If Warden was supposed to be for 'dark' champions and Marauder for 'light'...

Why is Karma a Warden and Olaf a Marauder? I can see Jax (most of his skins are darker) and Alistar (kinda), but I thought the justification for Warden Sivir and Marauder Ashe was that the skins team wanted to do something 'new' with those champs, IE a darker skin for Ashe and a lighter skin for Sivir.

Karma's skins are generally light (order of the lotus, sun goddess) and Olaf's skins are darker (bar Brolaf). This seems like just another skin for those two.

Karma is neutral just like most ionians her lotus skin is from an another concept with 2 different lotus sides red and white and her pink lotus combines the 2

They merely pick the warden/maraudeur champs based on what looks cool and what hasn't been done yet. If they would just pick them based on how bright/dark the other skins of the champs are,then there wouldn't have been a point for Maraudeur Warwick,since ww has some darker skins already.

Also Karma has many light skins yeah,but she doesn't have any armored skins,so it is something new for her.

In Olafs case it simply fits with his viking design(the fur,the horned helmet)

It was never that way. Warwick is a very dark champion, even more so than Naut, and he got a Marauder skin.

I think it looks great. Karma always looks great in any "light" themed skins, heavy or cloth armor alike. I'm glad they gave her a skin and looking forward to other ideas Riot will come up with for her.
