@Meddler & @Reav3 - Karma is Not a Full-Fledged Support Here is why.
You label her as a mage on your main site. Wikipedia lables her as a mage and then controller. You admit years ago that she was intended to be played as a support, but that wasn't actually where people were playing her. As a mage, Karma has one damage ability and that is Q and Q+R, which falls off greatly after level 6. Karma has nothing else in her kit that plays like a mage. You purposely removed her AP scalings as a mage throughout the game. You purposely removed her shield bomb that did damage to enemies. You purposely created support Karma when you label her as a mage, when you have openly admitted that she was played more in top and mid before her rework . . . . and you fail to do any work on her in the past 4 years to restore her as a mage. You are promoting the most boring and unthematic playstyle on her by forcing her to sit in the back, spam E+R, buy shield enhancing items to further force her shield-bot playing style, and purposely ignore the fact that after level 6 she does hardly any damage to anyone but a squishy target . . . . .
> Originally envisioned as a support, Karma’s fringe successes actually came from players using her in the top or mid lanes as an AP burst mage with support abilities, much like Zilean or Morgana. We like this direction and want to encourage you to boost both her offensive and support abilities by building AP. We also want to make sure she can hold her own as a solo or with a lane partner. > > Finally, we’ve updated her skills so allies are reliant on Karma, but Karma’s not reliant on them. She’s got enough power at her fingertips to feel strong as a mage or as a support without teammates having to work in perfect concert for you to be effective."
Fix the labeling on your website so Wikipedia and other resources will say she is nothing more than a shield bot support . . . . or restore parts of her current kit to that of a mage. Laziness, hypocritical responses, and excuses are not doing you any justice with your comments saying you care about the champion or her REAL mains. There is work you can do right now, minor work, that would restore her identity as a mage but also make her role as an enchanter different and more fun. There is nothing fun about sitting in the back, spamming one button after level 6, building shield enhancing items, and ignoring her presence as a mage when you have labeled her as a mage. There is work you can do RIGHT NOW that can satisfy her role as a mage so when you can be bothered to give Karma another VGU to correct mistakes your previous Game Developers ruined on her. There are things that work great on new Karma. There is a lot that changed her too much, took away too much from her, and you are ignoring it. Fix it.
