Better nerf Karma...

So, I might be a little late but on patch 6.15 Karma got nerfed on her shield amount and her ms that shield gave. I'm not saying it is a bad decision or anything, nor I'm arguing about it. But, Karma's win rate is ~50% as a mid laner and ~48% as a support right now as of patch 6.15 , now get this, before her nerf her win rate was... AN ASTOUNDING ~50.6% win rate :O Er meh gehd better nerf karma 2 0p 4 u. rito the fuck. There are TONS of other champions that need a lot of rebalancing than freaking karma, why waste your resources on poor Karma? SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A NEW SKIN for gods sake. But it shouldn't surprise me anymore...

Now what I think is the actual problem. A while back, I don't remember where exactly (I think it was a rito post back in S3-S4), but I read that rito wanted to make LoL champions mobile and started giving everyone and everything mobility. And that arose problems.

Assassins went from normal high-risk, high reward champions to "now you see me, now you don't" to "and.... your dead". Skillshot-reliant champions went to a craphole and then revived by doing shit tons of damage through complicated unneccessary (but got to admit fun) mechanics, and then got nerfed to death by constant nerfs, and then again revived by weird mechanics. Tanks and fighters got mixed to the abomination called jaggernaught, and "real" tanks, either got nerfed to oblivion or went support. ADCs Marksmen got changed to be a clickfest of minion farming early on and "now you re dead" later on. Kinda like an assassin. But requiring skill. (shots fired (huehuehuehuehue)) Supports went from "I support through providing utility to the team", to "whatever is nerfed is welcomed here" and thresh. Mid went top, top went mid. Jungle got mixed up with different roles, that got nerfed, buffed then nerfed again. Oh! and item changes.

And through that wall of text I conclude that Karma went support as a failed, UP mid laner. Season 6 with the crap ton of changes in items and champions made Karma's utility and burst somewhat shine in the midlane through the utility she brings to counter assassins, but also the damage to bring to low life or even kill them. Rito saw that. Rito smash dat. Rito bad.
