@Riot - Explain to Me How Karma Fits Dark Star but Not Star Guardian?

Legit, the number one question us Karma mains have been asking for 4 years now. Why are Riot Game Developers so H*ll bent on creating skins for champions that they have no bother being a part of, but the obvious choice for them should be the one they are legit being asked to be in? The Karma community has been asking for Karma to be a Star Guardian for 4 years now. We have champions that don't belong in the skin line that are being put in the skin line, but you legit put Karma in the Dark Star skin line? In what capacity does this champion embody the theme and feel of this skin line? She has no place in this skin line and it isn't even that great. Let's also add in the fact that almost everyone has been asking for Karma TO BECOME A STAR GUARDIAN.

So Riot Games, why are we creating skins for champions that have no business being made for them? Why are you ignoring the comments about this champion and what we want? The vast majority of you can care less about doing any type of follow up work on her poorly constructed art, kit, lack of gameplay and more. You give us this garbage skin line for a champion that has been requested to be in the Star Guardian line for 4 years now?

This all but confirms a lot of our stance that unless the champion is a new one or some popular one like Lux and Ezreal, these Developers don't care about out opinions. Developers like KatyChaos, Meddler and more know how much more we want for this champion . . . . and yet they keep giving us excuses and no results. What's also a major let down is the fact if Karma is so popular in China/Japan, why aren't you using your brains and making her a Star Guadrian? Legit . . . . so much money to be made.

Dark Star Karma - Doesn't fit the theme at all, looks out of place, the graphics look budget (again no shocker on a Karma skin), the recall animation is a joke, no one wanted this for her, and more.

Star Guardian - Fits the theme to a T, could really do amazing things with the graphics and colors, it's been requested and ignored for 4 years now, it's a perfect opportunity to give Karma a legendary in a skinline that fits her theme and character.

Continue making terrible looking skins for one champion when you receive the comments and feedback you continue to ask for RIot. You don't listen to the comments and you can care less about any feedback. What a joke of a company. No point in any of us giving support or money if you are just not going to listen and actually do the right thing. Such a terrible skin line to put Karma in and also a continued missed opportunity with SG.

(Side note to everyone, Karma won't be getting a Star Guadrian skin this year if she is getting this one. A LOT of players have been requesting her to be part of the Star Guadrian skin line and even KatyChaos recognized it.)

uhhh... its a skin... it doesn't have to be relevant... For example we have a kog'maw skin that makes him a pug and people like it.

It's simple. If you look at current Karma skin selection you will notice most of her skins are bright, sparkly Karma in a pretty dress. Then you ask yourself what kind of skin is Karma missing? Dark, inhuman, "evil". Dark star checks all those marks. it's very different from all her skins while a Star guardian isn't really that different from Order of the lotus or Winter wonder.

Star Guardian can still happen, it's just not gonna be this year. I think Dark Star is a nice idea for her though, she did need that really dark out of this world skin.

Getting a darker themed skin is pretty cool.

I'm a moderator for the Karma mains Discord and subreddit and I have barely seen people that don't like it except for like a whole 7 people total from the subreddit, discord and my NA club with the "Karma" tag so idk what you're on.

As a Karma main for 5 seasons I am heavily content with the Dark Star Karma skin. I've been waiting for a dark themed Karma skin for years. I rather her have her Gatekeeper skin which was designed by Vlad Bacescu but I am not disappointed in Dark Star Karma so considering she hasn't gotten a skin in a little over two years, Dark Star Karma is very fitting for a little twist in her skin lines. She has needed a dark themed skin for a long time, that's all she's been missing.

Don't like it? Don't buy it.

Do you have any sources? you keep saying karma mains didn't want this skin but don't show anything to prove it. you seem to be ranting your opinions rather than actually showing actual proof of "KARMA MAINS" not wanting this skin. Also, not a single karma main in the karma mains discord even want star guardian, you seem to just be crying cause you didn't get what you want.

Certainly Karma is more popular in Japan and China than NA. But she is by no means a "popular champion" in China/Japan. Like other countries, Ahri and Sona are more popular.
