I don't know Old Karma by anything other than text, but I don't like this kit very much, as it is mostly a revert to it.

I find Q to be mostly a boring skill, not to mention the fact that it's going to be all but impossible to land the damage on its own, or the fact that you don't know if it's there for the damage or the immunity. Her current Q is just better imo.

W is really more interesting though, and I don't understand why Riot hasn't made anything like this since.

I'm just not a fan of the "iconic shield bomb". It's a weaker Zilean Q before Zilean got this changed into a ground-targeted skill. While a shield being targeted makes sense, it's just not that interesting.

I do like the passive and ultimate interaction, but I'm disappointed overall by the Mantra bonuses, apart from E and maybe W. Plus reverting to the six-level abilities was a good move, as leveling up Mantra never really brought that much.

I just don't like that her damage has become delayed and mostly unreliable due to short ranges and delays, all while the utility she brings isn't anything to write home about. That, and the fans just don't click with me. =/

PS: I'd play her full tank though.
