level one karthus ulti does like only 250 damage(+60% AP) before reductions and cooldown is 200 seconds. Early game, you don't have that much AP cause you need tear and shit, so that cooldown is just too long, lower the cooldown pls.

plastermold1 voteswaiting 200 secs just to ks one person is not that great, especially early on, when ur building mana rather than ap.
Eric Senpai1 votesWell of course you do less damage if you build mana, that's kind of the path you're taking you take scaling items. And 200 sec is pretty fair since it has a global presence.
plastermold1 votesit's just some damage though, not like twisted fate who can actually come in with stuns and shit to help, and tf's ulti has like 20/30/40 sec lower cd.
IcyPepper3 votesExcept he can't teleport to all five people at once.
The ability to hit five people at once with a total of 1000 + (300% AP) damage dealt with one spell that doesn't even need aiming.
That's deserves a high cooldown. At least Jinx's rocket can be dodged, and the enemies have to be grouped together in order to have that splash damage.
plastermold1 votesexcept early game people rarely group up, and so ult is typically used to help out only one lane at a time.
Truly Prideful1 votesSo you're saying his ult can guaranteed hit 5 targets for 250(+60%) without fail and it's not good as is? You can't say it doesn't do much because 'you need tear and shit'. That's a build choice you made, not part of his kit.
Lil Soybean1 votesAs a Karthus main, I really, really, really, really would hate this idea. The result would be Karthus becoming more popular and then inevitably being nerfed again. Please leave him as is. I'm already scared for his well-being since he was played some in LCS.
