I'm not sure how I should feel about this.

As we all know, Karma is crazy powerful but she doesn't go overboard. No one on here has talked about nerfing her, ever since I've come on here. If a person has, then I'm sorry for missing the post. Still though, for them to try this doesn't seem nice as I felt Karma was finally getting in a nice place.

There is the buff to her passive, and her Q is left alone, but the nerf to her W and a compensated E seem to make me a little sad.

I'll live I guess with a lesser E but the W now being able to target minions will only make it harder on Karma. There are times I'd like to target a minion with W but... I'm also going to miss the extra damage for W (which I had few times to try) as you do gain back 20% of your health, but you gain an extra for being able to snare the enemy. Now you have no reason anymore. You can just W them while on R and you don't even deal bonus damage or heal for a bonus amount. If I do insnare a enemy, how wide is the range for my partner to get a bonus? Because if its a small area, this is a nerf to Karma who seems to be doing well as of now.

I don't understand how a mid lane Karma will hold now. Her support was fine, and so far, its not even changed how she helps. It may have even hurt her supporting a little, even with the debuffs her W can do now.

Just when I started liking to play as her, you're doing what you did to Veigar and Ryze to her. I would rather you guys at Riot play as her in her current kit for a while just to see if it really needs these changes rather than pinpointing a new W and E for a champion that does the best she can right now with her current W and E.

Karma's kit is not at all all over the place and is very fair. Her normal Q is not hard to miss, her W is easy to run away from (especially with flash), and her E doesn't do anything to you. Her R's Q is her compensation for a ultimate; Gnar Jayce Nidalee Udyr.

Her W is ONLY ONLY ONLY buffed, the only nerf thing is the removal of damage on Mantraed E

Please take another look at the picture, it clearly states that both bonuses (the heal and damage) are removed from the W. Though she still gets 20% for initiating with her R+W she doesn't get the other 20% now and just deals the same damage on her W. But, if you don't believe me, just wait for it yourself.

She is healed 40% of her missing health in 2 20% chunks. That's really only beneficial when you are low on health.

The 10% extra damage applies to ALL damage and not just Karma's, which means her early W damage was nerfed but insanely buffed later on. The target is now leeched for 20%. That last part is just...wow.

Yes, give the mid 20% SpV and the ADC 20% LS. Totally not a buff.

Don't forget to mention the loss of bonus damage on her W. That loss of 300+ damage you can now never deal again.

Except if your team deals 3k raw damage in the same time frame, which is completely feasible with an ADC.

As a solo laner, she heals for 20% of her W's damage, +20% of the Q she puts right after, +20% of her autoattack damage, +20% of the damage form the ganking jungler.

Mid Karma is ruined. She will heal 0 on her own, won't be able to duel and sustain. Her E allowed her to still go all in if her Q was blocked by minions and come out on top. She won't have that anymore. Basically completely team dependent support.

I like it. I feel like Mid Karma will function a lot like Mid/Top Lulu - yes you'll have less kill potential/dueling power but you won't need it, by late game you'll be an insane utility machine who can choose between a giant AOE shield/Sivir ult, 10% damage amp and healing for everyone on your team against a target or the same massive damage Q you've always had. She's not necessarily worse as a solo laner, she's just more of a mid lane support than an AP carry.
