@riotrickless From a 300+ ranked games Karma main, thank you

I wanted to thank you for addressing a serious issue with my favorite champion and not letting her slowly die away/be ignored.

I also wanted to thank you for posting multiple iterations of the Karma mini-rework and listening to the community. The fact you have done this tells me you truly want what is best for Karma. Each iteration has gotten successively better. I felt a bit uncertain about the first one, a bit better about the second, now with the third one, I feel quite good about it, and here's why:

I play Karma both mid/top and as a support and sometimes jungle. However, I mostly play her mid/top now because yes, she is not the best support at the moment. She lacks the utility or scaling of other mage supports like or .

The changes to her R-W and R-E on the PBE are better than people realize. Her R-W STILL has its heal, and now roots for longer. It was always a bait type skill; you never use R-W for the bonus dmg except in rare circumstances or early game. Now you will bait even harder with the heal and longer root.

I'm not sure people realize how enormous the new AOE shield on her R-E actually is...but I'm really excited for it. I hope the duration lasts slightly longer, though. The loss of damage is more or less offset by the buff to her passive, which will help her in other ways late game.

With regard to solo lane Karma, I am LOVING the buff to the AP ratio on her W (from 0.6 to 0.9) because this means solo lane Karma will be left more or less unaffected.

The main thing solo lane Karma loses with these changes is the additional wave clear from R-E (which not many people even know about or use). She can still wave clear fine with her Q and R-Q. However, her main combo, Q-W-RQ now has been buffed by 0.3 AP scaling which is fairly significant.

To anyone else reading this, please take a moment to read the details of the changes and think about their impact before complaining. It's not perfect; but the Karma we know right now isn't perfect either! (If the Karma we knew was the one rickless is suggesting, and the Karma we have was the proposed change, people would still complain).

Thanks rickless for helping out Karma and keep up the good work.
