Daily Reminder That Karthus Needs a Better Skin

Disagree, he is still a strong pick in almost any situation, with a increasing and devastating slow ontop of an mr reduction; plus karthus's encouragement to die in fights, makes for a very unique champ with not to many downsides. His laning can be dangerous to the opponent or safe for Karthus (depending on the match-up) all while having an extremely impact ult no matter what point in the game. Its kinda like the Anivia effect; costly items = amazing mid/late or burst build for an op early-mid game but falling late game. The same can be applied with Karthus in any match-up.

A champion with a 1.26% playrate, is only about 300 people in plat+ playing him. So if one person goes on a 5 win streak with him, it will spike and vise versa. You cannot judge a champion so harshly based on a win rate, you need to look deeper as to the reasoning. If this were vayne, yas, thresh or jinx then yes it would be a dramatic change that shouldn't be ignored. But for this matter it can be overlooked.
