Karma needs a rework badly (proposal inside)

Well with a pick rate hitting 4% and dropping like a stone, it's pretty clear to me that poor Karma needs some serious love. She currently suffers from a kit that can be completely invalidated by someone being able to dodge her Qs, and frankly her kit's really really boring. But worry not young League fans! For I have applied all my knowledge into designing a new kit for her that will allow her to retain her identity of being all about balance, while making her insanely fun to play.

First let's look at her passive: It's CDR reduction... That's it... Such a dull and boring skill belongs on dull and boring champions, not Karma! Let's make her passive new and more thematic for balance using a trait you rarely see on mages. I'm talking about a berserker trait! Let's replace her crappy boring passive with a new one that gives her more AP the less HP she has. Fits the theme of her kit great and gives her a lot of power to boot.

Since we'd be changing her passive to remove CDR, let's work on Mantra. It's her most iconic ability so she needs to keep it, but instead of CDR let's give her 2 stacks and lower the base CD a bit, maybe make it scale with level.

As for her Q: this is the dullest and most boring part of her kit... A minion blocked skill shot that does mediocre damage? BORING! Let's give it some pizzazz. Instead of some lame skill shot let's make it an AoE cone! AMAZING! And the mantra? Let's add a balance theme to it, something her current Q lacks, let's make it help people by making it heal people in the cone when mantra is up. GENIUS!

Her W I have some issue with, it's not a bad skill, but it really don't fit the thematic at all, very selfish skill and that doesn't help Karma's themes of balance and helpfulness. Let's make it so the tether can be attached to allies instead, and if you do both Karma and the tether get a speed buff, that's a great idea! And to make it better, let's make it so any ally who touches the tether also gets a speed buff! TEAMWORK! Now if it targets an enemy, the snare is nice, but the heal's a bit too much since we gave one to her Q, so let's move the snare to her Mantra, and make it so targeting an enemy gives them a slow, in addition to giving a speed boost to Karma. Here's the kicker though, if an enemy touches the tether, they not only get slowed... BUT THEY TAKE DAMAGE TOO! It's crazy man we should totally do this!

Since her W's getting a speed boost, let's take the speed boost off her E, that way we can allot more power to the shield itself. Make it so the target she hits with it just gets a massive bulky shield, the person she targets... They become a tank. This way we can also up the damage of the explosion from mantra a lot. Making a mantra E a massive bomb just waiting to turn an enemy team to dust. For balancing reasons though we'd have to take away the explosions from the splash shields though and make them a bit weaker. But hey gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelette.

As for those fans she has... They seem kinda gaudy, but cool... Why not make her fans the weapon instead of that silly dragon thing on her back, would look way cooler.

If we implement a rework like this I can assure you that Karma will become one of the most loved and well played champions league has to offer, she'll be fun, and breathe some new life and excitement into the game.
