How do people feel about Karma right now?
I've played
since Season 4.
I rarely have played her in Season 8 at all, because quite frankly, she WAS getting unreliable early in season 8. Her 1 main skill damage kit and enhanced abilities of champs like Yasuo and Yi just made her not worth bringing out.
But..... as I smurf a little, and "Fill" gets me some unequivocal losses where I can't control the flow of my teammates.... I've started taking out
again.
But this time, I'm using a different rune set, different build, and the results are pretty scary, at least to me.
What I'm using:
Phase Rush Nimbus Cloak Celerity Gathering Storm
And the secondary is usually either Inspiration with Magical Footwear/Cosmic Insight, or Domination with Relentless Hunter/Taste of Blood.
Due to Karma's unique useage of Nimbus Cloak, she seems like a monster to me. I don't really rely on the Phase rush all that much, although I'm sure its constant proccing is helping..... but it seems to me like Karma is now in the state Season 7 Janna was in before her move speed nerf/damage buff.
I can sling shot across a lane so fast and Eing before attacking with R>Q is just natural to her kit, so this all pumps Celerity with AP bonuses.
I'm finding again.... she's only of the only champs who can stop a fed
and more or less duel him to death in his ult, when she has this kind of move speed.
But when I look at Lolalytics...... everyone playing Karma is still on Comet or Aery, and not really running a move speed kit, even Nimbus Cloak.
So my question is....... why aren't they?
And what condition do YOU think she's in?
My current build generally goes something like this:
as a core with conditionals like
. Seems to work phenomenally at controlling a game.
all heavily abuse Phase rush at the right times, and actually pull off more damage with it than without it, and get out of engages pretty fast (Funny as hell to see Zyra engage and pop off Q/E hits and plants acting as the 3rd source, and Zyra can either sling shot toward or away from her targets at speeds that just look Yi stupid)
