I Think It's Safe to Say Riot Doesn't Care Anymore With Karma

The VGU almost 7 years ago has left Karma in a perpetual state of being incredibly overbearing to play against or severely lackluster. Karma is not even a thought unless something in her kit (or if shield enhancing itemization is overpowered) is massively buffed. Let's also add in the fact that her animations, model, and voice over was all rushed for the sake of annoying the longtime Karma mains.

Riot Game Developers waited too long to address Karma's issues and have removed everything from her kit and art that was fun and iconic. The new Karma mains are the vast majority of the playerbase now and they will attack, belittle, and downvote something that takes away from what we have with Karma today. In terms of art, game balance, and thematic . . . . Karma is probably one of the worst characters in the game. Riot Game Developers missed the mark majorly with Karma and they know it, but instead of addressing these issues they waited 7 years and gave nothing but excuses. Riot had the time to do something and Meddler, Reav3s and now Scruffy and making nothing but excuses and sucking on their thumbs.

Karma's Problems:

• No cohesive gameplay identity. Karma's Mantra abilities and passive are the major issue with this.
• No original concepts within Karma's kit that would make someone play her over someone else that does her basic and Mantra abilities better.
• Rushed art that is lackluster and poorly conceptualized. I mean some of Karma's skins could be amazing if they were done correctly, but her model was changed at the last minuet and it was never completed to begin with.

Riot's Problems:

• Not willing to double down on Kamra's problems and making excuses.
• Not willing to take blame for their mistakes and rectify them but showing us a great work ethic.
• Not willing to work on problem champions like Karma when they know she has poorly conceptualized art assets and kit problems that they created.
• Riot acknowledging they created three different types of Karma players and not doing anything about it but sucking their left thumb.
