Please for the love of God revert Karma lore and come up with something else

Or even, ignore her like you did for the past 4 years. I know you have put a lot of effort into this but I'm gonna say it directly: it sucks. This is not the Karma I (and I'm sure many others) fell in love with. A fucking passive pacifist who can't even attack? Are you serious? Wtf was wrong with the old lore? You just had to improve it like you did with the Nami lore. She had lots of potential lore wise. I'm speechless and disgusted at this piece of garbage I'm reading. At this point it was better when she was nonexistent. And this happened right when I was thinking "look how good Riot is :) they fucked up with the Varus lore and now they don't want to leave players unsatisfied with the Nauti lore ;;;;;;;)))))))))))))" but of course you had to prove me wrong.

This is so frustrating in so many levels, people ask for Karma to be looked at for 4 YEARS and the only rioter who speaks about her is Meddler. Couldn't you ask Karma players what they liked about old Karma too? And why did she even have to be changed into this unoriginal corny ass Soraka 2.0? I can't even play Karma right now without having anxiety because I know that if you changed her like that in the lore gameplay developers will follow her thematic and change her into some Soraka/Janna/whatever the fuck. Sorry for sounding mad, I know you updated her lore with the good intentions but when she gets ignored for so many years and touched just to be changed into something else lore wise (and watch, because of this she's gonna be ruined gameplay wise too when she receives attention in season 54) it's BEYOND frustrating.

Edit: actually, I don't even find the lore a "piece of garbage", I think it's a cool lore but to think that Karma has come to this just... why? Soraka is my favourite champion and I like a lot Karma for a reason too, but why would I like a Soraka 2.0 that cosplays green lantern after this?

It's bad. Like they did 5 years ago, it is just another reason to make one champion shine while taking away what made another amazing. Karma had her fans, shield bomb, and elegant and graceful demeanor all taken away. All of the listed concepts and themes were put on Ivern, Irelia and her fans will go to a new champion. Are we noticing a trend here? The trend is they purposely want Karma to be nothing and she will continue to be nothing. The proof is in the Developer's track record. I actually like the Irelia lore update but it had to be at the expense of an identity and cool lore for Karma . . . again. Karma is now a pacifist that does nothing and is a rival to Irelia.

They won't. Other champions have had it far, far worse with their new lore updates. Pantheon's lore retcon still infuriates me to this very day, and Varus's new lore is just a mistake in every way imaginable.

Unpopular opinion: I like the new karma lore

Worse, it's Unironically up-voted dribble.

Just have a headcanon and stick with it.

Yes, I agree. I am now nervous about what they will do to Karma if they follow this lore path. She's perfect the way she is and they just spit on it. I hope they dont change her gameplay AND REVERT HER LORE,

Karma's getting screwed over? Must be a day that ends in 'Y'.
