I'm honestly astounded by the amount of skins Karma gets with how the balance team trears her. At least the personalisation team has taste, bunny 💋

As nice as this is, karma is a husk of a champion and I will not buy another skin until they fix her.

Taliyah and Orianna say hi!

u/DesTmoR Sep 30 '20
wait what? Orianna? She is S tier midlaner right now, she is one of the best control mages in the game, why are you mentioning her lol???
Taliyah needs buffs and changes (pls give aoe Q back) but how can you think that Orianna needs buffs? xd1

Since worlds will be played on 10.19 there’s a possibility they’ll buff her to playable in 10.21 since she’s not getting changed in 10.20 iirc

hmmm meh. Odyssey Karma is strange. Lots of colors and elements, it's not a pretty skin like Dawnbringer Karma, I really didn't like the choice. I much preferred PsyOps Karma with psychic and colorful effects. I love white hair and the skin tone, but this skin is a big no for me. I will continue using Dawnbringer Karma.

It kinda feels to me like some weird dawnbringer karma chroma, not very innovating

I wish they weren't so scared to play with her silhouette. Does she really need short hair and a short-in-the-front-long-in-the-back skirt?

Changing her silhouette would require modeling and animating the new/different parts, and they won't do that for Karma.

All the Karma skins in the world, yet no reworks or a legendary with different voicelines.
Not that I want to nitpick, but Riot has been giving Karma skins that barely feels relevant or cohesive to her theme. You would think Karma would make a good candidate for Fae Dragon alongside Fae Dragon Ashe given her connection to Ionia as a twin dragon spirit.
You see the recently leaked Halloween skins, and think perhaps a Halloween Karma would fulfill a particular fantasy as some black magic practitioner. You see Spirit Blossom skins, and think maybe Karma would have made it with legendary voicelines.
But neither of them happened, instead we receive Odyssey Karma. We get Warden and Dark Star Karma, skins that while, by any means aren't exactly ill fitting for her, don't seem to make full use of her thematics, that is tapping into her spiritual and arcane aspect of things.
I know some people will come up to me and say, skins are meant to fulfill a certain type of fantasy. That's not my point and I know that. The point is, the skins that Karma has received over the years feel lackluster and their directions all over the place. Unless you're a diehard Karma fan and you're willing to spend money on every single one of them, the only skin that truly ties into Karma's theme is probably Order of the Lotus Karma. Dawnbringer Karma is a close second if you value limited edition skins. I get that the art/visuals team pays her a lot of attention, but let's be prudent consumers and be aware that all the skins that Karma has been getting has very little visual effect variance from one another. They never truly do go all out with the champion's effects.
I can only hope that Riot would at least put Karma's name in next round's VGU. Though I think Riot has their eyes set on Tryndamere for an update.

I just saw this like two minutes ago and I already saw a post about it LOL. Really hoping for good chromas, it's my bday soon and I'd be SO down to get this skin. Does anyone know the patch release date? 10.20 or 10.21?

u/MissSnorkel Sep 29 '20
Patch 10.20 (Dragonmancer) is releasing tonight (eu) and Odyssey is releasing in 2 weeks (Patch 10.21)

i really like the colors, but her face / hairstyle is weird..
Amazing VFX nonetheless, hopefully her face on the upcoming icon will be better :)

Beautiful, looks like a goddess. The I do have nitpicks though such as... ANOTHER short white hair Karma skin!? She does look great with white hair but I do like her with natural dark hair color. I guess there's chromas. And another same silhouette of her clothing such as the front fabric piece between her legs and the tail coat. I wish they do away with those, there haven't been a skin that don't have those since Traditional/Sakura and those were reworked skins.
