Does anyone else feel a 3.25s root is unnecessary for Karma?

I honestly don't see why she needs anything more than 1.5s, it just doesn't feel good, especially for a spell most people max last. I know I criticise Karma's 5.10 changes a lot because it took my favourite spell (shieldbomb), but seriously, that RW change was a massive reach.

Surely her power budget could better spent than this? The spell felt so much better when it had Mantra damage.

Yeh let's be honest it should be lower, but you will only see an r w in a 1v1 skirmish (for the heal). R Q or R E are still far better.

That's what's sad about it, RW is pretty much exclusively used for the emergency heal. At least when RW had extra damage you had to think about how you used it. The way Karma is right now, her Mantras don't allow for any real decision making its just; RQ before teamfight, RE during team fight and RW if you're about to die.

The only other time I generally used r w is to lock down a target during a gank.

Would gladly have rq damage nerfed to see more damage put into r w and maybe the old shield bomb back.

That root is kinda difficult to get.. you gotta keep them tethered for 3 seconds..

Morgana Have you seen her Root? xD

I know, and it still doesn't feel rewarding. Morgana makes great use of her 3s root with her W and R, Karma can only follow it up a Q and an auto.

I don't really use the RW combo for the root but for the healing it provides. Walk up at like no health, RW, gets free heal, root, and another heal. Enemy thinks you are just stupid when you're baiting the shit out of them.

we all are aware that while rooted you can still attack right?

So after Q she does what... auto attack twice to tickle her enemy? OK. My point is she doesn't need that long of a root.

Lol I think you may have misunderstood me, I'm speaking from Karma's perspective. I feel as if her extra root is a waste of her power budget and could be put to better use. I believe her RWs previous iteration which offered extra damage instead of an extra root was more rewarding.
