Karthus isn't on the list of major updates on the incoming mage update BUT...
...Can we get any sort of details on what's getting changed? Yes. I know it's going to be like what they did to apparently Sivir and lucian or something like that (which was just some number adjusting I think), but exactly what numbers are getting changed? What of his abilities do Riot think that Karthus could use the most adjusting? It's just I'm really interested on how karthus players will be able to deal with all these new Mage changes and what Riot is planning to do with him at this time. Since (as far as I know) he's rarely played outside of the Karthus mains out there (myself included), it's kinda hard to tell what spot he's in compared to every other champ at the moment.
oh and for the love of GOD PLEASE can we get a fix on a number of bugs plaguing Karthus right now. I'm not even talking about his current inability to speak, but more things that he's been having to deal with for a while now:
-
Casting Q outside max range during his passive will not only put his regular Q at max range, but it will also show some sort of "Ghost Q" where the cursor is (only Karthus players can see this.)
-
Apparently Rylai's doesn't work during his passive? (I've heard about this recently, but I never tested it for myself)
-
I haven't noticed this nearly as often, but sometimes during his passive, his Q goes on a 2-second cooldown (average is 1 second)
Outside of that, the only other issue is how Riot treats the isolated Q damage as both a Crit (procs Randuin's Omen Crit block), and NOT a crit (can't be enhanced by Crit damage procs like IE, Warlord's, etc.). This also is on Anivia's Q/R + E Combo, and Soraka's Center Q hit.
