Karma rocks... who's with me?!

[quote=Mrs Warboys]Been playing [[Karma]] a lot recently. She's awesome and I have no idea why people don't really play her more. Is it purely because of her lack of hard CC? She has a heal AND a shield, she can kite like a boss and her passive just makes her a monster at all stages of the game. The queen of baiting. On top of that, she has 2 highly damaging easy-to-hit AoE spells, with her [[Spirit Bond]] being another AoE (although I rarely use it for damage purposes). Her heal is disgusting, by end game you're healing around 13-15% of missing health on your whole team, coupled with shields that easily reach the 600-700 damage mark. I suppose she doesn't fit the current metagame very well (she's awesome at farming and is insanely effective with a Deathcap), but I bet one day the common man will realize that Karma is boss and supports don't have to play like little wusses anymore ;) When the metagame asks for an AP bruiser with mega support capabilities, Karma will be God Tier ;)[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]its because karma needs farm and everyone crys if their support even looks at a creep.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Ooh, OOH! MEMEMEMEMEMEME!! :3 I picked her up before she was... "mainstream"[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]^True, Lugi is kind of the Karma spokesman. Personally I don't find her bad, just a little outclassed by other supports (in the supportive area) and AP carries (in the damage area). There are a couple other champions with similar roles, like [[Morgana]], [[Orianna]], and [[Lux]]. I find them to be more effective. Sorry if I stepped on anybody's toes. If you love [[Karma]], then play her. Simple as that.[/quote]

[quote=Mrs Warboys]In the current metagame, I can imagine sticking her solo top, then having a more tanky based support at bot (Leona, Maokai, Alistar) could be viable. Basically you lose a farmed tanky DPS (Singed, Jarvan, Rumble, whoever is usually solo top) but you gain crazy team fight sustain and pushing power, as well as damage that's not to be sniffed at. AP Mid and Jungle stay the same. Then again, I've never been allowed to solo top as Karma... maybe she can't hold her own against a Cho'gath or something. Although, I can imagine she does well. Big shield, regular heals. Once she hits 6-7 she can just wipe out creep waves with her E(R) + Q combo.[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]I don't know if this is relevant or not, but I 1v2'd a Karma (and Renekton or something) in solo top as either Malphite or Cho'Gath (I forget). Her sustain is pretty annoying, but with consistent harass, [[Mantra]] can't keep her sustained for very long. She gets low pretty quickly, even with an ally to help her. Obviously a 1v1 lane would be different, but I think she'd be a bit too vulnerable to take on most solo tops. Especially aggressive ones like [[Renekton]] or [[Talon]].[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Talon shuts her down like any mage. 1v1, vs a melee with no jump, she's a beast. Shield harass when they last hit and deny it? OKAY![/quote]

[quote=Beeswarm17]Seriously, hitting a creep with an explosive shield is hilarious. Her heal isn't fantastic, but she plays a stronger AP then most. Plus that shield is so damn strong.[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]Karma is awesome solo top, she can win literally every lane she's up against and wins teamfights midgame alone with her huge teamfight presence(Strong burst, heal and shield and mass speedbuff/slow lol sup). Only bad thing about her is that she falls off lategame quite alot. Oh, and she's the queen of trolls. Kite ppl with 1hp all day and laugh your ass off at them dying.[/quote]
