Am I the only one who thinks Karma W is bland and should be completely reworked?

This is something majority of the people who play Karma agree with. Along with bringing shield-bomb back, it's the most requested mechanic for a change. Riot NeuroCat said that she will have a look at Karma's kit and see what could be reworked and only then we will see if her W/RW was. So be patient my friend.

Yep. Karma combos are bland alright.

presses W walks around awkwardly for two seconds target is rooted, fires mega Q point blanc "Gotcha! Outplayed."

No. Her Q is bland.

God yes, point and click delayed Hard CC that doesn’t feel rewarding to use or to be used on. Her Q may be bland but it’s at least a skillshot and continuous damage, E is alright, and ultimate is interesting.

A her passive only really effects her ultimate and doesn’t effect the way you play her at all which is really dumb.

I think it should get the same kind of range as LeBlanc W, seeing as they're basically the same ability. LeBlanc even has a dash to make sure her enemies stay within the tether.

Whether this means nerfing LB's range or buffing Karma's, I'm all for it.

Lb need to hit her skill shoot, karma doesnt. That why there a range different, imagine karma can active her w in 700 range. Like you asking lux root to be as equal as morgana and zyra.

Oh yeah cause it's so hard to land a skillshot when you can dash directly onto someone.

And Lux Q, Morgana Q and Zyra E are all already pretty equal. What they lack in duration they make up for in piercing power. With LB there's really no tradeoff.

What your meaning of equal are making lux and zyra root all has 2.5 secs root duration. Each root has it own duration and range depend on how easy it can proc and how many times it can proc. Making Lb's E and Karma's W same range doesnt make it equal.

Aside from her ult/passive, which are interesting in their own right, all her spells are bland.

Q is a generic skillshot nuke with a slow attached. E is a shield with a minor haste attached. W is the most unique out of her basic abilities, but even then it's just a mashup of LB chains and Noc fear unless you Mantra it.

She needs another full on VGU, preferably one that brought back some of the interesting nuances of the old Karma. Now that Riot has broken out of their shell with "risky mechanics" (Bard ult/E, Kindred ult), I don't think it's out of the question for Karma to have some interesting stuff.
