Finnlay Riot remakes Karma but...

Asked by Tatticadanit0 on March 29, 2013

I think has benn nerfed with this rework, let's take a look at the skill.
[*] Well, the old passive was way too better. This passive can be useful in a support role but Riot says they want to put in the mid lane.
[*] Riot wants to put karma in the mid lane so the heal has been removed and i think its not good but i think its correct.
[*] Well, Riot changes this skill and now this is not a support skill anymore.
[*] This skill is just better cause Riot add the movement speed boost.
[*] Now this skill doesnt work with ammo system and has like 40 Sec CD, its just worst.
I hope i expleined all in the right way ;)
P.S. sorry for my bad english.

I will break down each skill individually for you.

: I will start with because it is kind of the whole concept that revolves around. The change to it allows 's ability effects to be a lot more powerful because there is only in a sense one ability at a time since there is no longer "ammunition".

: This makes having one charge of okay because if you are constantly landing your AoE abilities on champions you can easily get the cooldown of to 0.

: Allows to sit further back in teamfights. Before, the old relied on getting very close to land an AoE Fan Ability. This is very spammable as well. The added cc to it gives her even more utility.

: Well, I would definitely not say that it isn't a support skill. It definitely makes her roaming potential a lot stronger. The only down side to the change is that you can no longer use it on allies to give a speed boost. However, the speed boost has been added to her ability .

: Didn't undergo as large of a change as the other abilities, but the change to the effect to give an AoE Shield is quite nice.

In summary, sure isn't as much of a support anymore, but she still provides a lot of utility to the team even when she is in the AP Carry Role.

Before she could sustain a team but didnt have much beyond that. Now she has a little of everything (Minus AoE heals) and I think that will put her into top tier, be it support or mid, in my opinion.

I'm sorry if my message was that support was bad. I feel that her overall role in general on a team is just a lot stronger in general. I just feel that now with the crowd control that she provides she is a very strong roamer and has damage to support it.

She's actually better at support now. Her base damage is insane, and she has amazing utility and pretty good CC. Old couldn't support for **** because she had a ****py slow, and otherwise pitiful damage with no AP. She's also better at mid because she has easier burst and sustained damage and her abilities are less clunky. Also 40% CDR makes her s fly left and right like they are nothing.

To answer the "question"; she was definitely buffed.

is more useful in my opinion. If a mage is low on health, the chances of them staying low on health are slim to none, considering how focused they are.

and are a lot more powerful in my opinion. doesn't have her heal, sure, but those skills are POWERFUL. Maxed ? AoE that does 500 damage WITHOUT ability power calculations. That's drool-worthy.

And this isn't a "Question". You would have done better making a "blog entry".

Sorry, I did not know the existence of the "blog entry"

She deals more damage, but supports less due to the missing aoe heal.

The slows, snares and shield are still enough though.
She is strong, stronger than before.
