Is there any way we can get Old karma back? ive seen some pretty negative reviews about wanting old karma on her old spotlight. I myself am seriously missing old karma so much I would like a fan user type weapon champion in the game like Old Karma. Not that the new karma is bad, just missing old champions! [sg-janna]
Well new Karma is pretty bad right now. I would love RIOT to revert her.
I too miss her, but we gotta be realistic:
Old Karma is gone. Like, literally, they don't have her data anymore. And even if they did, inserting it into today's game would just lead to a few hundred error messages and bugs. She would need a ton of changes anyways, because her old kit - in terms of gameplay - wouldn't work either. It was really rich in ideas and suprisingly deep, but it just doesn't fit today's design standards...
The best we can hope for is that in her upcoming small rework Karma gets back a bit of her old self, like a bait passive, duality-mantras, shieldbomb, a creative tether, and maybe one day we get an awesome new champ with fanweapons.

Karma was a full on VGU. It is highly unlikely if not impossible for Riot to revert her. Due to high demand of change in her kit back then, Riot changed her entire kit, and introduced something new. The old kit was way unbalanced, where just pressing W on champion literally tethers them, slows them, speeds up Karma, and if an enemy doesn't get away in time, it's a snare. It's the same now, just costs more mana to do it now.
Also, the high revert we've ever had in League was Rengar and Kog'Maw with ability reverts.
