Why Play Karma When . . . .

Why would anyone play Karma when:

SUPPORT

When there are better supports who shield, heal, and do more damage than Karma. These champions also have original concepts and themes that make them interesting and enticing to play.

MID

When there are better midlaners who do more damage, have better outplay and are more interesting to play.

TOP

When there are better toplaners that do more damage, heal more, have more outplay potential, offer more to their team, can carry better, and are more interesting to play.

OTHER CHAMPIONS

When there are champions who provide better shielding, movement speed enhancers, tethers, and shields better than Karma.

ITEMS

When there are item actives that do what Karma does and in some cases better. This means that essentially every champion can do what Karma does now . . . . so why play her then?

Sorry if I'm a little off with the champions but the point of this thread is to talk about the complete disconnect between Karma and other champions. There really is no incentive or reason to play Karma when there are champions who do her job better and have more interesting ways to do it. We are coming up to 2020 in a few weeks and Meddler, Scruffy, and Reav3s refuse to work on this champion. I'm not even going to talk about the art direction. On a gameplay level Karma has MAJOR problems and the fact that there hasn't been any work done on her for 7 years, is ridiculous. Riot is REFUSING to do work on Karma because they don't want to further upset the 3 Karma communities they created . . . . which is their fault.

Gameplay issues that need to be addressed:

• Karma needs a direction and she needs to stick to that direction. Whether that is a mage, support, or toplaner . . . . Karma needs to be one or the other . . . or a mixture of two . . . . but not three.
• Karma needs a cohesive kit. Right now she has Mantra that are all over the place and don't really work together or play off of a gameplay identity.
• Karma needs original concepts and things to do that will separate her from other supports, midlaners and toplaners. What is the point in playing a champion whose kit exists so much throughout the game and other champions/items do it better? There isn't.

Riot needs to stop with the excuses and self pity. Great, you made a mistake and you are sorry about it. Fix the mistakes, address the problems and disconnect for Karma you created, and make Karma better again. There have been way too many excuses and it's been 7 years coming up since the VGU. You can and should be doing better by 2020 and it doesn't seem like you don't want to do that with her.
