Quick Analysis
SUMMONER SPELLS:
In season 11, ShowMaker always picks Ignite and Teleport as Katarina.
RUNES:
ShowMaker’s keystone choice is almost always Electrocute.
Sudden Impact and Eyeball Collection are the standard choices in the second and third row. And ShowMaker takes Relentless Hunter to increase his presence around the map.
ITEMS:
Katarina is in a unique spot in Season 11. She is very strong with both the AP build and the AD build.
ShowMaker has tried the season 11 AD Katarina build in a couple of games, pairing it with the Conqueror keystone. However, he prefers the AP Katarina build.
The mythic item that ShowMakers always goes for is Night Harvester. He usually always buys Dark Seal on his first recall and upgrades it later into Mejai’s Soulstealer.
Zhonya’s Hourglass is ShowMaker’s favorite defensive item for Katarina. And Lich Bane and Rabadon’s Deathcap are his damage boosters.
For boots, ShowMaker always picks Sorcerer’s Shoes for additional magic penetration.
If you’re going for the AD Katarina build, your mythic choice will be Kraken Slayer. And your core items should be Blade of the Ruined King and Ravenous Hydra.
