@Riot Thank you, Riot, for Winter Wonder Karma!

I'm so glad to see Karma getting a skin, especially one that changes her particles and sound effects! I'm thrilled that I will be able to play a Karma skin that offers a different fantasy, as an Ice Queen Badass.

Thank you for selecting Karma for this skin - I'm so excited. So let me return the favor by weighing in, so you can see that we fans really are appreciative and totally energized by your efforts to give our mains skins! The recall looks great and I'm absolutely enamored with the Inner flame. Thanks Riot!

For the model, I love the crown and Mantle of Decorum. For the color, as someone who plays a lot of Karma, I have seen a lot of purple; a blue-side Karma will see practically nothing but deep purple while laning, as she is cloaked in it. We have multiple options for playing in soft colors, like Sakura, Order of the Lotus, and Default Karma. If the color were moved to even a slightly less saturated purple, such as a periwinkle or a more whitened purple, it would offer a broader expanse of color fantasy for Karma. Light blue to match the particles, or even white to showcase the frozen air would both be very fitting for Karma's elegance and still offer something new for Karma players.

For particles, I love the icy particles, but think they can be taken a bit father. Is there any chance we can give her W - Focused Resolve and R+W - Renewal, some frosty effects? Snowflakes emanating from the around the tether, a lighter blue color - could really bring the snow magic feel to all her abilities. It also looks like the snare complete and her Passive is continuing to use the default green color, and it would be fantastic if they were also a cool blue.

And lastly, as the skin is in a high quality tier, is there any chance that it will receive a homeguard animation? Karma unfortunately never got a homeguard animation, and I think it would be fantastic to see her gliding along on her icy updrafts as she whisks back into battle.

Once again, thank you! (Lux who? I'm sitting tight till the Snowdown!)

She gets overshadowed by the awesomeness that is Santa-Braum, for sure, but unlike his skin (which due to being Santa is rather gimmicky and dated) her Snow Day skin looks beautiful in general without being too tied to Christmas so you can use it all the time!

Hmm, it's not for me. I like Order of the Lotus and Sun Goddess better. It's decent looking though.

Winter Wonder Karma is not befitting of a 1350 price point. It's pretty, but pales in comparison to Braum and Graves. The purple outfit is a bit odd, like a cross between a princess and a fairy, and the blue particles don't have enough "oomf" to make me say "wow!" Almost feels like they were trying to create another Winter Wonder Lulu.

Karma actually sounds like she's under a pile of snow :D

Her voice sounds so muffled especially while casting mantra. Dunno if it's specifically made to sound muffled for this skin.

I like the skin but it is definetely not worthy of 1350 RP. Much like you said, I would also like to see something new on W other than the boring recolored stripes that signify the successful tether. Some snowflakes bursting or something else. When compared to other skins in this price range, that would definetely be different. I also agree with the fact that not making an homeguard animation or at least trail effect was a missed opportunity. If it comes out on sale, I'll definetely get it, but I'm not paying the full price for sure. It feels more like a good 975 RP tier skin than a bad 1350 RP tier skin. Sadly, it's a bit too late to throw opinions around. Hopefully this allows for some changes a posteriori (which I don't expect).
