I'm damn sorry he's over halfway across the map and one of his buddies tried to burst me down. I'm also damn sorry that the player doesn't need much more than a Q and a R key on his keyboard to play the stupid character.


What makes his ultimate any different than Ezreal's, Ashe's, or Twisted Fate's. They are all abilities that allow the player to deal damage from across the map, and they are on lower cooldown's than his (at least Ashe's is). It doesn't even do much damage early game.

It is also quite hard to land your Lay Waste. I know longtime Karthus players can do it easy, but its harder than it looks. And why shouldn't we be rewarding players that are able to play their champion amazingly?
I argue a lot, don't mind me.

It's different because you have to put absolutely no effort in prediction. Even if it doesn't do much damage early game you're more succeptable to being bursted down early game and he's just there to herp derp R to finish you off.
Landing Lay Waste is easy as hell. I won't even argue this point.
Rewarding players that play their champions amazingly? If the champion is so damn easy to use what's the point of further rewarding the player? It's like giving the queen of England the winning lottery ticket.

That's an incredibly stupid argument..

Fine, I submit to you Mobafire greats.

However, I still think that his ultimate was not the problem.
I apologize if you think I'm an idiot.

Idiot? Far from it. No matter how much I hated the ultimate it wasn't that bad. Lower ratios = everything is fine. That 'Q' however.. Worse than two Requiems on top of each other.

You are not an idiot and shouldn't feel that way for voicing your opinion, this is a forum after all.

Like scrax said, the ultimate wasn't too bad. I used to play Karthus quite a bit and early game his ulti wasn't really a problem, it was more late game (where you could get 1k AP). Like they said in the patch, is only went down from 0.7 to 0.6, not a big difference. I think you will find better Karthus players now.

I never said you were an idiot, but that specific argument was really stupid.

I can control it pretty good most of the time, but when September ends, I just cant hold it in anymore. Whenever Im outside I see my brothers and sisters being chopped into soup, coffee, donuts, cake, drinks, bread - ppl even cut human faces into their skin, making a mockery out of their noble appearance. When I see things like that I cant control my pumpkin urges anymore. My natural instincts kick in. I then sit down motionless, while getting bright orange." - Morgana L

I think the main problem was that there was no counterplay to him. If he got fed, you couldn't do anything. If you killed him, he still killed you.

Lolwut, Karthus is the Anti-Shaco.

He goes invis? No problem, just use E.

He reappears, bursting down half your health. No problem, wall on him, keep E on, Q, Q, Q, Q. Dead Shaco :D

Maybe I just play against bad Shacos, but there is seriously no escaping for him.


I make sigs, PM me if you want one :D (Thanks for the Nidalee sig, The_Nameless_Bard!)
