LoL ranked teamFollow

#1 Dec 07 2011 at 10:18 PM Rating: Decent
So I've decided we need to make a LoL ranked team and do our best at it.

So please apply here, and leave your summoner name so others can add you if they don't have you.

I'm Ikkian, btw.

I don't know how much I'll be able to play this upcoming week as it is Finals Season here at the university.

I do know, however, that the most important part of a team is it's name. You gotta be able to sell the brand.

You've never played with a good Karma. Or tried her on Dominion.

Karma is awesome for a couple reasons. Let's see what she has going for her:

- One of the most powerful shields in the game
- A heal that can hit your entire team
- A slow debuff on the enemy
- A haste buff that can also hit your entire team
- An awesome passive
- Two AoE damage abilities
- She can be practically unkillable

She's the single most versatile support in the entire game.

The downside? She is pretty team reliant, so you're only going to be good with her if your team is good, and she has a high skill curve.

She doesn't have the straight up heals that Soraka the Ambulance does, she doesn't have real CC, and she doesn't deal ZOMGHUGE carry-like damage. But she does have an awesome shield, a great speed buff/debuff, a heal that can work miracles in a teamfight, and has respectable AoE damage, especially when her passive kicks in.

So no, Karma isn't "terribad". She just requires more of the player, something a lot of people haven't taken the time to figure out. And that's before even talking about Dominion, which isn't lolboring, but that's a preference thing.

your opinion would matter more if you weren't level 20 with 18 SR wins.

And your opinion would matter more if you actually provided a counter argument instead of just "herpderpno"

Obviously I'm not going to be on a ranked team with level 20, but the few wins are because I play Dominikn much more than classic SR. Not that you'd care, since Dominion is "boring."

Karma isn't a bad champ. She's a utility box, not a carry.

This is coming from someone with more than 18 wins.

The problem with Karma is that she is AP dependent. Her shield and her heal are both terrible without large amounts of AP. Unfortunately AP items cost gold, which means to farm her up you are going to be stealing cs from your lane partner, which means you aren't a support anymore. As mentioned already, Karma isn't a carry. Even with AP she doesn't have the burst capabilities of other APs

She has no place in the current meta.

The issue with that is that you're assuming she's taking the full on support role - she's not built like that. Karma is much more like Lux or Morgana: an AP caster with support built in. Certainly not a carry, but with AP her attacks will hit hard and she provides much more support. You're right, Karma does need CS to succeed. Gp5 simply won't cut it for the AP items she requires. But you don't have to be stuck in bottom babysitting for her to be effective.

If you give her, say, solo top, then she will shine.

Except unlike Lux or Morganna, she has no form of hard CC to bring to a fight.

Even with high CS, she's only mediocre.
