What is going on with Karma?

Hello, my name is CMoney55 and I am a platinum Karma main. I was wondering if Karma is going to receive buffs anytime soon. She performs dismally in mid, top, and is a barely functioning support. Don't get me wrong, I love the champion, but I just think she is so weak at the current moment. Any re-works/buffs coming to her soon? She is in a really bad state at the moment. Does anyone agree/disagree?

Yeah she's in a bad place and is about to receive a nerf to her shield duration (4s > 2.5s).

Riot is deciding whether to prioritise Leblanc/Ranger scale work on her, or bandaid buff her.

It's safe to assume they'll go with the bandaid buffs and ignore her until she eventually becomes a problem again.

No, but she is getting her Shield duration nerfed.

From Meddler's Quick Gameplay Thoughts (June 8)

Karma - Likely she'll be one of the most in need of work post 8.12 heal/shield changes. Penciling her in for a look as a result.

She's getting a band-aid fix. Riot has shown that no matter how much they say they want to work on her, it is always counter productive work that gets reverted or nerfed. They would rather take everything away from her and put it on new champions that actually work on her. It's not happening and she will get pushed back another year for another rework on some popular champion. Riot Games doesn't care.

Her overloaded cancer kit needs a rework

seriously though supports were never a problem it was top mid bot jungle that needed balancing.
