Holy crap...... Serious QoL Karma buff?

Illabethe··5 votes·1,825 views

Inner Flame (Q) slow potency increased from 25% to 35%

Movespeed duration increased from 1.5 to 2.5 Mana cost lowered from 60/65/70/75/80 to 50/55/60/65/70


I know this doesn't look like much...... but omfg this is an OP buff for my girl..... all to sell a semi-ugly skin.....

Inner flame 10% Slow increase is huge. It's going to increase double Q hits by about 40% success. That's almost the equivalent of about a 15% damage increase over the course of a game!

The Move speed on E is going to be phenomenally broken. I'm already someone who can push 770 Move speed on Karma with her basic E. R > E + Nimbus Cloak puts me over 900 move speed briefly, and the overlap is now going to result in a move speed decay reset NO MATTER WHEN I USE E after I cast R....

I know this doesn't sound huge..... but it's basically up to a 4 second move speed buff that makes her arguably the fastest champion in the game (I can outrun Yi)

Good luck skill shotting Karma or her allies under this condition! This move speed buff is going to put her back in PRO PLAY.


I'm for this buff though. I want to play my pretty caramel skinned goddess again. My only concern: My hands getting carpal tunnel from all the macro/micro quick clicking Karma requires when played correctly.

That's not what QoL means. QoL is for a minor change that doesn't actually change anything about how the character functions (IE - making the visible area of Yuumi's Q brighter, or showing the max range a chargeable ability can go)

QoL changes are also small utility adjustments..... slows/move speed adjustments are generally considered QoL. If we were discussing shield strength or Q damage, that'd be a different story.

Not quite. A QoL buff would be an execute indicator, lux/gragas activating their round skills en route, syndra picking up nearby balls without having to click the ball itself ect This is a straight stat buff, a buff. Not a QoL change

And not a small stat buff at that...

Those are NOT a QoL changes.

QoL changes do NOT affect numbers or actual balance.
