So recently I've been playing Karma a lot (surprisingly op) but I keep having problems with her e ability. Sometimes in situations when I want to shield myself, I end up accidentally shielding a nearby minion. Like that most likely be my problem with my inability to put my mouse over the wrong target. But can't we just get rid of that overall? Like shielding a minion for 3 seconds sounds pretty useless too...
Just hold the alt key and it would shield you when pressing e Shielding minions is not usles when seiging you can shield the tank minion and it would take extra 2 shots from the tower to kill it. Also old karma this was a vital part of her kit because she could shield minions with a mantra and harass people. Also old karma had way stronger shields. For mid lane karma its easier to mantra shield a minion on melee champions vs wasting it on her q which can miss more often then not.
Just like Soraka can heal minions :)
I wouldn't miss minion shielding... especially when I'm trying to save the damn ADC who is being creepblocked...
Speaking of which, why can't we all have Fizz passives??? Especially now that the creepblock is so horrendous...
Shielding minions is one of the great things about Karma, you can use the shield to deny the enemy laner last hits and to enhance your minions tower siege.
Or better yet just buff Karma altogether and make it so her E is aoe and the Mantra E increases the shield, speed boost, and do damage?
Like it's not like Karma is an op champ we see everyday...
One does not simply shield minions as Karma after rework, lmao. Trust me, you do not want to shield minions, they usually die in one hit following a turret's fire. I guess that's one of the trade offs of making a super tanky shield in to a semi-tanky, hasty shield.
Hello! Karma main here! If you're having problems with detection on yourself you should definitely practice using alt+e for self-cast. It takes a little getting used to be it's a lot faster and guaranteed to work. As for why she can shield minions...
It's great for denying canon creeps! It's a real dick move but denying the enemy canon creeps is a big gold loss.
It helps a little with sieging since you can buff up a minion and the speedboost helps them get tower aggro faster. This is especially useful with Banner of Command.
Karma can mantra+e minions so that all allies will be affected by the aoe. Obviously you'd only want to do this for the speedboost like when your team is backing off but even the littlest things can help you win a game.
Hope this helps!
It'll tank a tower shot allowing for a better siege. It'll tank a few tower shots later in the game.
i've won a game backdooring as karma with a siege minion having banner + e (45% cdr let's you e him right when it's over) took down 2 turrets in two minutes bc of the huge wave i made
