Karma Changes

I'm generally pretty happy with all the things they are doing except for 1.. Why are they taking the damage off of her mantra'd e? That was the only thing left from her old kit. Granted shield bombs weren't nearly as effective on the new karma but it still kinda sucks that now her ONLY option for team fight damage is her Q.. R+E was also a good option for clearing minion waves at certain times. I know it makes the shield stronger which I guess compensates for it, but still it enforces her whole role as a Q spammer and I really don't like that.. Please reconsider riot.

This new kit set up reeks of garbage

I think its technically a buff... we'll have to see it in action. still i feel like they're making a huge mistake taking the damage off her R+E

and if they wanna make a meaningful change dont let E target minions...even with the shield bomb that whole concept has never worked on new karma..

Overall I love the new changes. Especially now that you can tether minions and monsters. Jungle Karma will be a blast.

As for the shield bomb, I'm upset it's gone because it was nice for hitting huge waves but I typically rush Ludens on herthat that's plenty for wave clear.

they had to remove the damage component because of her passive buff, you would just like always have mantra up in team fights if they kept the damage

I didn't even really think about the passive change and E.. still since she spams her Q anyway she'll have lots of mantras in teamfights. and with the change a fully connected snare will reduce mantra by 9 seconds... I still think they're taking something she needed..

I understand they're trying to make each of her mantra spells have their own specific usage but still. I dunno, as long as the shield is compensatory to the damage lost then ok but they also basically nerfed her shield.

and yeah this is pretty much going to introduce jungle karma into the meta which is cool. she already did work to some degree in all roles but this will make some of them better. I still don't think she's any good in mid, but top/jungle/support OK.
