Jungle Karma - What was the point?

After the W change to affect monsters, I tried to jungle with Karma.

TBH its was a pointless change because its the exact same thing as before. Her clears are still horrible, her sustain is still horrible, Mantra has too much CD early for the change be any worse before 10min in. You need a ridiculous leash if you want to not use your 2 HP pots at Blue.

And you need to rush Athene's, because Nomicon's mana regen is not enough.

It's not really meant to make her a viable jungler. It was done to provide a slight boost in damage and sustain for the bot lane when they take Gromp/krugs/red and to provide a little more utility when she's taking objectives (largely meaning Dragon or Baron) with her team.

Karma jungle isn't really meant to farm all game... You get the buffs and you gank, pretty much.

Her clears are easier and faster now - I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. You must not practice enough with her and aren't very familiar with her kit. All she needs is a tear early game or a rush into RoA after the smite item (think like Nidalee) and she will be fine mana-wise for the game.

Also, these changes were not like Nidalee's changes. They were not meant to promote "karma jungle new meta" - they were meant to give her more damage to objectives and such. Karma mains were already jungling before W was added to the mix - the changes just made jungling much easier.
