It's just too much power packed into one thing. All Karma has to do is click one time and boom, you win the fight. Why not remove the movement speed on the shield and place it on another ability? That would definitely somewhat stop her from ALWAYS being played in the LCS.
Maximum Morde2 votesThey've already nerfed her shield like three/four times. Nerfed her W too. I'm not sure what you want at this point? Karma already has a negative winrate.
I don't think it's a Karma thing. I think it's a mastery and item thing. Ardent Censer, Athenes, Windseeker, that shield one in the resolve tree etc. These kind of items and masteries are causing utility supports like Karma, Soraka, Nami, Sona and others to be pretty damn annoying as early game it's very painful to try to do anything to them unless they are stupider than my dog that sits outside eating charcoal and rocks.
Vanjie2 votesWell, Karma mains didn't want the R+E change to begin with. Shield bomb was more unique on her but Riot games removed it. If they are going to remove the speed buff then they mass well rework her . . . . . which they won't do because Riot doesn't about Karma.
dominusx1 votesher R-E is obnoxious AS fuck ..... add the lane bully potential she has on top of that she is a rather annoying champion dunno why she isnt toned down

I've beaten a bot lane Karma as Taric before, it is possible.
Elite4Runner1 votesWhat I think is funny about this is that Karma was not even on the majority of the community's radar until recently BECAUSE the pros have been playing her so much. She has not really changed much at all to get her to that position either. In fact, I believe her last change was a nerf, removing her ability to shield minions.
When she is played as a support, all she is a utility bot with fairly strong base damage, meaning her root and her shield are pretty much all she does.
As a mage, she can be a different story. She is certainly capable of dishing out some good damage, but even still, she is not top tier mid picks.
She fits well in many team compositions because of the good utility she provides, .. that is just what she does, ... so no, I don't expect that Riot will be doing much if anything to remove her shield or movement speed.
Nor do I want them to.
WarlockLaw1 votesSomeone here clearly doesn't remember when Karma's Ult shield did more damage than her regular Q.
