Oh boy I sure do love Katarina's abilities, like: W Drunken Rage Katarina guzzles down brew from her dagger for 1 second. After finishing, she becomes drunkenly empowered, dealing magic damage to all nearby enemies on her next basic attack and reducing damage received.
I'm not mad at you nicky. i'm mad at myself that it took me 3 minutes to notice something was off about the daggers. in my defense i also refuse to play kat
Only reason I noticed was absent minded watching and noticing her q was highlighted like a recast, I didn't even notice the abilities were completely wrong till blue buff lol.
So I watched about half the video while doing other things and just listening. When I decide to look back at the screen, I think to myself "Huh, that's weird, did they change Katarina's Q? I don't remember the dagger exploding that looks almost like GragaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"
I've been playing for like six months and I spent eight minutes thinking "huh so that's what she looks like when you play her, weird" before finally googling "Drunken Rage" and realizing what was happening
Highlight of this series is learning that Nicky won't like any champion that requires fingers to play, or any role that involves interacting with other players
she does play pretty differently depending on the build tho, and understanding what each build is capable of, what fights u can take etc are a part of that. its not as extreme as someone like kogmaw as you said, but its not the same either, u max e with ad and q for ap, stuff like that
also kat does suck in lane, thats her main weakness, so someone saying the only lane she wins against is veigar is reasonable. obviously if they make mistakes u can still get a kill but her laning phase is by far the weakest, hence why she roams a lot
The second time he casted his W I was like, "Wait, what is she channeling...?" Then I said, "Wait, isn't Drunken Rage part of Gragas' moveset? And then he started his krugs. And everything made sense.
As a Katarina main, I'm offended. I'm also an Anivia main and one of the few who has no trouble fighting her. *Key reasons why she's not too broken* A. Incredibly weak laning phase, and All her abilities are point and click or requires you to be on enemy, and her only ability is 8 seconds at lvl 1. Farming isn't the strongest either, she prefers farming champions over CS. B. Yes, the On-hit they gave her when the items changed did make her more problematic, and this is from a Katarina main, I prefer her before she got all that, and deaths dance worked on her back then too. I still don't go AD and stay AP till my last item, and thats only if necessary. C. The same reason she's hardly ever seen in pro play is why she's not completely broken, a well coordinated team shuts her down by A LOT. Especially if they prey on her weak laning phase to get her behind.
i usually experience these videos as podcast... so imagine my surprise as i hear constant burping in what was suppose to be a katarina video... good job Nick
Nickyboi. if you're reading this. there is a book called "throne of Glass" where the protagonist is basically Katarina but with more layers and depth to her character and I think you will like the book if you're into fantasy medieval stuff
I had this in the background for the first few minutes and only checked when he said the jungle clear was healthy. I think we've been bamboozled, fellas.
As a Kat main I was excited to see you try to play her but admittedly this bit is funny asf 💀 at least I got to hear about her lore Also I will say her lane phase is extremely weak unless you build AD and even then it’s weak pre level 6. The lack of range, CC, sustain, and poke makes a lot of matchups very difficult which is why Kat’s roam so much. Idk what riot was smoking giving her on hits tho. I’ll admit it’s fun and makes her more viable especially since they took out gunblade but it leads to a lot of unhealthy builds where she’s too tanky
This is a great fucking bit I thought I was hallucinating so hard that I thought “wow that’s crazy that I thought that but wouldn’t that be a good bit”
I usually just listen to these while I'm walking my dog but noticed the dagger being thrown out and I was like.. wait a min when could she do that lmao. Good lil meme
OMG I WATCHED FOR 8 MINUTES BEFORE REALIZING!!! Tbh Katarina has had so many reworks that I just thought she has been through another dozens since I stopped playing
Thank you to the fan artists this week. Last week had me worried for y'all. You are part of this series, it is ran not only by nicky but by you guys as well.
In my defense, I haven’t slept at all and it’s 7 in the morning. But it took me waaaaay too long to figure this out. I’ve never played Kat either though
Oh boy I sure do love Katarina's abilities, like:
W Drunken Rage
Katarina guzzles down brew from her dagger for 1 second. After finishing, she becomes drunkenly empowered, dealing magic damage to all nearby enemies on her next basic attack and reducing damage received.
Just a bit of rum hidden in a special compartment in the hilt, classic Katarina moment for which we all love her, that scoundrel
I'm not mad at you nicky. i'm mad at myself that it took me 3 minutes to notice something was off about the daggers. in my defense i also refuse to play kat
Took me till first krugs. Saw the bubbles and went….wait….custom skin?
Took me 2:30
Was thinking his spell casts looked weird
Then I was like ok that's definitely gragas spells
Only reason I noticed was absent minded watching and noticing her q was highlighted like a recast, I didn't even notice the abilities were completely wrong till blue buff lol.
took me 1:20, and even that's too long
It also took me at 1:26, when the dagger just exploded I was like "Wait...isnt she suppose to spin, not make it explode ???"
wait a minute…
wait a didly darn second
what?
