In the Katarina vs Ahri matchup, the key to success is establishing lane priority through wave management and ability dodging, rather than attempting solo kills; by spamming daggers on the wave and forcing Ahri to use her ultimate, Katarina can create opportunities for short trades and roams that snowball the game, as the player demonstrates by not losing a single game using this approach.

The New Lich Bane BUFFS are Insane │ Katarina vs Ahri │ Master MMR │Added:
All right, man. We're playing the Katarina versus Ahri matchup and I'm going to be testing out the new Lichbane buffs that have been uh on this patch.
I've already tested it out and I've not lost a single game. You can check my you can check the sub to Ace account, the challenger account. I spammed maybe three, four games and I've not lost a single one on Karina of course is what I mean.
So, we're going to see now how it's going to feel. Maybe I'll start going AP more often. I do enjoy AP, by the way.
But AD does get more views. I hate it.
I'll be honest.
Like, there's no problem with AD. It just does not fit my style. I like the quick witted in-n-out oneshots. That's that's the Katarina that I started playing with and that I enjoyed. I can easily play ED. There's no problem with it. But if we're talking what what I would prefer, it would always be the AP route. The AP oneotty route.
One more roto. He out. Solid. Amazing.
Nice short trade.
Back in. Pop my ignite. Flash in O2. the O2 or I believe I can just one-shot her.
>> An enemy has been >> huge.
You should never walk that far up into Katarina, bro. That's what a lot of them make that mistake. And as you can see, I also did manage to dodge the E charm, which is the key ability that you have to dodge when it comes to Ahri. If you're able to dodge it, makes your engage much, much easier.

I would really like to entertain you guys. And yeah, thank you so much for the support you guys have been giving me. I appreciate you and enjoy the video. But right now, the mistake most people are going to be making is they try to solo kill her again. Not really what you should be looking for. I'm going to be looking to push the wave and if she disrespects me, I'm going to look for a trade. But for the most part, you're going to see me always try to spam my daggers on the wave.
Okay, I I saw Lilia. I was a bit uh hesitant because of the of the cannons, because of Lilia, and I saw Lilia. So, we're completely fine.
Bot lane is fine. And I don't need to puff button. I should have went top lane. I'm not going to lie. He has no mana. We're going to do this again.
We're going to push and we're going to probably get plings or she can probably overstay. Yeah. If I had ignite, she definitely dies.
But I unfortunately do not have that.
Ah, I'm gonna stay.
I'm going to put a word right here so that we can maybe contest the scuttle. I can see that she did not take it.
Could be a double scuttle play.
I'm not too sure. I felt like I went to the river and it it still shows the dot.
I assume it it's still there. So, I can only assume. I'm not too sure.
Maybe I have to literally see the scuttle in order to for this to be like that. I thought like the moment I enter here I'd be able to know fine though obviously you want to win condition bot moulder gigas scales he has a mele who peels him front line kind of clean up and kind of clean up you see the edge of the dagger you going to hit hit her with the edge go for a nice short trade.
Now she can't follow the roam that's going to happen on uh potential botside cuz she's low.
You want to get lane pryo. Dodge this e out. That's as simple as it is. That's how easy it is to get lane pryo. By the way, you can either do that or just qw.
Let me ping this.
Yep. And just like that. That's how you use your mid pryom. Look at this.
>> An enemy has been slain.
>> I'm getting my E. I'm getting my EL, >> bro. I'm not going to lie.
VGO fisted me, bro. I was expecting so much from him. I I got nothing.
Oh my god, it worked out. Anyways, thank God. I was about to say that was such bad timing for me to say this and I end up dying. Ah, there was no world where that was a bad play. That was a very good play. Yeah, I got lane pryo force Lilia to flash a to ulti. If anyone was there, it should have been an easy cleanup.
Should be a free drake cuz I I assumed he he would just insta start drake.
You go in one more auto.
You see how you go in when you're when you're when you use your W so that you can easily dodge it. They're not not all of them are going to be able to assume that you're going to be uh going going in and out.
You could easily like slow down the footage and you'll see what I do. I E W and then walk forward. It's very awkward for her. And there's kind of nothing that you can really do about it. And okay, we have Faker on the top lane. She has no flash.
>> Huge. We know that because I made Lilia flash. Amazing. Now we're just going to rinse repeat this process of push roam push roam that's literally going to be the pattern and if I'm able to short trader while I'm while I'm at it then we do so alto and then we're going to que out this way we have lane pryo and we make her low jack of all trades.
