Original Post — Direct link

Karma's W rework it was scrapped, apparently it didn't apply to her overall theme... Yet, here we are with Yone. From the original rework of her W, her soul could temporarily root and damage anyone she passed through.

That’s pretty cool. I wonder why it was scrapped

Hey that's me. If it worked like Yone's E, it wouldn't really make sense with the rest of her kit because she doesn't have many incentives to move her body forward like this while being vulnerable, the incentive on this version of the kit was that enemies would be rooted by the tether, but Karma wouldn't engage in this gameplay if she would actually take damage, imagine walking face first into a Zed or ADC. I think this version made you resistant to damage or snap back if your spirit died or something, it was just leading to "Karma walks on top of you for a guaranteed root and Mantra Q's".
