I’m somewhat new to league (lvl 62 account) and in really enjoying Katarina. From what I’ve read she “loses” lane to most champs that aren’t walking gold like veigar or hwei.

As a new player learning the champ (mastery 5 so far), should I just take Doran’s shield + second wind/bone plating every game? I seem to have a much better experience playing it however I know it’s not the optimal choice most games. It just feels more comfortable.

Also for first items, I haven’t tried AD Katarina and I usually just go gunblade first every time because I love the active. Is there a reason to go lich bane first anymore?
