@Meddler About this Karma buff

> Gathering Fire (Passive) cooldown reducing effect changed from 2/2.5/3 (1/1.25/1.5 for basic attacks) to 2/3/4 (1/1.5/2 for basic attacks)

Would have much preferred to see her gain more means of proccing her passive, rather than just buffing the passive itself. Perhaps make her tether a DoT again? Could give her W back the 3 ticks, or even give her 4 or 5 ticks to reward her more for committing to a fight. Perhaps give RE its damage back so it can interact with her passive again?

I know this is meant to be a temporary buff to hold her until she can be worked on, but this along with the Ultimate Hat rune just seems excessive. At this point I think a small buff to her E would have been a better band-aid than this.

Eh we don't know in what state Ultimate Hat will ship. It might not stay as it currently is.

It could be heavily nerfed from here till launch, so I'm fine with this passive buff until they figure out (oh riot) where they're comfortable having the power of hat be. Plus the runes won't even hit till the season ends. We'll get this buffs to tide us over for two patches basically, so she's not sitting at 42-47% win rate.

She needs a general buff and this is the most... general part of her kit, I guess? But meddling (heh) with the passive seems troublesome, since this can go overboard quickly. Machine gun playstyle incoming. Maybe tank Karma returning. Support Karma getting closer to a perma shield...

Personally I would prefer some more evenly spread buffs to some safer numbers, like shield values, damage values, etc. Even removing the W casting time would probably be more safe.
