How to Play with Katarina as Kai'Sa in LoL

Overall, Kai'Sa sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Katarina. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

When Kai'Sa is an ally to Katarina, she gets a small decrease in her complete damage dealt. This could indicate that Katarina does not provide cover for her to dish out more damage or that her support also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Kai'Sa is played together with Katarina on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Katarina. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Katarina.
Moreover, when Kai'Sa plays with Katarina on the same team, she on average takes a little less damage than when she fights alone. Taking not as much damage could indicate that Katarina does a decent job of covering Kai'Sa during teamfights.

Katarina has a greater difficulty than Kai'Sa. That means Kai'Sa players need to be very careful when lining up Katarina comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to do well with you.
Working on the same side, Kai'Sa players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Together, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Although, by grouping Kai'Sa and Katarina together, you will not be giving your team enough utility. We recommend you have other champs on your team that offsets this disparity in this pairing's kit.
Regardless of your Katarina ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
