|Long, but worthy comment!|

I guess i will be hated down, but old Karma is waaaaaay better than new one.

Karma wasn't ever weak. Bunch of numbers and arguments incoming!


 * 52% average win rate with Rabadon equipped, which means that real non-troll top/mid laner could win more than half of total games!


 * After long time, people paid some attention to her and she isn't anymore in 10 lowest win rate champions. Bah, she became even more popular than Galio!


 * Actually, there is a bunch of pros that love to play her.


 * New Karma sucks because her damage output is incredibly low. When people complained about high cooldowns of mantra, now it's raised almost twice and can't stack up to 2 times. When new Karma has better lane control without items, she is definitely worse than old.


 * Oh, don't forget about her passive. "It doesn't fits actual meta" Because dumb cooldown reduction by 1 second (hahahahahaha) for hitting enemy champion with spell or 0.5 for basic attacks is way better step into new meta than being powerful at low health, right? Old passive seems to match Very Healthy Meta, when new one is wonderfully dumb.


 * Having 40% cooldown reduction + high AP as old Karma gives even enough power to score a pentakill. Same stats for new Karma aren't enough to do anything. Her new skillset is lame in teamfights.


 * Old Karma in fact works best as top laner. At mid lane can act pretty well depending on enemy. Support Karma has pretty nice poke, but she isn't really best at this position. New Karma, mid lane? Really? With this skillset, she can maybe give up after 0/10. Top lane? Well, she could do that, but it depends. Support? She doesn't have her supporting power anymore. Nope, root and shield isn't way better than old supporting abilities.

What Riot should do? Slight buff. What they did? REWORK. Great job! Let's push her into deeper shame! They really stopped thinking recently.

Graphic rework? Awesome. But we all know what it is aiming it. Ah, doesn't really matters, still awesome.

Traditional Karma? Well done, but giving this skin to every player that purchases her before rework instead of before information about it is dumb as heck.

I really love old Karma. She is awesome, especially because people don't know how to play against her and their spam on chat is really funny when they lose against Karma. I've been kicking asses of such champions as Malphite, Darius, Garen, Rumble, Diana, Akali and much more. Weren't these considered as much better than her?

Is somebody going to stop Riot? I will be really disapointed if they will do that for real.
