Another blog in one day you ask? Yes, yes, I do have another blog that is being posted, I don't know, maybe an hour after the first? This blog is not a personal one though, "Hallelujah," you are probably thinking. This one is different than those other ones. This one is a review on Karma's new re-work. If you guys have not seen her new skills, here they are:
Gathering Fire
Damaging enemy champions with abilities refreshes 1 / 1.5 / 2 seconds of Mantra's cooldown, and half that amount on basic attacks against enemy champions.
Inner Flame
RANGE: 950 COOLDOWN: 7 / 6.5 / 6 / 5.5 / 5 COST: 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 mana
ACTIVE: Karma fires a ball of energy that detonates on hitting an enemy, damaging and slowing surrounding enemies by 25% for 1.5 seconds.
MAGIC DAMAGE: 60 / 110 / 160 / 210 / 260 (+60% AP)
MANTRA BONUS: Inner Flame deals bonus magic damage and leaves a ??-diameter AoE that slows enemies inside by 50%. After 1.5 seconds the area detonates, damaging enemies inside. If Inner Flame does not strike a target, the area is created at maximum range.
Soulflare scales with ranks in Mantra.
BONUS MAGIC DAMAGE: 25 / 75 / 125 / 175 (+30% AP)
DETONATION MAGIC DAMAGE: 50 / 150 / 250 / 350 (+60% AP)
Focused Resolve
RANGE: ?? COOLDOWN: 16 / 15.5 / 15 / 14.5 / 14 COST: 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 / 110 mana
ACTIVE: Karma forms a ??-range tether to target enemy champion, revealing and damaging the target over 2 seconds at 0.33-second intervals. If the tether is not broken after the 2 seconds, the target is rooted.
MAGIC DAMAGE: 60 / 110 / 160 / 210 / 260 (+60% AP)
ROOT DURATION: 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2
MANTRA BONUS: Focused Resolve deals bonus damage and heals Karma for a percentage of her missing health over the 2 seconds.
Renewal scales with ranks in Mantra.
BONUS MAGIC DAMAGE: 75 / 150 / 225 / 300 (+60% AP)
TOTAL HEAL: 25% of missing health (+1% per 100 AP)
Inspire
RANGE: 800 COOLDOWN: 12 COST: 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 mana
ACTIVE: Karma shields target ally for 4 seconds and grants the target bonus movement speed for 1.25 seconds.
SHIELD: 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 (+50% AP)
MOVEMENT SPEED: 20% / 30% / 40% / 50% / 60%
MANTRA BONUS: Inspire's shield is increased by a bonus amount. Defiance grants this bonus shield and Inspire's bonus movement speed to other allied champions within ?? range of the target while damaging enemies in the same area.
Defiance scales with ranks in Mantra.
BONUS SHIELD/SHIELD AURA: 30 / 70 / 110 / 150 (+30% AP)
MAGIC DAMAGE: 60 / 140 / 220 / 300 (+60% AP)
Mantra
COOLDOWN: 45
ACTIVE: Karma empowers her next ability cast within the next 8 seconds, adding an additional effect. Empowered abilities use the same cooldown as their basic form.
Karma begins with one rank in Mantra and can increase it at levels 6, 11, and 16.
Ranks in Mantra improve the additional effects of empowered abilities.

Ok, there it is. Now for the "review" part. Over all I like her, but I think she does not have the same feel as the old Karma if you have ever played her. She is now, in my opinion, more of a AP Caster instead of those semi AP Support champions. Though I must say, her new skills are put together quite nicely and she can still be an asset to her team while doing a good amount of damage. To me, she is not a burst AP person like Fizz or Gragas. She is one that sustains well while doing bits of damage at a time until you can finally take down the enemy. He passive is quite nice, though I think her ultimate should still have the mantra stacks (like they used to) so that she can do two mantras one after the other. I do miss her heal though, but her W some what makes up for it by healing Karma when mantra is activated. I believe that her shield will be a huge asset to the team, as she can shield the whole team with mantra. She is also one that you can build a tank, AP, support, and maybe even top (I like this about champions). All of her other skills though are wonderful in my opinion, and I do look forward to playing her often. Have any further questions about the re-work and what I think about it? Comment below with those questions and some of your views on the new re-work. Thanks for reading my review and as always- Treat one another as you wish to be treated.
See you all later,

After playing 2 games of
-About 90% of the skills I use is her Q, which is the only skill one
This is mainly due to the fact that her W lacks range and her E, well, it's useful but not quite as much.
Her Q can farm, harass and deal a good chunk of damage. Also, it has like a cooldown of like 3.5 with an usual itembuild and is very spammable.
-I'm not quite sure why, but she doesn't run out of mana easily.
I really don't know the reason for the, since her Q takes a decent amount of mana, but most probably because her ult is free.
-Utterly sqishy.
I rush early MR in my lane but she still feels very easy to kill or atleast lethally injure.
Maybe they did that to balance out her big shield.
-Her passive is useful but rather unspectacular.
It feels like a very short time to wait for her ult once she is around lvl 16, but until then, the waiting time is far too long. They should either make her able to have 2 stacks with out her passive working on the second one or let her regain one quicker at early levels.
-Her E still feels like the same ability with a speed buff.
The main probblem here is that you will almost never use it as Ap
i do agree that her shield feels stronger now though.
Conclusion:
All in all I can say I find her to be balanced, but not really op. Build some cdr on her, it scales very well. Her ap ratios are fine and her ult cooldown is too long at early levls.
Thanks for reading.
This I agree some with. I agree that it seems she does not run out of mana that quickly, unless you spam Q whenever it comes back. I do not find her squishy though, I find her quite sustainable. If you play middle lane, all you have to do is spam your Q, and if they come near you, punish them by using W and Q and use E if necessary.
Don't know if I am just not playing her well, but oh well-

Sorry that the review is not very detailed, as I am new to blogging and doing reviews. I hope to become a better one in the future though.
Until next time,
