This signals that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Rammus and Katarina that results in them performing worse together than alone.
Katarina has a greater difficulty than Rammus. That means you need to be very careful when finding Katarina teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.
Fighting cooperatively, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. Combined, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
