Can we get a Karma buff?

The only real combo she has is ult and Q Once it's mid to late game the snare is impossible to use (supports have to be able to help ADCs)

Karma buffs should happen to buff her midlane or really another role but not her support role. IIRC they had support buffs in PBE or planned and were met with generalized dislike due to introducing broken support mechanics like cooldown repartial refund on allies. The only real support buffs that can be done are shield number buffs and that starts another shielding arms race where Karma is only relevant if she has better numbers, so bad idea.

She needs a re-rework to ~~remove her from the botlane~~ un-disjoin her kit because as it is its a super binary support and whatever everything else, as she lacks meaningful choices and her ult choice is non-existant.

The cool down idea was a bad fit for Karma, but would you still disagree with an ally W if it was something more suited to her playstyle?

I couldnt mind at all, in fact I could like it, the issue is that a set of changes like that should probably get closer to a rework to give her the flexibility she had before and not just for a support use for W while the other roles Karma has get nothing. Specially if mid Karma gets nerfs because of this.

Karma needs a cohesive playstyle that works no matter where she is played.

The W was key to that, but unfortunately the wrong buff was chosen.
