Karma vs Kalista

Scarizard:

The effectiveness of Karma's abilities relied too heavily on your teammates knowing all their nuances. No matter how hard you were carrying with Karma, your teammates had to be just as good with her for you to be super effective. When an ally's confused about whether or not he should run from or pass through your Spirit Bond, we probably made a mistake.

Kalista:

Kalista’s potential is unlocked by solid communication and cooperation with allies rather than raw mechanical skill. While Kalista decides when to answer Fate’s Call, her Soul-Bound, often a support, ultimately decides where it’ll make its impact.

CertainlyT:

But League is a team game. Kalista is for players who enjoy or want to improve at taking the pulse of teammates and working together toward a win. Kalista highlights the cooperative end-state in which she and her ally are most likely to succeed and offers a tool kit to enable players to reach that state.

Contradiction? So one of the reasons for the Karma rework was because she was team reliant on allies in regards to her abilities. Now we see a new champion in the works with a kit mainly focused on this very "problem". I would be interested in seeing a riot response to this contradiction.
