Karma Nerfs - Are They Enough?

ChefTD··4 votes·2,498 views

Karma is ridiculously broken atm, with a 53 percent winrate top, 54 percent winrate top, and 53 percent winrate support. This champion, despite having a crazy winrate and being top tier in 3 seperate roles, has yet to recieve adequate nerfs. Patch 9.13 has brought a slight nerf to her E. This is not enough. She can still do 500+ damage per Q with support items. I personally feel like this champion needs to be brutally nerfed back into the support role.

Then they need to make certain things only avlible to range or to damage or to tanks...... Yea don't see that one happening.

Klepto is too important for a lot of champions, and it has already recieved nerfs (right?) champs like TF, Ezreal and GP all need the rune as the alternatives are not great. I think nerfing Karma's overall viability to do damage and instead buffing her crowd control and shield to better fit the support role (where she belongs)

TF doesn't need klepto at all, as for ezreal and GP just give em some buffs. as long as ranged top laners can abuse klepto they will be a problem and tanks won't be played top at all.

Riot nerfing Karma's "overall viability to do damage" is the reason she's been so problematic for the past 4 seasons. The removal of her damage options has forced Riot to increase the up time of Mantra and buff her utility.

And btw, Karma was designed for solo laning. Her RW being only a self heal stands out as a marker of her designer's intent.

Currently, I feel like Karma is more of a mid laner than a support. Her combos do devastating damage, and I don't feel like she makes that big of an impact as a support. Riot Games needs to decide her role as a mid, top, or support.

The biggest problem with karma is that she simply does not fit into any role correctly, she needs reworked (not the pathetic attempt like the last one) into a specific role be it top, mid or support.

Just to point out when karma does start to fall out of favour be ready for the lulus in the toplane

I have tried her support, top, and mid, and I say she fits best into mid lane. She doesn't really have the CC she needs to be a good catcher support, nor does she have the healing/shields to be an enchanter. People could argue that her E is a really good shield, but I think she isn't that viable as a support.

No thanks. She finally just got buffed into viability and now you think she needs nerfs?

Don't think so. We have been waiting for a rework for years now and all we've gotten is little to no word from Meddler, scrapped changes, and an occasional numbers buff every 8 months or more.

She's fine, she's just abusing some of the overtuned runes. She doesn't need a nerf.

the runes dont affect her damage where she can outduel most toplaners while building full tank items

MiracleMorg942 votes

Yea right. It's the runes. She doesn't have the scalings to have high damage anyway. Tank items just help her survive enough to be able to get off more RWs and more REs, that's all.

I personally want her shield to shield enemies and her Q to heal enemies, just so i can grab a bag of popcorn and watch the karma main reddit.
