User blog comment:AlexHawks/Karma rework - A closer view./@comment-5764133-20130413125607

Played the old and the new and well the facts talk by themselves. She was too much of a niche and most teams failed to synergise with her strange kit that favored bruisers,  Her heal shield combo was the main strength of her but it stopped there. Her normal abilities where a lackluster as some others said and whats worse the skillshot heal was sometimes impossible to realiable use in battle with the ton of gapclosers there are in the game. As a APC her laning wasn't bad at all she could bully and safe trade sorta garen mid but she was vastly outclassed by other choices that had a better lategame where she would return to a bursty support and was not much meningful to waste. Some buffs would have her done enough for her to make up as a support but would have been a pain to balance? The new one is still a WIP and a fail that needs to be worked on. Her W>Q2 plainly does not work they tried fix it but is nowhere near reliable. I found more reliable to W2>E>Q and stick until it does some damage but it's nothing great for a DoT especially one so short ranged that anyone could break. She is good or to better say promising but still a lackluster.
