Is there a way that Karthus can get a good early game?

Make a champ good in all stages of the game and make him have an ult that destroys with no downsides - what you're asking

he has a good early game? I mean sure - he wonßt 1v1 kill anyone in lane, but it´s almost impossible to stop him from lasthitting and from 6 onwards he already has the global pressure + massive dmg in teamfights.

karthuses late game is overrated, only his mid game is good

If they would revert his W or vhange the Q scaling to triple single target champs and large jungle mobs this would fix every thing. Oh and double damage aoe to champs and large jungle mobs.

Before

Lay Waste Cost: 20/26/32/38/44 Mana Range: 875 Karthus unleashes a delayed blast at a location, dealing damage to nearby enemies. Creates a delayed blast at Karthus' cursor position dealing 40/60/80/100/120 (+30% Ability Power) magic damage to each nearby enemy.If the blast hits only a single unit it deals double damage.

After

Lay Waste Cost: 20/26/32/38/44 Mana Range: 875 Karthus unleashes a delayed blast at a location, dealing damage to nearby enemies. Creates a delayed blast at Karthus' cursor position dealing** 40/60/80/100/120 (+30% Ability Power)** magic damage to each nearby enemy this is doubles for champions and large jungle mobs.If the blast hits only a single unit it deals double damage and tripe damage to enemy champions and large jungle mobs.

Now you kill in 3-4 single target hits insted of 8-10 single target hits. 4.5-6 seconds to kill vs 12 to 15 seconds to kill. early single target damage 120 from 80 minus mr. most champs have about 500 bace health.

So just doge the Q's and no problem. Pleas Riot Pleas. He has no hard cc you nerf his walls slow. He has low mobility and his ult really isn't all that good.

I love his play stile but his over all kit and damage is just so lack luster. Dose the new item 3027 turn him into an insane tank mage that can't be killed because I haven't been able to play much since the change to know how stong the build still is. < item 1056 item 3010 item 3070 > item 3027 (((( item 3027 +item 3116 +item 3020 + item 3070 ))))) to item 3040 +item 3089 + item 3157 or item 3001 or item 3135 and sell boots late game to be replaced with void staff or other ap item.

Wait, what? Karthus is one of the strongest early game mages- levels 1-5. ]He's a huge lane bully and is incredibly hard to deal with if you can't oneshot him. I always find that Karthus is strongest before 20 minutes or so. Maybe you're just not playing him properly?
