Order of the Lotus Karma

Picked this up from a chest last month and wasn't expecting much since I'm usually running Dark Star or Dawnbringer on Karma. After about 55 games though, Order of the Lotus has become my go-to when I need that extra clarity in teamfights.

The Q feels way cleaner than base skin, especially when you're weaving autos between casts. Her mantra E actually saved my ADC during a dragon fight yesterday because the shield animation is so much more visible compared to other Karma skins. I could see exactly when it popped and timed my second rotation perfectly. The tether on W has this subtle lotus effect that makes it easier to track in messy fights too. But what really sells it is the ult indicator. You know that split second where you're deciding between RQ for poke or RE for the save? The lotus petals around her make it insanely clear when mantra's up, even in peripheral vision.

Compared to Dawnbringer which I mained forever, this skin just feels more responsive. The animations don't have that slight delay that tilts me on her base model. And the recall is probably one of the cleanest in her collection. Is Order of the Lotus Karma worth it though? For 975 RP it's not breaking the bank, and you're getting solid visual clarity without the flashiness that makes you a target.

This isn't pay-to-win or anything, but if you're a support main who values clean visuals over particle spam, you should buy Order of the Lotus Karma. My experience with Order of the Lotus Karma has been surprisingly positive, and I think most Karma players would appreciate the subtle improvements once they adjust to it.
