karma kit proposals
Hi all! I'm an avid Karma player and I feel that if Karma is going to go through changes, then now is the time to make some proposals before they go live.
First off is her W on ally cast. The new mechanic of reducing CDR and restoring mana is an interesting idea but does not belong on Karma. I don't feel adding this unique mechanic onto Karma is necessary as she already has an identity centered around her mantra and her very name. On top of that it seems potentially gimmicky and problematic. Instead I would rather an ally cast W like the following:
W - On ally cast, both Karma and her tethered ally heal for a portion of the damage that they deal to enemy champions.
I believe this is much more thematic to Karma and in line with her current kit, rewarding aggression and potentially turning around a fight.
For her Mantra W, I came up with this:
Mantra W - On ally cast, deals damage in a radius around the target which heals the target based off the damage dealt, on top of the normal w
(or something similar)
Since putting her old shield bomb damage (the aoe instant damage) onto her Mantra E would be a problem, the only other place to put it would be her mantra W, and it synergizes decently with the W on ally cast proposed above. Plus it adds decision making and skill expression.
Aside from this change I would also love to see mage Karma get some love. This could be in the form of a bit more sustained damage, particularly late game.
