Karma's Mantra E Exists in The Game. You Don't See it, Really!?
Do people seriously not see how this ability exists in the game already? Like, Mantra E exists in the game in so many capacities, it's ridiculous how the new Karma players and Developers think it is unique and interesting to the game.
GROUP AOE SHIELDING Not that original when it exists on an item active. This ability does nothing but promote Karma to sit in the back and become a shield bot. Riot Game Developers have buffed this ability more than once the past 5 years and it has either been very lackluster or very overbearing to play against. If something like group AOE shielding is so problematic and unoriginal, why is it still on Karma? Shield Bomb doesn't have to come back . . . but at least make the ability completely original and separate it from something else that already exists in the game.
AOE SPEED STEROID/BOOST As a single target spell, the idea of a speed steroid or boost exists on every Enchanter and several champions. As an AOE speed steroid or boost, Mantra E already exists in the game on several champion kits and an item active. Why are Developers so intent on keeping something so unoriginal and bland for the sake of keeping Karma unique for new Karma Mains? The ability is not unique because it doesn't offer anything new that something else or someone else doesn't do in the game already.

Karma doesn't need another numbers buff that will result in the game state she is in now. Karma's Manta abilities have been buffed and reworked more than 15 times the past 5 years. There is an actual problem with the champion and they don't have to bring back old abilities and themes to actually make her better. Karma doesn't need a rework that is completely one sided with hardly any changes to the kit itself. Karma needs an actual gameplay identity as opposed to one ability being changed and Developers telling the community they are giving her a gameplay identity and looking out for every single Karma player. They aren't. The Karma rework is the same excuses, half arsed work ethic, and numbers buff she has been getting for the past 5 years. It will be nerfed and she will be in the same state she has been in since the very beginning. Until these Developers actually work on making this champion better and doing something meaningful, she will continue to be in the pathetic state she is in.
All of Karma's Mantra needs to have a dual purpose that fits an actual gameplay identity. Front loading damage into Karma's only damage hitting move that has horrible functionality, is not improving the champion. Nerfing the movement speed and making AOE shielding different is still the same concept that exists in the game already and has yet to do any good for Karma.
Hold Developers accountable and make your voices heard. It's high time that champions like Karma, Wukong, Morde, Malzahar and so many others actually start getting work done on them as opposed to excuses.
