the karma changes hurt my balls so bad

no longer can i take karma mid against a burst assassin because of her r+w changes. i have no means of cancelling out the massive burst mid lane.

no longer can i take karma top for the exact same reason. high burst melees will absolutely demolish me if i make a single mistake

no longer will i be able to fight against high aggression botlanes (leona, thresh, kalista, nami), as i dont have a decent a mount of sustain unless my adc and i both nuke the target before mantra w goes off.

riot is taking karma who was ABSOLUTELY FINE, not too strong, not too weak, and changing her from a jack of all trades into an exclusive defensive support and maybe a low tier jungler.

i mained karma with a 65% winrate last season at top and support, but now im positive she wont be able to do any lane except support now. she may be able to jungle, but honestly the r+w changes with her heal completely invalidated the change to allow her to use her w on monsters and minions. exactly how much does riot expect it to heal her when she can only realistically get one aa and one q out before the channel ends? that is a SEVERE nerf to everything except support karma. and even then, it's still a big nerf as 20% missing health right away and 20% missing health right at the end of the channel heals a lot more at all points in the game except for late game.

riot's balancing team is trash. sure nerf the champion with no clear defined role who isn't a real problem in any elo, but keep zed with his natural free farm passive, perfect synergy with armor pen items, and all around general BS. keep leblanc with her extremely short cooldown gapcloser w+r that has an undo button if she goes full retard. keep jinx with her unstoppable late game and insane turret destruction power with one item.

its like riot loves to shit on karma mains whenever they get the chance. pre-rework karma was fun, rework karma was kind of disappointing, but i grew to enjoy it just as much later on. but this change to karma is just a message from riot saying "we don't want karma anywhere except botlane as a mediocre squishy high mana cost defensive support"

who in their right mind is going to pick karma over nami, janna, morgana, leona, and thresh now? it was already a rare occurance to see karma support anyway.

tl;dr riot not so sneakily nerfed karma in every lane, thus kicking karma mains in their balls once again
