Am I the only one who HATES to play adc with a karma support on my team?

Seriously, the champion seems useless. Her damage is only decent if she goes pure ap, her CC has a huge delay, where people can just attack her. Her shield is meh except if lvled first, but them she has even less damage. Seriously stop playing this thing support. Use her mid, but please not sup

Posting on an account that hasn't played in over 2 years. How very brave of you...

She's got an accessible slow with non-diminishing AoE, an easy-to-use ult that affords her extended utility from the get-go, and lots of damage potential if she lands her abilities. The shield has very little downtime at top CDR (somewhere below 1sec IIRC, if it doesn't overlap) and she can effectively manage single targets and AoE both for damage and support.

Her CC isn't great, but then Lulu might be the tightest CC a mage support gets-- most mage supports don't get great CC that isn't in their ults. At least Karma doesn't have to wait that long.

So one person sucks at karma, therefor all karma sucks?

There is a reason why karma is being played so much this season. It has something to do with the massive aoe shield, amazing peel/kiting and great lane harass.

The idea is that while her tether is counting down, she is facerushing the target with a huge speed boost, with the ADC following up, and the target slowed. Also great followup CC if the ADC can stun or slow.

Dude I love being supported by Karma. The speed buff and amazing poke. What's not to like?

As a Karma main, let me tell you the following: I have played her in every possible lane and i will continue to do so. Your whiny opinion will not stop me - nor will it stop any pro for that matter - to continue successfully playing her support.

That being said: No hard disengage, no hard CC, no hard stat enhancement, no clutch saves, low turnaround potential or playmaking ability. I guess it must be boring. Other supports offer more safety. Or damage. Or carry potential. She's got some of all. But I can see why you would prefer a specialist or a support with harder impact. Karma feels mushy to play with, and since her carry potential is usually in pure damage (her fun) or huge damage absorption (feels low impact), you don't get as many opportunities to shine, as you would with others.

Again, I do understand that you might prefer otherwise. But your attitude sucks.

You have to look on the bright-side here.

She is far more useful than the Nidalee Support of seasons past.
