Riot Developers "In Hindsight We Should've Listened to Karma Mains"
You should have listened when you removed her fans, you should have listened when you removed her dress, you should have listened when you removed her thematic, you should have listened when you removed her shield bomb, and you should have listened when the community told you not to change her lore and make her into nothing but a passive monk. You were told all of this and you know better from previous work done on her, but you continued to do what you want and allow Developers who don't care about the champion or mains that actually care about her . . . to make drastic changes. Meanwhile, everything Karma mains loved about Karma is now on Ivern, Irelia, and future work on champions because Karma cannot have a single thing in her kit, theme, lore, and art that is original to Karma and is complete. This is all because no one on the Development team wants to listen to the players that actually care about the champion . . . but think so highly about the new Karma players who ditched her when her Mantra E was nerfed.
This is five years in the making and now the only thing keeping Karma relevant in the game is her balance. She has been sitting at the same play and winrate for years now and it was only changed when her Mantra E was buffed for the wrong reasons. The real fans and mains of Karma do not like her and have not liked her for the past 5 years. Every single Developer is aware of this but Ahri is getting 3 patch cycles worth of work now and Lux is going on 5 months. BE DONE WITH WORK ON POPULAR CHAMPIONS AND STOP SAYING YOU FEEL SORRY ABOUT NOT WORKING ON SPECIFIC CHAMPIONS.
What are you doing with Karma? The lore team just basically did what every other Developer has done with Karma: not communicate about the work they are doing with her and apologize that it didn't meet the mark. You know the Karma mains loved her fans, dress, shield bomb, thematic, and a lore that didn't depict her as a passive monk that sits in one spot and does NOTHING. It's like you know what needs to be done on her and what the fans want done on Karma, but you keep trying to justify past work done on Karma because you are too stubborn to make good changes on her. Do what needs to be done on Karma and get it over with.
Bring back her fans, dress, shield bomb, work on her animations, work on SOME theme, and fix that depressing lore you know is an issue. DO SOMETHING ON THIS CHAMPION OTHER THAN SAYING YOU ARE SORRY, THERE WAS A SECOND OPTION, OR YOU THERE IS NOTHING CAN DO FOR HER. Her winrate and playrate say otherwise. The Karma mains who have been playing Karma since release say otherwise.
) he will abuse it the best because of this). The only thing they could do to compensate for nerfing or changing his ultimate(if they ever do) is give him better ratios on E or W(until now anyways). His W only has an AP ratio(and basically needs someone to outplay themselves for it to hit them) , his E has hybrid ratios but the ratios already aren't bad on it. If they nerfed his ultimate(possibly removing on-hits from the clone or something), he would become gutter trash even when on-hit items were really strong. He quite literally is only strong when items are strong, and when they're not he is probably one of the worst champions, if not the worst champion in League because he doesn't really have any abilities outside of his E(which is only good late game with any build), unless he builds AP, and he doesn't get enough out of AP to warrant building it either.
