It's only 950 gold. Besides, it gives you free wards all the time, while being able to put two down at one time and has four uses. Also gives you quite the survivability that you so desperately need early game to be able to farm against most champions since you're a melee.
You can also escape ganks pretty easily with it and if you really want to be more tanky early game because you got ganked constantly, get ruby. From there on, damage items all the way.
Sightstone is just really good on her.
I want some of whatever you are having
You are using about 50 minions worth of CS to buy an item that offers no damage on a champion that's primary function is to bring damage to skirmishes
Lee gets away with it since he is often jungling and is able to make plays with his SS (Q Q W to a ward R enemy carry OP) but there is a reason that SS is not bought on Jax and Katarina
According to the Wiki
http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Report_functionWhen players are reported for "Unskilled Player", no tribunal case is made, however if the player is reported for being unskilled consecutively, their Match-Making-Rating will slightly drop. This does not affect ranked matchmaking or players ranked Elo/MMR. This option is mainly used as a placebo for players that are acting negatively towards their teammates.
950gold. 475 for a Ruby Crystal. Leaves enough gold for 6 wards and change.
Why on earth would you waste another 475 gold on a sightstone when the remainder of the cash will take care of your sight issues for the next 10 minutes, which likely is all of the laning phase?
And you can even turn that Ruby Crystal into a Haunting Guise, which will give you some defense and damage.
Majad is all about that Portuguese Katarina meta.
Hey everyone
As a Katarina you rely on killing people and getting resets. I don't see a sightstone in the equation.
But hey, if it's your game style, go for it! (probably still better than AD Kata)
God dang its hard to find a semi casual team for ranked >_< Every damn team that seems good is already full
Liking this Katarina buff to her ultimate.
Hey everyone
I will buy a SS if i'm playing Shen top though, since i'm already playing the support tanking initiator type of role for my team, wards and extra health is also useful.
And moreever, your support in games isn't like your typical asian support buying nothing but sightstone and wards. usually they will only get 1 ruby ss, therefore my extra ss will help. However if i'm top, i won't upgrade the SS though.

Dont bother with Ranked 5vs5 the matchmaking seems kinda borked.
We had 1 Diamond, 1 Plat, 1 Gold and 2 Silvers and get matched against almost full Diamond teams in our FIRST GAMES on a new team. I'd understand the 5th matchmaking game being like that but the first one? Really? Beat Diamonds 5 times to get placed in Gold V, yay!
Only good thing is that laning against diamond/high plat bot-lanes is really making me up my game as a Support :P Playing against Dia 1 Vayne and Plat 1 Tresh was an eyeopening experience to say the least. My yolo-que bot-lanes feel kinda easy after those games, haha.
Its ok, i run a shen top with teleport/flash. So i usually get quite a fair bit of assist gold from helping out in other lanes. That's where the 950 goes to and since i consider myself to be more of a support initiator role shen its fine for my built. Anyway late game, having more wards will never be a bad thing. especially if the jungler doesn't help to ward as well which i have no idea why.
And most of the time, i can rarely get a 1v1 kill all by myself at top lane especially when im facing the likes of garen, renekton etc. So it just becomes a boring farmfest anyway.
Well shit.
That makes sense since it looks like our guys won the last 4 games (I was there for first win) during the night and got the team to Gold IV Our Diamond IV guy wasnt there for this team so from the looks of it they were matched against gold/plat players this time which equals easy wins
Now to just get Gold in 3vs3 and YoloQue and I'll have Gold in all 3 brackets
