@ricklessabandon Karma changes just got worse

Seriously, what's going on? Why are you even changing Karma, let alone nerfing her? The first set of changes were still meh, but now they just remove versatility and utility from her kit. ~~R+W no longer deals any damage?~~ So it's just a longer snare now? And the compensation for this is a bigger shield on R+E that does no damage and more CD refresh from her passive which is not even that important since her ult is on a really low CD late game anyway. If the changes were focused on her E only I would be fine, the damage part was unnecessary after all, but just let W as it is. It's a great and unique ability and one of the things that make Karma fun to play. Listen to the players who actually play Karma and don't destroy her viability (in and outside of botlane). At least give us some context on those random changes Riot. And please... Compensation for solo lane Karma!

R+W deals the damage W would normally do.

I do hope they increase W base damage a bit though. It has a longer cooldown than Q and does the same damage and the enemy can break it. +30 base damage to each rank plz.

He is ruining a champion. Generic support champion. Here she comes.

LEAVE HER AS IS. She's a perfectly balanced champion and now my main is getting gutted in mid.

ricklessabandon almost butchered Katarina not too long ago as well; I think he's done some good work in the past but lately things seem pretty questionable

I don't get why they're messing with her at the moment really.

I mean, the longer snare on RW is an interesting change to give you more reasons to use it over normal W.

I'm not sure about romving so much damage from her kit though. Karma is cool to partly because of her great damage potential. Changing too much of that out for utility will not be a good change for her.

At least they're not ruining it with the stupid focus-fire-to-win-all-trades nonsense that would either be stupidly OP or useless.

UGH why didn't I see this earlier!

I just posted about it too. I don't friggin understand this. I mean.. I personally wasn't 100% against the changes in the first place. I felt that a 10% damage increase was a fair trade off. I could already imagine coordinated mantra plays with my adc husband while we take out the back line adc or apc...but now they totally took that away. I don't give a shit about a longer snare. I mean I see the useful part of it but NOT at the loss of a mantra that can buff my Q up OR give my group a shield in a team fight. NOT WORTH! What the hell are they thinking!
