At first I was like "Ok so they made Karma more fanservicey" but then realized that they pretty much have changed everything about her. this isn't Karma. She has a new look, new skills, new background, new Lore, new design and doesn't use her trademark weapons anymore.
The only thing they haven't changed about her is:
A) Her name
B) She's female
C) she's Ionian.
While I like "New" Karma and look forward to seeing her skills, it still seems like a massive change. I personally liked how Old Karma played, they could have just buffed her. and I personally liked her appearance too, she seemed grand and majestic and mystical. Whereas right now she reminds me too much of Syndra, and has an added layer of exposed skin to make her more in line with recent female champions.
That being said, I also personally love her skin colour (though the Splash Art doesn't reflect the skin colour she has in game)
I dunno, i'm of mixed opinions about this. They say that she's been changed to be a "badass conduit of inner strength that brings Ionias strength to every battlefield." rather than a "matronly diplomat" but I personally liked that about her. This new character seems like too much of a generic fighter.
I think being a passive diplomat and a calm, powerful woman are more fit to rule a nation than a young enchantress in a skimpy dress running into a battlefield.
