Isn't Karthus's Wall underpowered?

KONO RUBICK DA·Oct 8, 2015·1 votes·413 views

-has 100 mana at all ranks -long cooldown -slow decay and useless against every mobile mid -has 15% mr shred, meanwhile kog's Q has 28%...

I don't think it's underpowerd because it can hit up to 5 people (slows them significantly and shred their mr) and it stays for a pretty long time. Well it's a "single-use" spell so you can't just spam it and that's ok I think.

The Kog reference is foolish tho because it can hit only one enemy + it's harder to hit because of small range, speed and width.

the range of kog's Q is nearly the same, and it gives him 50% attack speed

and 3 things about karthus's Wall: -can't slow someone who walk 2 times in the wall -it's supposed to be a "wall of pain" -you never hit 5 people with the wall.

It's foolish to compare an ability of champs with different kit's.

3 things about karthus wall

I don't know if you aren't slowed the second time, it's not written in the description
when maxed it slows you for 80% --> the possibility of getting hit by each karthus Q is very high, if you aren't full tank you will probably understand suffering at this point
that's a claim. It lasts 5 seconds. It's definetly not impossible to that 5 players get hit by it in a teamfight.

i already told you, 80% slow isn't a strength when your midlaner adc and jungler are mobile af

I have had moments of was playing Karthus where I threw a wall up in the jungle at an angle so that it was sideways going down the path, the Shyvana I was chasing couldn't get away because the constant slow paired with a Rylais

The late game team fight strength of it is fairly high, since it shreds resistances and has a HUGE slow.

the resistance shred is a joke, generally everyone has 100 mr in average, which reduce mr by 15.

Doesn't it also reduces armor?

Anyways, in teamfights if you cast it on 5 enemies oyu debuff them by quite alot of total MR. And also it has nice slow.

no it isn't, they removed it because support karthus was seeing plays in s2
