i understand the anon's point, but i don't think these things make Karthus op, unless by his very NATURE he's op. no nerf outside of reducing his R's damage to near nothing or changing his ult completely will have much of an effect on karthus, most of his usefulness is sealing the fate of enemies. His damage with his AoE and lay waste is rather normal for a caster. sure his lay waste does insane damage at later levels, but that's only against squishies and people dumb enough to stay around him long enough to get hit by him. if you're having problems against karthus just remember what he does. When you're near him for a long time he can do crazy damage to you. When you are low on health, or even at about 40% health at late game, he can kill you from across the map. Get A: Hexdrinker, B:Banshee's Veil, C:Zhonya's Hourglass, or D:All of the above if he's that much of a problem. A if you're dps and don't wanna sacrifice too much damage for some defenses against him (it cuts out 300 damage from his ult if the shield manages to be on) and the hourglass does the same for casters, except its counter is more effective as you avoid all damage. Banshee's speaks for itself.
