Karma Changes I Believe Should Occur

I will start this off by saying I have played her since before her initial rework back in March of 2013. I have definitely liked the champion in different ways throughout her journey. Now I'm just going to get into it. This is a post suggesting a different direction from the mistake that will occur if the current direction is taken.

Passive: Gathering Fire - Karma stores up energy. Karma gains 1 stack from basic attacking enemy champions, 3 for shielding champion damage from an ally, and 5 when Karma damages an enemy with an ability. At 100 stacks Karma will be able to use her Mantra an additional time while it is on cooldown consuming the stored energy.

Q: Inner Flame - Fires a blast of energy that explodes on enemy contact dealing 80 / 125 / 170 / 215 / 260 (+60% of ability power) magic damage to enemies in the area and slowing them by 25% for 1.25 seconds.

I also kept Inner Flame the same. It is a simple ability that with my version of it's Mantra form will be very strong.

R+Q: Soulflare- Inner Flame deals 25 / 75 / 125 / 175 (+30% of ability power) extra magic damage and leaves a circle of flame at the impact area or upon reaching maximum range, slowing enemies for 50%. After 1.5 seconds, the circle erupts, dealing 50 / 150 / 250 / 350 (+60% of ability power) magic damage to enemies in the area and applying brittle to all enemy champions.

Pretty simple buff here. Adding brittle to the eruption portion of Soulflare adds some more supportive potential to Karna's kit. This may seem like a pretty big buff, but it will even out with some changes you have yet to see.

W(Enemy Cast): Focused Resolve - Karma forms a tether to target enemy champion, revealing and damaging the target for 60 / 110 / 160 / 210 / 260 (+90% of ability power) magic damage over 2 seconds (one tick[35% of the damage] at the start of the cast and one at the end[65% of the damage]). Gathering Fire is applied every time this ability damages. If the tether is not broken after the 2/1.75/1.5/1.25/1 seconds, the target is rooted for 1.5 seconds

So my main changes here is that the time it takes to root is lowered per level instead of the duration of the root. 2 seconds is a long time and it is just not reasonable for Karma to ever do that in a teamfight unless she is purely getting chased down. Now the tether duration is a static 1.5 seconds which is stronger early, but significantly weaker later on to compensate for the shorter duration to root. Damage is now more focused on the the full tether.

R+W(Enemy Cast): Renewal - Focused Resolve increases the duration of the root by 0.5 / 0.75 / 1 / 1.25 seconds and heals Karma for 20% (+1% per 100 ability power) of her missing health immediately plus another 20% (+1% per 100 ability power) of her missing health if the tether remains unbroken.

I don't love this Mantra effect, but I really don't have any good suggestion in changing it, so I left it alone.

W(Ally): Focused Harmony - Karma forms a tether to target ally champion combining their defenses, giving herself and the targeted ally bonus armor and magic resist over the next 2 seconds. Karma and her ally receive 10/15/20/25/30+(20% bonus armor and magic resist form each other).

So Karma receives a 20% of her allys bonus armor and magic resist and her ally receives 20% of Karma's bonus armor and magic resist. This is a way to make her more of a battlemage support. She likes to be in the thick of it.

R+W(Ally Cast): Enlighten - Karma and her target ally heal for 10% (+0.5% per 100 ability power) of their missing health immediately plus another 10% (+0.5% per 100 ability power) of their missing health if the tether remains unbroken.

This ability can really save an ally, but really doesn't heal for a ton.

E: Inspire - Karma shields target ally, which absorbs 70 / 95 / 120 / 145 / 170 (+50% of ability power) damage for 2.5 seconds and grants the target 40 / 45 / 50 / 55 / 60% bonus movement speed for 1.5 seconds.

Keeping it the same. Offers a unique buff to a shield.

R+E: Defiance: Inspire's shield overflows with energy, increasing the target's shield amount by 30 / 100 / 170 / 240 (+30% of ability power). The Shield erupts with the overflowing energy dealing damage to nearby enemies equal to the total shield amount.

I know this is where I'm going to lose a lot of people, but hear me out. I tried to add almost purely supportive power to her Q and her W to make this change not force her to be a mid laner. I believe Kamra should be able to be played both Mid and Support. I would really like her to succeed in both those roles, but she has zero chance to succeed Mid without more access to the enemy backline then just her easily blockable Q. I hope both sides can understand this.

R: Mantra - Karma empowers her next ability cast within the next 8 seconds, adding an additional effect. Empowered abilities share the same cooldown as their basic form.

Karma begins with one rank in Mantra and can increase it at levels 6, 11, and 16. Ranks in Mantra improve the additional effects of empowered abilities.

Kept the same.

As of right now all cooldowns and mana costs and base stats would stay the same except her base armor and magic resist would be reduced by 3 a piece because of her new W.

So what do you think? Would love to discuss any issues/concerns/suggestions or whatever with anyone.
