Karma change idea!

Grief Me Please··2 votes·481 views

So I saw a prompt that was "If you could take two abilities from a champ and combine them, how would they work" and I thought A combination of Karma's RQ and W, where the circle left on the floor just roots people instead of dealing more damage. It's just a small idea I had, and I'd love to see some feedback on it! :D

Side note: since the SG skins have been announced, my dreams of Victorious Karma remain intact! I'll admit, if she doesn't get the skin it will be crushingsummoner 3

The root on W is meant to set up her RQ, to make for a nice damage combo. Putting another root on her RQ would drain all her damage potential and leave that root without a follow up. Which would be stupid. Just like the RW root is.

Additionally it would let her W root into RQ root for endless rooting without counterplay.

yeah, if this were to happen she'd have to get a new W, which would be a bit hard to swallow, but I think it could be cool :P As I said, it's just an idea. It's interesting to think about this sort of thing [slayer-jinx-wink]

Tell me about it, all I do on these boards is creating Karma reworks ^^' But I personally shy away from giving her more CC. She isn't really a disruptor, so I try to even take away most of it.

karma has: poke, a root, a shield, an aoe shield, a slow. she really doesnt aditionally need a root. also this might hurt karma mid or make it even more op

W could change into something else, maybe something unique like pre rework karma, though from what I heard it wasn't very good lol anyways, it's interesting to think about things like this [slayer-jinx-wink]

I always thought of turning karma into a mitigation support champion. My concept was turning her RW into ally or enemy cast so something like so:

When cast on ally: karma absorbs a % of the damage her ally is taking during duration, if karma is attacked she transfer a % of the damage she suffered to her ally as health. (She receives true damage based on how much her ally received so armor and MR don't reduce the numbers to keep her balanced)

On enemy cast: a % of damage received will be transfered back to the enemy (while they remain in her tether, so something like karma you hurt me then karma will bite you on your ass and hurt you as well)

And giving her back her old passive where she gained ap based on her missing health. Not saying this is the BEST idea but it would be nice to see karma headed a certain direction rather than everywhere.
