How Would Old Karma Fit Into The Current Meta?

I don't think we will ever get her back.

But it is fun to think how her kit and old numbers would be fairing right now in the current meta.

What do you all think?

Her old passive kinda could work in the game right now. Her current passive can easy be shifted as an passive to her ult honnestly.

I think she would be great as an anti-assassin

She'd probably still have a lot of problems, but I'd imagine she'd probably be an obnoxious anti melee top laner and anti assassin mid. She'd probably gain a little popularity from making Yasuo's life hell, as well as perhaps being a decent counter to champs like Fizz and Zed.

She's a little too immobile to be a direct counter to assassins but I think she decent against assassins. She would be a bit better against assassins if her auto range wasn't so piss poor. (It was like 475 if I remember correctly.)

She was just really fun to play imo, but she wasn't that strong, but she worked in certain aspects.

I mean, her stats would need some update, because they are ridiculous;

Her manacosts would be horrible (Q-95, W-115, E-120). Having a 40% slow that lasts for 5s would probably count as oppressive, especially since it can be cast on a 5.5s cooldown with max CDR (her Mantra could come down to 11s, so you could cast this 3 times in a row for 15s of unavoidable slows). This, while throwing out unavoidable 270+60%AP damagecones every ~3.3 seconds, that could outrange even Caitlyn. Her shield would be the strongest base shield in the game, lasting decently long and allowing a near perma shield. With 500AP she could heal her whole group by 135 +15% of their missing hp making her play with bruisers and tanks very viable.

I don't think there would be a lane where she couldn't play.

Probably toplane with all that waveclear, kiting and bullying would be her home?
Botlane she pushes the lane a bit too much and she has literally no hard CC.
In midlane she might get kited too much, but could probably work against most champions, especially assasins.
I can even see jungle as an option, but I don't know if she wouldn't just run out of mana too quickly.
