@Meddler When is Karthus going to see some love?

Karthus has not been looked for a while now, and he is not played that much. His ult is very weak in his early game. Players with heals or other spells just wait for the ult. He feels so useless sometimes. The main spell that makes him worth for me is his slow.

Its meant to feel underwhelming early, no doubt its a near 1 shot late xD all his spells are tuned greatly.. but there are better mid picks

His spells don't do much really. Just having a little bit of MR makes his Q tickle. Don't know were you see his spells being greatly tuned.

You need to stack mr to deal with just his q and r, his w and e still destroy (yesh it is a MASSIVE slow that reduces mr)

Not by much. Plus he is one of the easiest champs the feed off of early.

Karthus has literally the highest damage dealt of any champion in the entire game.

He may have problems, but his damage isn't one of them.

Also, reducing MR by 15% isn't decreasing it "not by much".

15% is not much. Vi's can do 20%. Besides Karthus Mana burns the fastest. I still don't see much Karthus brings to the game Even if you play well and get fed. I still see him being very weak for his kit.

Armour isn't MR though. Are there any other champ abilities that take away more MR save Trundle's ult?

He brings more damage than literally every other mid laner in the game. His team fight presence is huge, and focusing him is a heavily risky prospect because of his passive, which allows him to do even more damage.

His weakness is one of the weakest laning phases in the game.

More damage? Hmm. I Have played a few games with him not a lot and I can say lux,Malz,and many others out damage him by a lot on the charts. I do get your point with the Mr though.

lux

Wat? A Lux is NEVER EVER gonna do as much damage in a teamfight as Karthus. She may have better burst, but in Late Game, when DPS matters... oh boy.

I'd wait until after the AP item Changes. It looks like the Tear RoA combo is going to get a lot Stronger.

That's because he doesn't need love.

He just doesn't. Stop crying about it. His ultimate? Weak? Yea right don't make me laugh

He does not need damage bufffs but i think move speed while activating E would be very cool. He already has no escape and strong burst so this would be okay i think.

Karthus is getting some love with the upcoming AP changes. His Q can now be a near permaslow at all times.
