Why the f*ck are we nerfing Karma?

Riot, I'm so angry. I main Karma, I have since S4. I've bought all of her skins. I love her more than anything, she has been and will always be my favorite and most versatile champ. Now this little fucker appears on PBE:

Inspire (E) Shield value lowered to 70/100/130/160/190 from 80/110/140/170/200 Can no longer shield minions. Mantra Bonus - Defiance (R+E) now has same movement speed as E shield (40/45/50/55/60%) instead of 60%.

What the hell? Why? You're completely missing the point. Karma needs less damage on her Ult-Q, and needs the power from that shifted to other parts of her kit. Either that, or just leave her alone as is. While her kit may not thematically be hitting the point too well, it is a quite healthy kit, both to play as and play against. However.. I'm honestly thinking of quitting League, these changes are so random and pointless, and you're absolutely destroying a great champ like Karma for no reason. She's not even that overpowered right now. Why not just wait to update her kit more and admit that you fucked up by adding too many changes to her? I really really don't understand this company anymore. And I'm so fed up.

Ever since they shitted on Karma with her initial rework because she was "too complicated" then turned around and made every champion complicated as fuck I gave up.

They're fucking idiots.

Because Riot is planning on becoming vary vary naughty with the upcoming assassin rework.

And they do not wish Karma to seek them out.

Riot has their own agenda. They are morons that refuse to listen to player feedback, word data in a way that benefits their own idiotic ideas, spend time working on Brand and Vel'Koz for no reason . . . . and just don't care about champions. They are complete morons. They can justify working on Lulu, Sona, Soraka and other enchanters but they cannot justify doing any work on Karma until an Ionian Event or the Enchanter Update. They can justify working on Ryze 6-7 times and working on champions part of the Enchanter Class, but they cannot find a reason to work on Karma outside of a numbers buff or nerf. They are all complete morons and a bunch of imbeciles.

They're reducing thr effectiveness of her shields because in higher end ranked, they're incredibly reliable and there's not a lot that counters a combo shield/speed boost for the entire team.

Her current problem isn't her damage since her only reliable damage is her Q. Her problem is her shield which I actually like how the nerfs were applied. I'm fine with the nerfs although I have mixed feelings on the shielding minions aspect, however, I understand why they're removing it.
