Hope Dwindling for Karma

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I used to main Karma and after she was consistently pushed and pushed by Riot to the Support role and kept losing her mid lane presents I still stuck by for a while, but now I am losing hope. She is supposed to be this flex pick champion yet Riot has consistently nerfed her solo lane while for the most part keeping her supportive power just as strong.

I still hear updates that the current Rework idea they had which recieved extreme levels of criticism because of how it failed to address any of the problems that Riot pointed out Karma has, and would force her even more to be a dedicated support and no longer be playable in solo lanes. Riot also plans on dumbing down her passive so more skilled players can't use it as well as they have.

Anybody else just losing or have lost their hope? It is insane they are still going through with this horrendous rework they have planned.

It's not true that she won't be playable in solo lanes. What's more likely is that she'll become more frustrating to play against, and will end up being nerfed for the sake of new mechanics (gifted CDR and mana) that don't even suit her.

Riot is taking a gamble with Karma here, and I hope for her sake it pays off. But yeah, I join you in your scepticism of the rework and if it's as bad as I imagine when I try it on PBE - I'll be done with the game until Riot releases a champ or rework that I like.

That ending right there proves my point. She will be nerfed due to her new mechanic and the way she will be nerfed is not the new mechanic because Riot wants it to work so her damage or shielding will get nerfed which will nerf Solo lane Karma more than support Karma. Also higher frustration from the increased base numbers will also see her get nerfed more which again will hurt Solo lane Karma more than support Karma.
