Despite continuous nerfs over the past few months (years), I still love to play Karma. A few nerf examples: they removed the damage on her Mantra E shield, they removed one tick of damage on her W (which affects her passive --> ult cooldown negatively), they nerfed her mantra shield strength twice in a row, etc.

Karma's strength is adapting to the situation. I personally have much success with tank builds, or hybrid ones where you buy the stronger heal + shield items and either a lot of AP or tank stats. Her base numbers are still pretty high, and she has a diverse kit that is equipped to deal with almost any opponent. She might not be the one to make a Penta every game, but survivability and support characteristics make her right for many situations.
