Karma rework

I just want to ask Rioters what happend to that Karma changes that were teased a while ago? Because it seems that they were scrapped and nobody mentions any Karma changes at all. Why Riot hates on Karma so much? Wukong right now on PBE gained second passive and Karma current one is basicly not existing and lackluster. Don't get me wrong Cd reduction for her Mantra is a great thing to have but it feels more like it could be moved as a passive to her R. Lux gained similar ability to her ult some time ago (reduced cd on kill). So could Riot consider Karma changes? Maybe revert her rework and try working with that? Her older abilities seemed to have more in common with concept of Karma anyway (what goes around comes around) since every ability had a defensive and offensive effect. Her current kit looks like a failed try to create a Mage + Support hybrid. That unfortunately means that Karma is not very good in any of these roles. Why would I play Karma mid lane if there are many other and better mages. Why would I play her as Support when Lulu or Janna do the same things Karma does even better. Janna even pokes harder with her W now than Karma does and it seems that poke is a core part of Karma's gameplay. Please consider giving Karma some love.

I love Karma. I wish they would stay away from her on the whole but they could do minor things to buff her up since she is definitely on the weak side. Just hopefully not a rework of any sort or she will be either so OP she will be perma-banned and then gutted, or she will be trash.

Meanwhile at Riot HQ:

Karma? Who's that?

It seem the riot who worked for the idea of new karma get ignored, because the riot's headquarter priorities more important skins/event projects that can profit the game instead of little idea of one riot. I feel bad for that Rioter.

Ithink karma is great. Her weaknesses are really creeps moving in her way.

Maybe add some versatility to her leash, like maybe adding a big slow to it, or making it stun instead of root.

Karma needs work similar to what Rengar and Leblanc got, and Zac is getting.

Karma was in a mechanically healthier state before 5.10, so those changes should be reverted with tweaks to her passive and W.
