I've kept refunding her in my mind for a long period, but eventually decided not to.
I'm very happy that I didn't. I played her as AP Mid yesterday (which I think she is supposed to) and went up against an Ezreal (first match) and Annie (second match). I raped the Ezreal, the Annie was tricky, due to the stun(s), but I did manage to get most of the farm in the lane by not getting killed, so she couldn't really press that much. Eventually we lost that last match due to a bottom lane (?) Jayce that "played for the first time, but no worries, my friends Nunu will carry me" *Jayce has died*^8. People surrendered after 31 minutes and actually gave him as a reason, while I thought we were pretty evenly matched.
Back to my Katarina, I really love how she plays out. She has a great farm, she's very aggressive and has a very high damage potential if properly itemized. A constant threat, a jump in and jump out if you need. It's exactly the way I like to play on Leona. So yeah, loving it.
