Riot, I'm begging you. Do something about Karma.

I understand that you guys are really busy, and I appreciate all you do for this game, truly. But I can't help but feel like I along with many other dedicated players have been left in the dust. We've been asking for SOMETHING to help Karma out for YEARS now. I'm tired of half-assed answers, I'm tired of "maybe in the near future"s, I'm tired of random nerfs to her kit with absolutely zero communication to her playerbase. I'm just tired. I started playing Karma right when I joined League. I don't play League for ranked or anything, but it's a nice distraction from my everyday life that's not so nice. When I found out about mage-supports, I instantly fell in love. I tried Zyra, Syndra, Brand, all of them, but only one really stood out to me -- and that was Karma. I fell in love with her kit, design, playstyle, lore, voiceover, and everything else about her. I soon found myself an owner of all of her skins, and I have Mastery 7 on her. I even see parts of myself in her, as I tend to be on the more spiritual side of things, and she really inspires me. I love playing her mid, top, or support. But I'm tired. Karma has fallen into some out-of-meta crevice for a while now, and the removal of her shield bomb did NOTHING to help. Now, you take her cool lore and make it something generic and bland, basically taking everything good about new Karma and transplanting it over to Irelia. This will sound dramatic but I honestly feel like I'm watching someone die. Watching your favorite champion since Season 4 deteriorate and progressively get worse and worse with no help from Riot feels awful. I still play her every day because she is the only satisfaction I get out of this game anymore but please. Do SOMETHING. Listen to her playerbase. Talk to us. Don't be in denial about her issues, they're so glaring and so in need of fixing. Can I please get a Rioter response? Anything? Please do something to her kit to make it better. Whether it be more cc, giving back her shieldbomb, or even another mini rework, I don't care. Just something. item 3070 Karma item 3070

As a top lane Garen main I hate her, but I fully understand why she just isn't good in other areas. I honestly hope to see her on that rework list sometime, and I wish you and the other Karma mains the best of luck.

I don't appreciate Meddlers 'professionalism' in ignoring these Karma posts. And conveniently he's away on vacation and there's no one to fill the gap of his absence either.

100% Agree! Also I'm gonna just add one little thing.... LISSANDRA!!!!!!! DID YOU GUYS FORGET ABOUT LISSANDRA?!??!?!?

Mages like Karma, Zyra, and Lissandra are just not as important as Tanks, Assassins, or Marksman.. CLEARLY.

I just want a champion that is complete and gets the same amount of treatment that Ahri gets for three patch cycles now and Ryze with his constant work and 2 VGU.

I thought she was good right now? Been seeing alot of karma mids with ludens doing tons of damage recently.

Edit: TBH THO, tank karma is nasty sometimes.

Off topic but wtf did they rework her for? Old Karma was cool as fuck. Now I get why Karma mains are so upset; she's so boring compared to what she used to be.

I'm so sorry for the Karma community for this complete injustice.

Karma is legit one of the most frustrating champs to deal with in this game as a melee, especially with that obnoxious tanky build. She could probably use another rework honestly.

I feel like Karma could use an Aatrox-level rework to her kit.

She needs her fans back, a lot more animations (Shield and running animation specifically), and a general touch up to her kit.

Karma isn't a bad support though... her ult shield is busted because it can shield her entire team, and she has pretty low cooldowns. Then again, most heal / shield supports are busted because of Ardent, so I guess she's a little worse than Janna, Lulu, Nami. But she's nowhere near "getting worse and worse".

Karma has one of the most broken early games, wtf.

That champion does not need buffs

HarrisonOwns4/3/2018, 1:19:02 AM3 votes

Did you just list " I tried Zyra, Syndra, Brand" as if these are supports?

That's your problem. You don't even know what a support is.

Her kit is overloaded as it is. She needs a complete rework and a ton of bloat taken out of it.

I've been playing her since her release and haven't had any complaints so far (besides the fact that her passive is really bad). She's fun, strong and cool. I don't care if something is "not meta". Couldn't care less about that. I always find a way to make things work. And it's not like she's weak and I'm just forcing my way to make her work. I genuinely think she's strong, but maybe that's just me :o. Buffing her would make her unnecessarily "overpowered". Just look at what they did to Swain with those unnecessary Q buffs.

No hard feelings. Just my two cents.

RIP shield bomb though.

Karma is one of the most versatile champions there is. Only thing I'd ask from Riot is to remove that abomination called tank Karma.

T4underbolt4/3/2018, 10:13:23 PM2 votes

Are you kidding me? Tank karma butchering top lane while being immortal and still dealing DMG. Mid karma going support items and still poking half of your hp with one Q shielding everyone and healing them for entire health bar. Karma needs nerfs if anything not buffs.

I rarely play her at all anymore.
