What's wrong with Karma?

I just picked her up and she's so fun to play! And I generally win with her, getting A's and S's for my score. She seems great to me, but she's not played much, I see. What's up with that?

It's because she's a generalist that is heavily reliant on her team.

Mage role: Early game bully, but doesn't offer anything better for late game compared to your standard burst or control mages. Support role: Early game bully, but turns into a shield bot late game. Tank role: Weaker than your standard tank. Mainly an unkillable nuisance, if you have enough mana.

Heimerdinger is a better Mantra-type champion than Karma is.

Midlane : less than 43% winrate, 0,5% pickrate (so only main play her). Now you understand the problem, we can ty proplayers :). Support 46% wr and 2% pickrate...

Shes usually paired with marksmen who use movement speed well, as well as for her high damage. Pairing her with Jhin or Kai'sa for example makes both of them quite strong.

As a mage shes... okay?

Because she's been pretty weak for the past few months. Her rework is coming soon though, so hopefully you like her even more once it hits live.

Uhm, no. There's been no confirmation that they are even remotely close to done tinkering with her. They recently scrapped the "clothesline" damage for enemies who passed through her tether, which leaves them back at square one. There is nothing concrete about anything regard Karma's gameplay update, so making claims like this is just flat out wrong.

The only reason they showed the "clothesline" tether iterations is because they've moved past them to something else; so definitely NOT square one. There's a new addition to W currently in testing, and if that iteration doesn't make it out to PBE we'll get a smaller set of changes instead. That's what we DO know.
