Karma as a pacifist.

While I know Riot can only work as fast as they can, I still find myself getting excited at he prospect of far off releases.

Karma’s new lore sets her up to be a strict pacifist. While her current kit doesn’t really portray that aspect too much, I believe that a future Karma rework would be able to go in very interesting directions to match more closely with the new lore.

Something similar to Smite’s Ganesha would be interesting to see in LoL.

Destroy a decent kit many players are used to in order to make it mesh with poorly-written, poorly-received lore?

Not only does that sound stupid, it is literally against Riot's manifesto.

No. They need to change the lore that no one likes. This is just something else they are doing to make Karma nothing more than a rock.

Honestly I don't have much of a problem with Karma being a pacifist.......at least for now.

They could make it so that Karma goes through some character progression afterwards and comes to the conclusion that she should use her powers offensively after all. I mean the rest of her was actually ok with killing one person,she just messed up and is now trying to make up this mistake.

It could even lead up to a situation where Karma ends up having to balance offense and mercy in the best way,with her loosing the connection to some of her past selves(and thus some of her wisdom),when using her powers for harm,while gaining them back when she uses them to protect others,finding the right balance between protecting and destroying(and balance was always a big part of her character). Heck I could actually see something like this as a cool ingame mechanic.(Kinda hope she'd get the next Aatrox-level update after Aatrox).

I have no doubt the LU for Karma will be better for her in the long run.

I’d like to see something like Karma’s original passive where she gained AP the more health she was missing. It’d fit with her lore since even Karma (the deity not the woman) said they would kill one to set an example after the damage noxious did.

Just don’t make it flat AP hain, that’s too hard to balance, maybe like % bonus magic damage. She could also grant extra shielding to lower health targets too.

it's not karma that has to shift to pure pacifism based on her new bio...its rather the new bio that HAS to be changed into what and how karma has/used to be like..and yes, the community's opinion should have an impact on any upcoming work..as i do respect ur opinion but i can never agree with it and neither would anyone else.
