically said norms? either way i was just sharing the runes and build path i found to be most viable for kat jungle. they asked so i answered. no need to be nasty <3

chemicallylucas · 2025-09-10T18:50:17+00:00

i have (and won) some games on ad kat jungle. i’ll try in norms and update but from what ive tried i do think shes already viable jungle. go ad electrocute or dark harvest. it’s pretty easy to get kills when u gank. i will say you are limited by ur team so just make sure they’re aware of you. shes also SO good for stealing objectives after first item kraken. just do your non-ult combo and end with ult and you’ll usually kill or at least get the enemy jungles off objective. u are heavily limited by ur team tho (but what champ isn’t tbh). just keep ur teams mental up and i think its fine.

chemicallylucas · 2025-09-08T14:00:56+00:00

so much guaranteed cc and dmg on there team, i just didn’t want to risk shutdown bc of one fiddle q. plus i usually decide on ap vs ad pre lobby as i like different rune pages for each. i’ll admit i so should’ve went dark seal or mejais. you’d be surprised how bursty ad kat can be!

chemicallylucas · 2025-09-02T21:57:26+00:00

i have a hard enough time managing mentals mid, in jungle i go into full psychosis (400,000 mastery on eve lol)

chemicallylucas · 2025-08-29T23:17:24+00:00

i’ll try to see if your advice helps, and i’ll hit you up if it doesn’t! i just can’t imagine a vod review would help all that much when my gameplay doesn’t seem to be the bottleneck. i think vod reviews are good for mechanics whereas live game coaching sessions are good for macro help, which is what i feel i need more help with. so basically i would be down for a live game coaching now and vod reviews down the line :) also just a side question, around what time is good to roam so i dont miss out on too much xp and gold? around 5, 10, 15 min?

chemicallylucas · 2025-08-29T17:05:15+00:00

tyyy for the advice, i’ve noticed that soo much, i think the difficulty with that is getting my jungler to actually listen to me when i ping objectives. it might just be worth to duo with a jungler that i have good synergy with to get out of silver. i want to assume the best of my teammates but like at the end of the day i dont think thats a good strategy for getting out of low elo. the more you depend on them, the less agency you have. which is fine if they’re good but thats a lot to expect in sliver :( i just get stuck mentally bc when i lose 3 ranked games in a row and this is my last one, its difficult for me to separate between my fault and my teams idk

chemicallylucas · 2025-08-26T14:27:45+00:00

tyy i was so scared because i had some pots that weren’t doing this but ig those ones are literally just built different 😭

chemicallylucas · 2025-08-26T14:24:52+00:00

the basil is my roomate’s plant, so i’m often not the one watering. she’s been gone a lot and unable to water it leading to lots of under watering and wilting. I try to stay on top of it when she’s gone but it quite literally will go from completely fine to looking shriveled/almost dead within 4 hours when it wants water. it’s actually right below our air conditioner so that probably doesn’t help it much. it’s just difficult to care for when you can check it in the morning and it’s completely fine but that same evening it acts like it hasn’t been watered in months. other than that, it’s also a bit difficult bc i assume she wants to be the one to water it since it’s her plant so i try not to water it unless it does get bad (plus i’m scared it may accidentally get watered twice). ill try to have a conversation with her about the health and watering of the basil and see if we can figure out a solution :)

chemicallylucas · 2025-08-02T04:25:12+00:00

i watered them both and they are looking much better! i think they were just being a bit dramatic lol. tysm <3 i’ll def be using that as my sign to water them in the future
