RIOT DONT BUFF KARMA’S DEFIANCE

Please as a Karma main I BEG YOU. Do not compensate her nerf with a buff to this brain dead ability. PLEASE. Late Game Karma support spams this too much for it to be reliably balanced no matter what flat buff you decide to give it.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD START WITH QUALITY OF LIFE BUFFS INSTEAD. Make her passive reduce a % of Mantra’s cooldown instead of a flat number so late game she’s not Mantra-big every four seconds, buff the damage of anything that’s not her Q or RQ’s initial blast, CHANGE HEALING VALUES ON RW SO SUPPORT/MID KARMA CAN USE IT MORE EFFECTIVELY. Anything but buffing RE. In fact just update her already.

Defiance is a pretty heavily loaded ability and you guys have had a terrible track record of changing it in the past. Let’s not forget in season 6 the overbuff you gave and the shieldbomb removal. Just. THINK. Long and hard before doing something so drastic it ends up putting Karma in an even worse position by the end of her balancing.

I've been playing Karma since season 2 . . . . not my main account. I can tell you that they will most likely be buffing her shield strength in some capacity. The only type of work they have done on her is with her shields. The Developement team has shown a clear history with working on her shields and then nerfing them a couple months later. History shows it and it is the truth.

Wouldn't exactly call you a Karma main.... given you've only played her 16 times the entire season, and only have a 50% with her.

She has no kit without her shield. Her Q doesn't kill (just wounds) and her W isn't enough to follow up. She has no actual R, or passive for damage. She basically has two abilities, with considerable cooldowns for what little opportunity they give.

2.5 seconds is nothing. 2.5 seconds drops off before an assassin even finishes his combo, forcing Karma to take full damage. An adc can hit her 3-4 auto attacks and catch up to her if the shield is reduced.
