If Karma ever gets a new VO I hope they bring back Danielle McCain

Whilst I really love Rashida, I feel like with the new VO she never really caught who or what Karma is supposed to be like. A powerful figurehead, but also a person of their own.

Not too mention overall she made Karma out to be a rather plain person with such a monotone and plain voice. (plain being a common word for current karma).

I feel like Danielle did a better job is capturing a more interesting character, something that can still be heard in her Traditional skin.

Not too mention Danielle's mentioned she would love to reprise Karma someday.

I suppose there's always the option of Danielle voicing regular Karma, but then Rashida's voice coming through when Mantra is activated.

Hmm... I'm not sure I agree.

She sounds almost British, which I think is probably the reason it sounds like a "figure head". Her voice gives me a classic fantasy vibe, which would've been absolutely fine if we hadn't gotten this:

Her current version makes the old one sound a bit bland imo. She sounds a lot more wise and powerful, and generally I think this VO characterizes her perfectly.

+1 for the discussion though.

Current Karma's voice is much more unique to her than the old voice actress, who sounds like she could provide V.O. for a number of other champs.

McCain? I'm sorry but her name is Mcrae. Danielle Mcrae.
