Today I noticed that when casting Karma [W] or [R][W] you have an Indicator now.

Either I missed something or they stealth patched it in. I am also not sure if its visible to the enemy being cast on.

EDIT: It does show an indicator for the enemy tethered for both W and RW.

Either way, thanks Riot. :)

A nice little surprise for us :D

the same thing happen with the Courage of the Colossus visuals. Noticed after patching to 7.1 and going into a thresh game, the bubble you get was much much different than before. a friend of mine said it hasnt changed but i got proof of old and new.

Do not let the Karma community be known as ungrateful. Thumb that sh*t up!!!

PS: To me it seems like there should be an indicator for the enemy too. Maybe even more so than for Karma. If anyone can check, please let us know! THE RANGE INDICATOR SHOWS FOR BOTH KARMA AND THE ENEMY!

Warden Karma and I just tested it: The indicator can also be seen by the ENEMY!!!! Clarity FTW!!!

Even if it isnt in the patch notes, I'm not mad at all. Clarity and tether indicators should 100% be a priority. No one likes doing something like flashing away from a tether, only to realize you are just barely in it. I'm glad riot is doing this, and it should happen more often.

Idk, as a Karma main I think this removed one of the few more difficult things left to master out of her kit. A good Karma player was able to judge by the thinness of the tether how close it was to breaking.

They've removed a lot of the finer things to her over the years that have made her I think close to being too simple to play... And she's becoming bland for it.

They got rid of Karma 's original passive/W, the shield bomb, the more damaging root (if you couldn't get second blast of R-Q off then it was actually better in an all-in to R-W and just normal Q), shielding minions, and now this.

I just discovered this little gem last night when I got Karma in an ARAM. Very happy.

But let's just forget that Riot nerfed Karma...AGAIN.

Did LB get the same treatment?

I'm on the fence if she did. On one hand it'll be nice to see the exact range at which I can escape. On the other hand, that range would be three quarters of a screen away.

it also seems to be incredibly inaccurate. I've been outside the range and it is still connected to me. I'm thinking the hitbox or whatever you call it is edge to edge as that's the only way that indicator is accurate at all.

finally, i never could remember the range for it, i always got sad when i thought i was tethered to someone but they break the range just a sec before snaring

Oh so that's what that was

Smallegreen1/14/2017, 5:57:38 PM1 votes

There is a range indicator for the enemy as well.

yeah for the first time since her rework in 4.10, nid's traps give true sight again.

They have seriously got to add the same kind of indicator to Anivia's ult. It's almost as ridiculous as having no tether range for Orianna

YuGiHo1/13/2017, 6:54:06 PM1 votes

i saw it in a game too but i had no idea what it was at the time

Fondling Gems1/13/2017, 9:34:19 PM1 votes

Might not be remembering correctly (RIP bad memory) but I thought there was a note for it back when they made LB tether show range? Not the most recent patch but the one before it. Or maybe it was on surrender@20. IDK, hard to remember what is on live, what is on PBE, and what only got tested on PBE. Gets confusing.
