Any regrets maining/one tricking?

Hey guys very interested in maining Kat but a question for you all, do you have regrets maining Kat? And what do you find most frustrating about maining her?

An example I’ll give is I reached high Elo with swain as my main but his e gimmick and lack of playability into long range match ups is killing the fun for me BIG time

This I feel is important as I want to invest a considerable amount of time in learning kat but I’d love your guys’ perspective

Thank you in advance :)

You need to be 2x better than some enemy champions to even play even if you guys are the same skill level

An exception is not the rule, though I will say that is crazy impressive, I just cannot understand how veigar can do anything against a kat except scaling

Yea a buff earlier this year to his Q range lets him farm stacks outside kat e range so he just gets to scale for free now

oh my bad, I only recently got back into the game again and I havent seen him in my matches in a while so I must have missed that, though I have no idea why he needed a q range buff but standard riot balancing I guess

s14 veigar doesn't even lose vs kata, he just chill farm with q after they doubled his q range, and then he builds roa and seraphs and he is unkillable while one shotting u with r

You could say that about relatively long ranged mage though

nah veigars are extremely careful because they're aware of how bad the matchup is they rarely ever walk in your range to trade, other mages will play super cocky so u can beat them way more easily, also since they don't build tanky u can acctually still kill them if u E to a minion and then all in-them, u can't rly do that with veigar he will just facetank everything
