Am I the only one who feels Karma tether should be completely removed in her rework?

Riot is doing some work on Karma finally and they seem to be intent on keeping that tether W.

link.... https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/developer-corner/TkiBEVYV-karma-gameplay-change-preview

What they are planning on doing...

W - Spirit Bond Ally Cast: Karma reduces target ally’s basic ability cooldowns by up to X seconds. Mantra - Harmony: The cooldown reduction amount is increased by Y seconds. Karma restores Z% of the ally’s max mana.

Enemy Cast: Karma deals X damage to target enemy. If they don’t break the tether, they are dealt X damage and rooted for T seconds. Mantra - Renewal: Roots for longer. When this deals damage, Karma heals for Y% missing HP + Z% AP.

To me, Karma W tether makes her walking around awkwardly to pull of a root. I would much prefer a unique skill shot like Ez new W or something more rewarding and satisfying to play

Also, if anyone at riot reads this....Karma desperately needs a running animation for her E. Its kinda sad to see a champ with a move speed spell walking a 400-500 ms.

What do you think?

Lol thats not a rework, thats tuning. I barely even consider that an "update".

But on topic, I really don't see any problems with it personally. Granted I have only probably played a total of 30 karma games and VS maybe 50, my experience lacks by comparison to mains.. Still dont think its an issue though.

They could have done a million things with the ability. What they should have done:

Mantra Q:

  1. Make it ground targeted.
  2. Lessen the range it shoots out.
  3. Not make it blocked by minions.
  4. Remove the heal from Mantra W and put it on Mantra Q explosion, since the explosion is useless now.

Mantra W:

  1. Removed the increased root for increased damage.
  2. Remove the heal.

She needed larger scope changes if the goal was to give her something unique, at least in the scale of the Ez update.

Slapping an ally CDR and mana buff on her tether purely for sake of offering something no other champ can, just doesn't cut it.

She IS getting a running animation, btw.

But yeah, new W is confusing. Not sure what to think of it yet.

Honestly, seeing the Akali rework makes playing immobile champs seem unfair.

Static shiv is way better for ADC that Luden Echo is for Mages.
