Am I the only one who likes Traditional Karma's voice WAY more?

Look; I don't hate Karma's current voice AT ALL. It's not bad! It's just so... bland? I can't think of a good way to explain it. Traditional Karma's voice is so... unexpected, for lack of a better word. It's a voice that sounds so unique and odd that it makes her seem so much cooler. Her new voice isn't as exciting and doesn't seem to hold anywhere near as much passion. Not only this, but it also doesn't include the three Ionian words: "Saera, Phyla, and Jia." All of these words that she said after her Mantra were REALLY cool, and now not even Tradtional Karma has them! I hope we can perhaps revert Karma's voice to what she originally sounded like and also include those three Ionian incantantions; it gave her passion and made her much more exciting versus what she is now. Anyone else agree?

Let me further explain. If you were to travel to Ionia, land of spirituality and prosperity, and met with someone who was recognized globally as a "Life coach of the spirit", tell me; is Karma's current voice the voice you would expect? Yes!!! Exactly! She shouldn't have a voice you expect out of someone; it makes her bland! Her old voice is NOTHING you would EVER expect out of a spiritual leader or anything of the sort. That's what made it so incredibly and pleasing to hear! This is why I want traditional Karma so bad; it sounded wonderful and made her so much more entertaining to use! Please consider this Riot; I beg you! In fact, I'm sure there are others who really want this as well! Please, even if you don't do any further gameplay changes to Karma for the sake of enhancing her duality aspect, at least change her voice back to the way it used to be!!

Very much agree. Loved the old Karma in general. I loved the whole fan theme that she had and she lost that completely when they updated her. I as well miss her old voice with the three Ionian word to make it super passionate feeling. I do like her new voice thought. It's not as good but it does the job.

Yes! Her fan thematic was very pleasant and I would love to see further incorporation of that as well, but considering Riot has changed Karma at all after she was updated regardless of the community backlash, I'm trying to start out small and see if they could at least make a minor change like this :P. Let's hope for the best :D!

Traditional Skins were such a cool concept It's a shame they refuse to ever make any again

I honestly do not like Traditional Karma's voice. She has weird inflections during a lot of lines that just make the quotes sound awkward. It sounds like the actress hasn't voice acted much. However, I don't feel Karma's current voice would fit Traditional Karma.

But is Karma's voice being expected a bad thing? I don't think so. Isn't that the case for a lot of characters? I really like Karma's voice. I like how it's kind of raspy and low.

I definitely see your point for the first part; her voice does have weird times where it just doesn't sound right. So I can totally see your reluctance. I suppose I just don't like Karma's voice being expected since I guess it makes her sort of boring? I fully realize other champions are like this as well, I just find her original voice fascinating since it's so different and unique I suppose.

I honestly wish they kept her design. Her old design fit her so much better, she's supposed to be a yin-yang sort of champion, and her new design is just some weird strong lady from Ionia.