Hol up wait a minute suhm ain’t right
What I'm not getting the joke
Hold on… this is strange
this might be your single best joke yet holy shit thats brilliant
So I watched about half the video while doing other things and just listening. When I decide to look back at the screen, I think to myself "Huh, that's weird, did they change Katarina's Q? I don't remember the dagger exploding that looks almost like GragaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"
(He went mad from the realization and continues to scream letter A till this day)
@@glibchubik4090legend says you can hear it if you close your eyes and listen closely😉
@@glibchubik4090 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
The exact same thing happened to me. I was just listening, I check in on the video and... Wait a minute, this isn't right...
This new kat rework looks fun
Gragas 2.0
more cancer than the current Kat tbh
It took me too long to notice that this isn't really Katarina
I got suspicious that the chat was talking about 300 lbs man
I was like "Wait...." when he got to Raptors xD
She isn't?
I've been playing for like six months and I spent eight minutes thinking "huh so that's what she looks like when you play her, weird" before finally googling "Drunken Rage" and realizing what was happening
Ah yes, the "Katarina" gameplay. This is DEFINITELY Katarina in play, but she has gone a little bit alcoholic it seems...
Im so glad youre just playing grag with a kat skin i love it
I would like to see him play kat. AND SEE HIM SUFFERRRR. MUAAHAHAHAHAH😈😈😈
it's one of those champions that builds whatever it wants, her personality is not fun, and when she's ahead it's unbelievably difficult to face
And her jungle clear is so good it's insane.
Good luck getting ahead with her dogshit laning
Took me 2 minutes to realize it's actually Gragas.
The determination to not play kat is amazing...
same)
Bro this Katarina gameplay Is so sick, makes me want to learn this character now
truly the most katarina gameplay video of all time.
For like a minute I was like oh it's the Gragas helped leash krugs!
And then there was no Gragas!
"something is wrong, i can feel it"
I noticed that he's playing Gragas only halfway through the video 😂😂😂
Holy hell... We're all are so not ready for Vanguard and it's age of terror
My brains was struggling for so long with the particle effects
Highlight of this series is learning that Nicky won't like any champion that requires fingers to play, or any role that involves interacting with other players
But he likes aurelion sol. So... False 😎
@@kogamustard7717 Asol? Requiring fingers?
lol
@@Javano_ my hello kitty arms cant play space dragon :C
Ayo kata rework looks sick, so happy nicky managed to play her without increasing her Mastery score, truly a God gamer
WAIT I WAS LISTENING TO THIS INSTEAD OF WATCHING
I DIDN'T NOTICE
"Hey that vfx looks wierd, kinda like gragaAAAHHHHHH????"
2:32 wolfes my brain finally clicks that that is Katarina.
same
Well, apparently, Nicky and Talon have at least one thing in common
I’m glad we got a Katarina comic that finally explained the mystery of Jarvan III. I wish we got more of those with Lewis or Viktor
took me until 2:00 to realise this is a Gragas video
honestly the Evelynn saying why you picked kat jungle made me believe that it was kat and there was some visual update i missed and not gragas
I was doing chores with this in the background so I didn't realize this was a mod until 15min into the video
I was playing some pokemon while watching my silly weekly champion review and not fully paying attention and it took over 15 minuets for me to realize
It took me an embarassing amount of time to realize that was not Katarina gameplay
she does play pretty differently depending on the build tho, and understanding what each build is capable of, what fights u can take etc are a part of that. its not as extreme as someone like kogmaw as you said, but its not the same either, u max e with ad and q for ap, stuff like that
also kat does suck in lane, thats her main weakness, so someone saying the only lane she wins against is veigar is reasonable. obviously if they make mistakes u can still get a kill but her laning phase is by far the weakest, hence why she roams a lot
Just because her laning phase is the weakest, doesn’t make her laning phase weak.
@@phoenixflamegames1 compared to any other midlaner? yea it pretty much does
@@panpan4757I am at least 100% sure that Kassadin has the weaker laning phase.
@@phoenixflamegames1 i mean, his also sucks but he can trade against her pretty easily with q and the shield from it
I just woke up.
Saw the Q blow up.
Went "um did kat get a change?"
Katarina learned the drunken dagger style.
It took me a whole ass minute to realize this might not be acutely katarina .....
The second time he casted his W I was like, "Wait, what is she channeling...?" Then I said, "Wait, isn't Drunken Rage part of Gragas' moveset? And then he started his krugs. And everything made sense.
As a Katarina main, I'm offended.
I'm also an Anivia main and one of the few who has no trouble fighting her.

If you lose to katarina as an anivia, you’re not playing the lane right…..
@@phoenixflamegames1 I literally said I don't...
i usually experience these videos as podcast... so imagine my surprise as i hear constant burping in what was suppose to be a katarina video... good job Nick
It took me almost three minutes to notice that Katarina was looking a bit chunkier than I remember.
