Another Karma Idea
So I had another bout of wanting to rework Karma, and came up with a simple idea:
Summary:
The raw shielding of her E is now her ally W and the amount is buffed a bit, while her E only grants movement speed and some other buff.
Her shield bomb is also restored in her new Mantra ally W, with a radius that is significantly smaller than Defiance.
Numbers are definitely open to change. edit: maybe throw in physical damage reduction on her new ally W as well
Specific Example:
E - Now grants movement speed and adaptive force. Current movement speed bonus + 5/10/15/20/25 + 0.2 AP adaptive force (for 1.5 seconds)
Mantra E - Grants a bit extra adaptive force to the primary target and the normal amount to nearby allies plus the movement speed to all of them. 10/15/20/25 + 0.1 AP additional adaptive force bonus to primary target Normal adaptive bonus to target and nearby allies Normal movement speed bonus to target and nearby allies
W - Shielding moved to ally/self cast W. Shielding amount buffed. Shielding amount buffed to 70/105/140/175/210 + 0.5 edit: 75/135/190/245/300 + 0.4
Mantra W - on ally/self cast increases the shielding and deals AoE damage around the target within a certain radius. (Her Mantra E defiance radius is 600 while her Mantra Q radius is 280. Obviously if the AoE damage was 600 like defiance that would be insane and reduce her Mantra CD by too much, but obviously this can be changed to like 420 or something.) Bonus shielding base amount nerfed to 25/50/75/100 + 0.2 AoE damage 60/100/140/180/220 + 0.9 AP
If you want to discuss this and/or support it so that it might catch Riot's attention, please do so. I put a decent amount of thought into it but I'm not going to explain everything in this post because walls of text tend to discourage discussion.
edit: Maybe add physical damage reduction to her new Ally W shield so it's not so plain. Someone a long time ago also mentioned adding AoE healing around Karma when she mantra W's an enemy and that's really interesting too.
