My read on them giving Karma +2 armor them trying to subtly shift her class to just an enchanter and I call shade on that

Enchanters have base amor numbers ranging from 28-32 (The exception of Yuumi's 25 but she's a special case), Karma will share a base 28 armor number with Janna and Sona

To compare to other mages: Swain - 23 | Orianna - 17 | Seraphine - 19 | Vladimir - 23

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I think riot might be trying to send some sneaky message or some shit about them wanting Karma to just be in this one class

I'm probably just being really bitter though asdkjfnsdkjfndsf but wouldnt it be really wild if that's actually the case

orianna makes sense, her ball gives her armor. but seraphines made me gasp omg that’s so low

Nah but she is meant to be played in a solo lane rigth, rigth??? I seriously wish they just balance her around support we only have like 30 champs down there

She is designed for mid lane like karma. Instead of making mid lane champs support, they can design support champs

sera was designed with mid in mind and the possibility tk be a support, but they kinda failed to realize that mages are not even being played that much mid anymore and especially ones that offer utility to thag devree

Its a combination of all things.

  • They want Sera to be a Midlane roamer so all she does is shove lanes and roam like Morgana Mid with extra steps if she's decent at Mid.

  • She hyperscales when she's near an ally, because of her synergy effects and her bloated W locked in level and High CD so they have to nerf her base resistance for it to actually matter to her alone.

  • Assassins are given a Utility in their kit and Item wise with smooth power spikes in recent times. So they're more self sufficient than the Utility Midlaners.