It's a cannon wave by the way. That's why I roamed flash EW. Maybe >> I saw that she used the ulti, so I knew that she's not going to be able to escape. She flashes. I literally click WR, so I would have gotten my dagger back up. And that's how you properly impact these kind of games. See what I mean? Not too fixated on trying to kill Ahri. And because it was a cannon wave, she barely gets not even she, if she was able to, she would have got one. That was all she was going to be getting. One plating easily dodge that.
I'll wait until I push the wave and then I can easily remove this pink ward.
Unless you just let me hit baby behas easily force her to use her ulti and she's she's out she's out of the the game until she gets back her alult. Top lane is full pryo. Bot has pryo. I have pryo. Everyone has pryo. Look at how easy nice the game feels now. Now I can selfishly play for my lane and I won't feel bad cuz I got everyone ahead. I've done my job. I was in top fight. I was at bot fight, jungle fight, drake fight, everything, bro.
Of course, you're not going to be able to do this every single game, but a lot of easy matchups you are able to. I can name a lot. Ahi, Asol, Vagar, Yon. There are so many, bro. Syndra, Oriana, all of these. Like, again, this is assuming you'd have I don't you don't need to have crazy mechanics, bro. I'm not even going to say crazy mechanics. just decent mechanics in order to be able to see what uh what's it called?
Like understand what the enemy uh mistake is for you to be able to punish. Cuz all I'm doing is punishing.
That's all I'm doing. If they do nothing, then I do nothing. I just get lane priio and I and I, you know, move about with my day.
An enmy has been slain.
You don't need to do anything. I easily clean this up. No, all they had to do was do nothing, bro.
But everyone wants wants the kills.
It is what it is. It's fine. At least we stopped her from running away. I guess you can you can say that.
Grab this. Boom. Going to wait a little bit. Head back to lane. She has two plings, bro. That's 17 and one. Cuz people be asking me, but like how can you roam? I'm losing my play things. If you roam at the correct times, they will not be able to just ult. Yeah, it's just that easy. I always force her to use ulti because without her ulti, she does not exist as a champion.
Similar, it's very similar to the Kale matchup where I just use my ulti to force her to al and then she's useless cuz my champion design is just strong in team fights. I don't need my ulti. My alulti is more of an executing tool, not a I don't need it to deal damage. My daggers are what? Deal damage. Again, I'm talking about AP. With AD, you're probably a bit reliant on it, but like not fully. Like your auto attacks do deal a good chunk of damage.
She used their ultis. I'm confused why she's walking up. Looks a bit weird. S's there as well.
And I know like where's my team?
Going to push mid lane.
Should be free drake right now. Do I had top lane is the question.
Nah, bro. He's chilling, bro. This guy is just hard winning. Oh my god.
She doesn't even know what to expect anymore. I'm faking way too much with my dagger. So, she doesn't know when to time any of her abilities cuz I can easily just keep walking up and click S.
That's like the stop key that I have.
So, that's why like you see me sometimes stutter stepping.
An ally has been slain.
>> Nothing really to do. I was trying to look for an angle to clean up.
Nothing presented itself though, so there's no reason to force anything.
Could look for a kill on mid lane if she comes. Maybe she's not going to be able to crash the wave.
Wow, bro. I can't see her because I had no vision. That's actually so annoying.
It would have been a free kill if I had vision. I had to guess there.
That's the only thing I can really do.
Her ulti is on such a low cool down, by the way. That's something I just realized. I didn't know her.
I knew her AL is on a low cool down, but it feels like it's like on the 50 second cool down.
It's also on an insanely low cool down.
It's crazy.
I'm not going to risk anything right now. My team is winning for the most part.
Shut down.
>> Wait, how did that how did I thought I channeled my base >> that that Nelly flash.
>> Oh my god, that deserves an Oscar award.
Okay, she expected me to base, which I I expected myself to bit. I don't know how my base stop, but before I start to TP, I am giga strong, bro.
Now, at this point, the game is just over. It's just going to be a matter of time before the game just closes out.
We just keep rinse repeating the process. Like it's a very boring process because again it feels so much better to solo kill her. Of course, even I try to solo kill her when I flash because again there's nothing else for me left to do.
I've done I've done the work. I'm just like that. See BFF. Like I said, brown.
That's how you snowball these kind of games.