8 minutes 30 seconds before i noticed something was wrong XD just really have watched instead of just listening, damn nicky you got me
I'm watching these videos as a podcast in the background so i was really confused when i saw you ult for a sec lol
Nickyboi. if you're reading this. there is a book called "throne of Glass" where the protagonist is basically Katarina but with more layers and depth to her character and I think you will like the book if you're into fantasy medieval stuff
i love that book
You cannot tell me Kat and her "friend" from the comic weren't a thing at one point
What comic? I need to see this. Thanks!
I had this in the background for the first few minutes and only checked when he said the jungle clear was healthy. I think we've been bamboozled, fellas.
I love watching your videos, as a younger player of league I learn a lot from these videos about characters and their lore, keep up the work! ^^
7:21 that’s how long it took me to
2:25 just realized. Dam.
I had this vid in the background and just noticed what was going on when i looked at the vid halfway in ...
The teammate "Raging" in chat in the beginning made me do a doubletake when I first thought kat's spells looked weird
As a Kat main I was excited to see you try to play her but admittedly this bit is funny asf 💀 at least I got to hear about her lore
Also I will say her lane phase is extremely weak unless you build AD and even then it’s weak pre level 6. The lack of range, CC, sustain, and poke makes a lot of matchups very difficult which is why Kat’s roam so much.

This is a great fucking bit I thought I was hallucinating so hard that I thought “wow that’s crazy that I thought that but wouldn’t that be a good bit”
NickyBois skill in-game infuriates me beyond reasonable measure
What I love in katarina is the teamfight CC potencial. I love that rito made that her core design
I usually just listen to these while I'm walking my dog but noticed the dagger being thrown out and I was like.. wait a min when could she do that lmao. Good lil meme
He just... he just SOLVED the Katarina equations...
The answer was "Don't" all along
I was fooled for like 4 straight minutes until i realized something was off
Cmonnnn mannnn, i really wanted to see you play Kata D: though im happy for a new upload regardless.
It took me exactly 2 minutes and 5 seconds into the video to realize what was going on...good shit NickyBoiUA-cam
OMG I WATCHED FOR 8 MINUTES BEFORE REALIZING!!!
Tbh Katarina has had so many reworks that I just thought she has been through another dozens since I stopped playing
Ok i didn't realize something was off until the second jungle camp
I had the video minimized while I worked on something and the reveal hit like a truck
Thank you to the fan artists this week. Last week had me worried for y'all. You are part of this series, it is ran not only by nicky but by you guys as well.
You sly bastard, well played mister Nick the man
I had the video playing in the background so I wasn't paying attention to the screen, but I kept hearing burps and wondered wth was going on XD
I can see your love for Kata when you even have her mastery 6... Now thats dedication
I legitimately searched the internet to see if I missed a Katarina Rework... dammit nickyboi
I thought i was drunk, but then i realized only kata is
I cant wait for the Yone casual review in 3 years. Im sure that Nicholas of the guys is going to play him.
It tooke me like 5 mins 😂😂 I was like "hold up, I dont remember she having a slide dash"
It took me like a minute. And it seems like everyone's on the same boat as me
didn't know kata had manly burp voice-line
NickyBoi with the level 100 Illusion
I hate to admit it took me way too long to realize *_something was fucky wucky about the gameplay....._*
It's 9 minutes in and I didn't even notice it's not actually Katarina.
Was half watching and didn’t notice until halfway through the Krugs.
It took me longer than it should have to notice that something was off.
In my defense, I haven’t slept at all and it’s 7 in the morning. But it took me waaaaay too long to figure this out. I’ve never played Kat either though
I was very much confused
15:28 Nicky experiencing 3 emotions at the same time
I was listening to the video and didn't notice anything was wrong for like 10 minutes
I was looking at this for so long thinking Riot did something different xDDD
Ngl, i didnt realize what you was up to until you did kruggs. The absolute tomfoolery😂😂
I wasn't really paying attention, but when he got to first Krugs I was like "Wait a minute. Her animation seems pretty slow right"
why did it take me until 6 minutes to realise....
I thought I just didn't know how Kat worked
Im ashamed it took me 2 and a half minutes to figure out why kat was drunk and sliding her daggers on the floor…
NICKY DID YOU THINK YOU COULD FOOL US ?!!!
how did it take me a minute 30 to notice ....
It took me 3 min to realize something was wrong, i'm ashamed of myself...
I didn't realize till it was two minutes into the video that something was wrong with this Katarina.
Why it took me so dang long to notice it...
Can't believe they gave Katarina a mana bar
Very interesting custom skin 💀💀💀💀
it took my uncomfortably long to realize why the katarina w wasnt dropping a dagger. XD
Katarina with mana doesn't exist and it cannot hurt you
Katarina with mana:
this is absolutely hilarious and ur a genius for it
That's some clean Katarina gameplay
The realisation that you have to play champs that you dont like to use xd
The way I only realized it's not actually Kat cause none of the skills were refreshing on kill😭
WAIT A MINUTE....
Ok it passed, everything is ok.
Nicky boi sure did fool a lot of us
