User blog:AlexHawks/Karma rework - A closer view.

Hello. I'm just an another traditional Karma player.

I used to play traditional(old) Karma alot and enjoyed doing that. She was underplayer, but wasn't underpowered. Karma was a really strong champion, with alot of great combos. But still, riot did remake Karma.

Old Karma was really strong thanks to these facts: Now let's compare it to the new one. Keep in mind that we, Karma players didn't actually want a rework. We only wanted a buff. If a rework would be completely different, then maybe. Just maybe. And it's not just me, new Karma actually has LESSER win and pick rates than the old one.
 * Karma could AOE heal, while AOE bursting whole enemy team, while being really tanky, while dissing out tons of damage.
 * She was a great splitpusher thanks to her Q and E (mantra)
 * She had a great passive, providing her alot of AP, while her new passive is only a buff to the ultimate.
 * She could have 2 mantras with a much shorter cooldown, which made her extremely interesting to play.
 * She had the strongest shield in game, which could protect from 4-5turret hits at max rank.
 * She can't heal her teammates.
 * She can't splitpush that fast.
 * She can't really be the tanky mage she used to be.
 * She relies on her ultimate too much, especialy with a cooldown that long.
 * She practicly has no passive.
 * Her Q is very easy to dodge.
 * Her passive is bugged, and doesn't count if you hit multiple opponents at the same time.
 * Her W's heal doesn't pay off her initial squishyness.
 * She now depends way too much on cooldowns, putting her on a dangerous risk after using one of her abilitys.

She is weaker now, but she is also full of bugs. Her passive is not working properly, and also, her Q is bugged.

Here's a reddit thread explaining Karma's Q

What would fix the new Karma?

It would be hard, but I'm guessing that the new Karma can only be fixed like this:

Giving her Q 3times faster projectile speed.

Inscreasing W's damage 5times.

Doubling E's Shield and damage.

Giving her Ultimate 10seconds cooldown.

Maybe then, she can be viable again.
