Mel vs Katarina · Mid lane matchup

01

Core game plan

Katarina's burst is high when she picks up daggers; at the same skill level, Smolder struggles to keep her at range, so you need to play safe and farm until jungle help arrives.

How a strong Katarina player plays

  1. 1

    Dagger Drop Zone Pressure

    Pro Katarina will deliberately throw daggers with Q, waiting for you to approach before picking them up for burst damage. Keep your distance.

  2. 2

    E Engage for Trades

    She will use E to dash onto you for a combo, then W to speed away. Don't let her trade for free.

  3. 3

    Roaming to Snowball

    After getting kills, Katarina's damage spikes and she roams frequently. Ping and push waves to punish.
