Karma’s new bio is so much better than before
Thank you Riot for releasing the updated Bio and listening to player feedback. For those who don’t know Karma’s old bio was released at the time Irellia’s rework came out, however the bio seemed overall poorly done. But recently Riot’s updated the bio, and it is leagues better than it was before.
The main problem was the first bio didn’t really mesh with Karma’s old theme of taking drastic action when necissary and instead painted Karma as nothing but a pacifist that was punished and chastised for trying to stop the Noxian invaders. That mixed with the lack of character in her story made the bio very forgettable compared to most. But now it’s pretty good,

Karma silenced them with a raised hand. Though she could still hear the voices in her head, it was the Spirit of Ionia in her heart that guided her…. She did not know if she had been chosen for her courage and strength of will, but Karma knew that sometimes harmony came only at a great cost.”
THIS. This is how I imagined Karma. She wants peace she wants harmony, she’d love nothing more to just not harm a single soul, but she recognizes the fact that it’s not possible in runeterra’s state. She’s powerful, she’s brave, SHE’S Karma, and though sometimes she’s unsure if she made the right choice, she’ll never regret the choices she makes. This paragraph alone made up for the old lore for me.
Their world was changing, and true wisdom lay not in resisting that fact, but accepting it.
