Karma W change

I know this is a nerf to the ultimate cooldown, but doesn't this pretty much just make Karma's W a point and click LeBlanc E? I'm a little worried about this, cause while this change is small it feels like it's removing what little personality Karma has left :p Please tell me why I'm wrong, I'm 100% open to discussion

I've come to the conclusion that the more they screw up Karma, the higher she climes on that rework priority list. Ever since 5.10 they have consistently made her worse and worse to the point where she objectively has NOTHING to her. Meddler says she's bland and that she's not sufficiently satisfying, GroovyLord (GypsyLord?) says she didn't need the rework she got and it's common knowledge that everything about her was rushed.

So if they put through this W change to live, just sit tight and wait for the rework. She'll probably end up needing one more than ever.

It wasn't :P?

I had more trouble with the removal of minion shielding. While the mechanic wasn't healthy it was one of the few things left for Karma players to show their understanding of the character. One of the few things left that made her unique. I like KingKold's sentiment here; let them keep ruining her, it just makes rework more likely and justifiable.

It's not small, for a solo lane karma, means having to chase the person to their tower. Most of the time you NEED the second tick because you won't be able to get the last one off. If you read over the patch notes that karma has done, you'd understand that they do a lot of little nerfs, that over time build up to become one big nerf.

I believe it started at 5.10 when she lost all her damage on her R. After that they slowly reverted the buffs to they did to her.

the only good thing about it is that it's point and click,it takes .5 more time for the snare to happen,snare only lasts 1 second until like level 14 for most people,does(slightly) less damage,oh and despite people saying it has the same range as Leblanc's it doesn't,they both have 1000 range but point and click abilities are calculated center to center,while skill shot abilities like Leblancs are counted edge to edge.

But your problem was personality,don't worry Riots fine with Karma being an aoe shield bot(I think,they keep nerfing it)

Eh Most people probably though it only ticked 2 times in the first place I'm not sure if it's even worth calling "personality" or anything of the like
