How to play it

✓

Dodge her W

With her stun up, bait her W (Incinerate): she pauses for a second, so dash behind her as it comes.

✓

Win the side lane

You beat her in a side lane: look to split and fight her 1v1 away from mid.

✓

Buy Mercs

Mercury's Treads counter her: worth buying even on AP, the item just shuts her down.

✕

Never all-in while her passive stun is fully charged: bait it out first, then commit.

Katarina vs Annie in Mid lane is a hard lane on patch 26.17. The one thing to respect: respect her stun, bait her W when her passive is charged instead of walking into it.
