The remake is pretty decent in terms of damage, but her skillset feels a lot more generic than it did before the remake. This is mostly because we are essentially pigeon-holed into playing her mid AP. I don't know why they neglected her previous support/utlity role so much. I especially dislike the leash which feels like a bad imitation of Leblanc's leash. It really destroys this character in terms of originality. Eeeeehhhhh no. I like her now. She's a fun AP mid who can bring a variety of tools to teamfights, has excellent waveclear, and has really tight animations. I think you're really getting too hung up on "This ability feels like X!". It was always a leash that slowed (much like LeBlanc's), and the root is much better from a utility perspective, especially considering she now has a spammable slow. If we complain about ability that feels like another, there would be no one happy because we'd only have like 10 "original" champions on the game. She still has a support/utility role. Late game, you have damage yes, but your main role is locking down a diver with W, slowing and zoning with Q, and shielding targets with E. She still feels more fresh than other champions that came out recently. | ||

I mean, they straight out said Ultimate is a reimagining with upgrades and completely new animations/voice overs - like Pulsefire. Is giving Anivia a dark skin and some metal really that different? | ||

I knew this reasoning would come up to excuse what I feel is a pretty poor execution for a remake from Riot. It's pretty much the idea that, in my opinion, her current form feels nothing like her old form. As I said, nothing is wrong with the damage, but her feel is destroyed compared to her old version. I'm not entirely sure why someone would pick her as support in her current form at all. It's just very very hard to justify. I know why someone would pick her as an AP mid though. Of course, I could be wrong, but I cannot think this Karma was designed for both support and AP solo lane in mind. To me, it feels like Riot definitely abandoned the support prospect to cater to the Karma solo lane players. I'd also like to add that if someone does pick Karma as a solo lane AP role, I do not think that they will be satisfied with how her "ult" is used/feels now due to this change in Riot mindset. Other mids have a much more satisfying factor with their ults. | ||

Have you seen the skin? It's got brand new voice overs, new spell animations, and is awesome from a lore POV as well. | ||

To me, it feels like Riot definitely abandoned the support prospect to cater to the Karma solo lane players. Oh. In that case, I can understand where you're coming from. I agree that Support Karma feels almost non-existent in her current state, but let's be honest, was she before? In the long run, I honestly feel that AP/Support hybrids are hard to make work. A nice balance was struck with Morg, and somewhat with Lux and Zyra, but then it really boils down to "Here's some kits with high CC that don't need farm, but if you get farm they can also do damage". Adding heals into the mix (especially those scaling with AP) gets problematic and imbalanced one way or another (see: Soraka Mid, though that was also due a lot to the free manapool). I mean, in my eyes Lux/Morg/Zyra(/somewhat Janna) already feel pretty similar, and adding another "ranged AP Support caster" with a redesigned Karma would just be overkill and a bit boring. Maybe it's just me :\ | ||

Or have it have a dual aspect, like a lot of lulu skills. | ||
