Less good for pubstomp, since it requires a lot of coordination with mantra stacks/leash/etc.... | ||

but anyway, Karma is more about bullying people around via attrition, whereas Cass is about pure damage. soooo, I dunno, any lane where Cass might not be able to easily retaliate in burst trades, Karma should be able to do better via shielding herself/outranging the opponent via mantra shielding creeps. Karma also can just insta-push lanes really early which lets her ruin a lot of people who can't last hit well under a tower. | ||

Aside: Cass can also instapush really hard. I think they're equivalent in that regard. Edit: I'm considering buying cdr blues and quints for Karma and rushing NMST's evil Tome for quick max cdr. Worth it? Maybe different item? | ||

Also, I know this is gonna shatter your world but... CDR is an overrated stat on Karman. Resistances and AP are better on her. I like CDR boots, but morello's is just... so underwhelming IMO. Also I love getting blue as Karman, so that might have something to do with it, but I mean, I would never pick Karman if I couldn't hog my team's blues. | ||

Oh shit, never even noticed the 1% that went wasted. Not that 1% is really relevant, maybe on a nocturne ultimate or something. You would think they would just make it 40 even, but i guess not. Nice pickup smash. ^_^ | ||

Smash on your stream that initiation with Karma was unreal. At first i thought you had made a mistake but then you tore them apart. From the games I've played it feels like her shields are applied post-mitigation which makes opening Abyssal Scepter feel really abusive. Is this true or do her shields not take mitigation into account? (if i find someone to test with I'll try tonight). One little thing I've noticed in the earlier laning phase that is pretty nice is your harrass also has the ability to completely clear a creep wave. So if can coordinate it you can hit the enemy and the wave with mantra'd e + q, and then they will also take a full round of your caster minions attack. | ||

As far as I know every shield in the game works just like extra HP (i.e. the damage the shield takes is affected by your armor and MR). | ||

That's why if you're shielding yourself as Karman, you need to build some mitigation, but if you're just letting Singed 1v5 the opposing team and then shielding him you can afford to just bumrush Deathcap. It's also why I fucking hate all the Sion builds that don't grab Negatron + Chainvest after their Deathcap. | ||
