Old karma spotlight shows how balanced was the damage compared to now

Seriously, just check this video https://youtu.be/clMEu39Iydc?t=2m21s People actually surviving for longer than 2 seconds. These days damage is higher at the start of the game than in the past at 2-3 items. Riot removed skill to make the game "fun"

Funny thing is that the karma was fed and she couldn't burst people as fast as we can these days.

In the current LoL, the 3 enemies would just dive Karma and Shen would taunt Karma while she died the instant right after Shen connects with her.

And needless to say, all of the 3 would walk off the turret just fine after deleting Karma.

I miss those days! While it was after this video you once could build offtank Bard and proceed to deep ward, flank for stuns, and generally be pure utility rather than so damage focused & squishy like he is right now. Runes Reforged ruined so many things...

A mage can't burst down 2 tanks and a drain tank while her tank jungler joins in

I agree damage is too high but this is ridiculous.

She somehow stayed alive in a 3v1 as a supp champ tho lul.

  1. This was because instead of Aftershock, we had a rune called Unyielding that raised your Defense/Resist when you took damage, not when you dealt it.

  2. Adcs and Mages actually built hybrid builds back then. They hadn't realized yet that damage beats defense more when you build more of it. Adcs actually built some tank items, which haven't changed much over time. The only thing that changed was Fleet Footwork/Warlord's Bloodlust, and a reduction in the ability of mages to heal themselves.

  3. Current Karma can still do this. But the name of the game is mobility, not slow tank. Current Karma can run 700 move speed and dodge skill shots like Neo in the Matrix. I often get off 8-11 Auto attacks in addition to my skills in between dodging skill shots with her. If you die on current Karma, you're doing something wrong. (The drawback being, even though she's an outplay champ, she has limited capacity to carry a bad team/destroy large minion waves faster than the other team can advance).

No one is gonna say anything about how the turrets are doing chip damage? Or how they are obviously worse then right now? Or how 3/3 isn't fed but she has a huge level lead over them and 3 champions, including a full AP Gragas couldn't kill her in a 1v3.

"three tanks do little damage"

yes. Correct. Appropriate assessment.

EDIT: also karma has like a 4 level lead. Nowadays if you have a 4 level lead your basically invulnerable to whoever you're fighting.
