Alternative Karma Nerf

**Current changes on the PBE: ** RENEWAL(R-W) heal 15% missing health on cast and on root (Down from 20%)

My alternative nerf:

Nerf the first half of the Mantra W and transfer some of the power to the back half. Make it a 10% on cast then a 25% on root. That way you don't have a large insta-cast heal, as well as makes the root dynamic more interesting. Karma is rewarded more for hitting the root but punished harder for letting it get broken.

If you make the front half of the healing weaker Karma can not recklessly jump into a team fight at low health. They way she is now, you can flash in at 10% health and insta-ultW and be up to 40% instantly (with the right runes and build) Make the front half only 10% and she will have to make damn sure she can survive the 2 seconds for the root to hit or she is in deep trouble.

I will have to run the numbers on it but the 10%/25% split could heal you more than the 20%/20% split in some situations. But in most cases it would be less healing.** And in all cases it is more easily punished**. It will be easier to kill her in that 2 seconds before the big heal hits and if you do get away from the root she will be in a pretty bad place.

Yes the 10/25 split is less of a nerf than the 15/15 split on the PBE, but that is the numbers that I would like to see. You would still have less of a heal and more chance of counter-play.

Thoughts?

Seems like a good idea +1

I wish.

Riot just hates point and click.

My thoughts? Revert Karma to before 5.10 and give her an actual passive. Any passive will do, just one that isn't just used for her R refresh
