Ultimore Rune and Karma

Warden Karma·8/31/2017, 10:12:39 AM·3 votes·1,058 views

A new non keystone has been revealed recently and has currently the following effect:

Ultimore: Gain 5% cooldown reduction and maximum cooldown reduction on your ultimate. This increases by 1.5% each time you cast your ultimate. Stacks up to 10 times.

I can predict, that it will totally break Karma. You are casting Mantra (R) very often and its core to her kit. Furthermore you can easily get the full +20% CDR even quite easily before the 15 min mark.

Since runes reforged will most likely happen before a Karma rework, Riot will nerf Karma to compensate this insane boost coming from this non keystone - most likely her Passive which makes it even less worth as a Stand alone "skillexpressing" Passive or Mantras Cooldown. It will force this non Keystone as a Core Rune of Karma.

Mantra at rank 4: 36 seconds cooldown With 45% CDR: 19.8 - a good Karma has a Mantra every ~6 Seconds With 60% CDR: 14.4 - would be around 4 Seconds.

Just my thoughts... what are yours?

I believe Riot will be adding conditions to Ultimore so it can't be abused too much by champs with low CD ults. However if this rune did come to live as it is, Karma would definitely want it and she'd only use it to cast RQ pretty much at will in team fights. R would have such a low CD combined with her passive that she would literally only need to RQ by mid-late game, which would basically be spammable.

Karma's garbage right now, it won't break her. Her shields are pathetic and their going to nerf-bat enchanter itemization after worlds.

If anything this rune might bring her back up to stable numbers, however that strongly depends on how broken everything else is in comparison.

Karma will be one of the champs to be able to stack this rune fastest but the number one abuser of this rune will be Lux anyway. 8 sec ult after a kill, lol. Pew pew everyone dies.

Well... Ultimore is neat but... I don't think it will cause that much problems. We will see some funny videos of Lux and Karama but besides that it's a rune that scales into lategame, and we kinda know Leagues Lategame these days. x'D

dépends if there are others op things, ultimore karma is most likely to be a secret op until it shows in lcs or play rate . For the moment karma needs a buff and I'm happy with that rune

If they actually give Karma a real passive after this Rune drops, I'd be all for it. Her current passive is lackluster and kinda dull, like Lissandra's.
