Do you really know what old Karma was?

Can't tell how much i hate the moment when somebody says "stop complaining, old Karma was bad" etc. You really have no idea what it was before.

Her midlane in current moment is nonsense due to ridiculously low range, and her main damage is a quite slow missile that can't pass through minions. Same thing was with old one, but this is the thing - old Karma could go top. She had a form of heal that couldn't be denied by jumping out of her range, and could pass minions with spells while farming enemies out like hell. You could put skill points first in shield to deny all trades and get decent AoE burst quite oftenly, if you managed to spend Mantra stacks well.

If new Karma is better, then what is this buff chain supposed to be? She's got buffed so hard that her abilities are nearly 40% stronger than before, still not popular.

About rest of the champions: Well, the most underplayed champions are those which require some time to play in proper way and are currently known in other way those should be known. As you said, Mordekaiser is hardcore toplaner, while his popularity oftenly focuses at midlane. Heimer should be strong defensive pick at top, but try to tell people he isn't a midlaner, and they won't even take it serious.

Viktor, Nautilus and Ziggs are strong picks at their currently known lanes, and i wonder why aren't those popular. Though, isn't Viktor's laser hard to cast while using smartcasts? I don't use them, and people seem to smartcast very oftenly.

Tristana can lose to few carries, and the problem is - those "few" are most popular ones. And her killing power isn't really high until late game, even if it doesn't seems so, simply making her dependant on the support.
