@Riot When will Karthus receive a buff in the future?

Hello everyone and welcome.

I remember when ult and ult could be cleansed via

That was removed by riot for the following reason...

An item countered the entire ultimate with no downside

Keeping this in mind I'd like to talk about how ult should be changed to either pierce spellshields in particular

or Karthus should receive Slows to his Q and E.

His E should also Tick at a faster rate. Similar to how got changed to tick at a faster rate. The damage stayed the same but it's much smoother now.

I propose Karthus gains an additional passive(in addition to death defied)

This second part of his passive should be

When Karthus hits an enemy they gain a stack of Dread. When the enemy reaches either 4-2 stacks or after 5-2seconds the stacks activate and slow the enemy for 30%-70%(all stats rise based on level).

The passive would be visually a skull that looms above the enemy Karthus hit. The skull will have the left eye flash when at one stack, Right eye flash at two stacks. At three stacks the Nose starts to flash. At four the skull explodes.

This passive would reward good Karthus players for hitting an enemy and being able to consistently hit an enemy as well as make more interesting interactions.

EXAMPLE INTERACTION:

midlane VS

throws Q

throws Q

Both Q's hit

The has a choice. He can try to cs like normal and risk being an easier target for thanks to the impending slow Or he can lose some CS but stay safe and wait until the slow dies down.

If decides to risk the damage for cs it would be a tense moment thanks to the feeling of "OK GOTTA DODGE THE Q... YES, YES" as well as creating a high moment for the if he hits the Q again.

If decides to lose CS and wait for the slow then can try and push his luck with more Q poke on

Right now all does is pressure an enemy with overwhelming damage. has such little utility that if you fall behind you become a puffball of tickles with pillows to throw at people from afar.

Since the changes... poor hasn't received a compensation buff.

It could be argued that it was oppressive on ... but it was oppressive on_** ALL MAGES**_ and not just

That's why I propose a buff to Karthus. Please riot get back to me and tell me why you haven't buffed yet...
