Karma's R-W Snare Should Activate Faster

Sugar Momma·Feb 4, 2016·5 votes·642 views

Adjust/lower the heal if necessary (best case, have it heal 15% at the start, 25% at the end).

The snare should activate on R-W after 1 second, as opposed to 2 seconds for regular W.

This would be a great buff for support (which has been in need of some help for a while) since she rarely uses R-W mid/top anyway. At the moment, she never uses it as support either, since she's too squishy to survive when it's needed and W + R-Q provides equal lockdown and more dmg, and is more reliable.

With this buff R-W will actually have more thought behind using it, and the increased snare duration will be a bigger factor in that decision.

The shortened time to activate the root should be implemented. All of her spells have "quick, effective" feels to them (RQ in burst, RE in shields) but RW seems like a sluggish (while powerful) heal and snare. Despite the snare time, it takes a bit too long to activate.

Changing it to 1.5s with a 35% missing heal heal over the duration seems effective and fits into her style without sacrificing too much of her potential.

1.5 sec would be great too

Its very important for sustaining as Karma Jg but I do agree this would be an appreciated buff

Yeah, but at the moment it's only used for sustain or to survive when low, not for the increased root.

karma just needs a lot of changes. not a total rework. but some sort of a mini rework. to her snare. her shield. and her Q. her shield is too weak. her snare is too situaitonal and its not nearly a reliable cc .

I think this change to her snare would be a huge step forward.

Her shield is fine; it has the lowest CD of any shield in the game and its speed boost keeps her unusually mobile for a mage. Her R-E is also the strongest shield in the game.

i find her whole kit is good and the R-W is the strongest part imo counters burst so well which is most champions. You have to use it "slightly" predictively when they approach to all in (shield, mantra w, q for slow and auto) but you can win almost any trade even as a support.
