Will we ever get Karma tether mechanic back in a tank-form?

Karma used to have some interesting mechanics. She's a good pick now, but a lot of her nice mechanics were lost when she was changed.

One of the main ones was a tether that affected anyone passing through it. When she was getting changed Riot mentioned that they thought the tether was interesting but was more suited to a tank.

For anyone unaware, Karma could create a tether between an ally or enemy (including minions), speeding them up or slowing them down. Any ally or enemy passing through the tether would also become faster or slower and take damage. When she ulted it the slow was doubled, hence "Karma always catches up to you" as she was sped up by 40% and they were slowed by 40%.

I honestly don't know why it couldn't fit a battlemage. You know, like the kind of mage that is supposed to stay in the MIDDLE of the battle. That has tools to survive there (like a heal or a shield, maybe both). A mage that has to decide when to use utility or damage. You know, like a nice mix of a battlemage and enchanter. Damn it would be great if such a champion could exist in league. A shame they never thought of implementing such a champion.

That and the AoE cone heal based off of missing health. Those are the two abilities I missed having access to. I actually wouldn't mind seeing both again on a new champ. I just don't know what concept/theme can they come up with for a champ with either of these abilities.

Riot should just give it back to her. Her rework was abysmal and the way it's currently being managed is testament to that fact. Bringing back elements of old Karma into new Karma would make her a better champion overall.
