I made a Petition for Karma fans who wish her old kit be reverted.

To revert Karma's changes to her Kit and Theme

edit - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CIWW1MEbUY her old champion spotlight. Ionian duchess royalty who had sass. And an awesome monochromatic theme.... (cough they said it didnt make sense for her yet they give it to lucian and hes black cough..... karma used to be black... cough)

From what i remember the reasoning behind her being changed was because her kit was heal-bait and her not having any hard cc. And at the time Zileas had just undergone a hissyfit tantrum about the mechanics he despises.

Players and her fans were only expecting a small buff to her kit, like adding snare to her tether and removing the casting time of it. not a complete revamp DESTROYING her beautiful monochromatic ionian duchess theme.

Now today, down the line, Ekko is released. Emphasizing heal-bait mechanics on his ultimate.

Please sign the petition if you want to stand up for old karma coming back to league... The only way i see it, she was murdered by riot and replaced with a doppelganger with the same name. They removed the old feeling of karma when they removed splash damage on her shield.

Its time to stand up to riot and their mechanic/kit changing ways. destroying champions and players hearts.

Sorry for rambling but i must add one more thing, about zileas hating mechanics and removing them from the game.... why even remove them if youre going to just slap them on someone new and call it a day.

tl;dr- GIVE US OLD KARMA BACK FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. I may get downvotes but i know im not the only one who feels this way :( I will continue to advertise this petition and if you agree with it i ask you TOOO to advertise it.

I know this thread is nearly two weeks old but I'm just gonna use this to rant and reminisce, downvote me to hell all you want I really don't care.

As much as I want it to happen, I know it never will. I loved old Karma so much, I played her all the time, then they completely destroyed what she was. Sure, she's more popular now, slightly. But she's not what she used to be. And you're right, she was heal bait, and now we have Ekko who is exactly that. There were so many other things they could have done. Changed her passive, make her W the only thing that is still similar to what she used to be what it is now without the heal. And now that I think of it she's STILL heal bait, her mantra W heals her, try to dive her, and she'll shield and Mantra W you, slowing you and healing her. And like I said before the CC problem could of been fixed by just adding a snare too her W at the end. So in the end, there was really no reason to rework her, all they did was break peoples hearts. The only reason they don't wanna revert it or at least make a new champion with her kit is because they know they fucked up and don't wanna admit it.

I remember me and a friend of mine, would go bot lane as karma and talon. we never lost that lane once. He'd blink in and ult as I would mantra shield him doing huge burst damage and preventing him from taking too much, I would then Tether him to speed boost us, he'd run past them to slow and damage them with the tether and I would Mantra Q if needed or just use the normal Q if not. That was the fun thing about Karma, she was Yin and Yang, her Q did damage, but with mantra it also healed, her W sped up allies and slowed enemies, and her shield would do a burst of damage when mantra'd. Now its, Q for damage and Mantra for an aoe that you might hit. W is the only ability that is almost the same in that it still slows enemies but I don't think you can tether allies anymore and the mantra give you a big heal, E, shield and speed, shield and speed for everyone... Yaaaaay. Oh and her passive, used to be a "Dive me I dare you" Passive, now it's, I can mantra a little bit more since they took away my two charges yaaaaaay. They literally could of just given her W a snare and maybe change her passive and she would have been fine. But instead of just trying those things out they decided it would be better to gut her and make her something completely different and have the audacity of instead of just throwing away the skin after gutting her to give people that owned her before it so they could wear the skin of a once unique champion while playing a fake.
