I've been playing Karma something like 5-6 months before the rework, and all i can say is, if one of pros would ever pick her at top... Everything would change.

I swear, she was insanely good at top lane. Oh dear God. I can't believe how much champions i stomped down. There was literally almost no good counter. If you managed to get some items, you were able to burst carries down only by Q + RE + Lich Bane attack, while being more tanky than average mage.

Current Karma seems nonsense to me. She is worse right now. Only thing i really appreciate is RQ full damage, which is noticable, to be honest, VERY noticable. But that's all. You can't queue up two empowered spells.

She was one of those champions who luckily weren't popular. Luckily due to great possibilities. Maybe the passive only was underpowered, but it also had some powerspike, if you managed to shield and heal yourself while about to die from burst, your damage was noticably higher.

I'm proud to be one of few pre-rework Karma players, i'm sad since i didn't played her at ranked games too often. Being absolutely serious, i must say, if anything got all champions together and did some damage (like Galio's ult), she was able to instapentakill.
