If you were more a bit more experienced with Karma you'd be popping R anywhere from 3-7s before you actually throw the Q (or E or W, whatever) because the CD of her R starts from when you press the key not from when you cast the empowered ability. You can obviously insta R-Q when you must hit them ASAP, but zoning and mind gaming with R popped but holding Q for a few seconds is almost always optimal, if only for the extra pressure it puts on your opponent to pay close attention to your dumb lil champ for up to 8 seconds straight over and over and..
A few extra notes to add onto this: Using R earlier is also good because the cooldown starts immediately when you activate R, not after you use an empowered ability. You can also do Q, and then immediately R before Q hits to setup an R and also get the -5s from Q without committing to a specific R ability. You can hide the mantra animation/noise a bit by using another ability right before it.
21:10 You do get healed when you ult + W the normal monsters. Any time you use your Mantra W you will get healed. Also, if your target dies it will instantly proc the second wave of healing.
Radiant Virtue Karma is some of the biggest fun i had in League, tho i prefer getting Spellbook + Red tree to get as much item cdr as possible and getting Minion demat
Love combining this item with staff of flowing water for extra ability haste for my team and extra shields / heals. Usually go the sorcery route with aery and hunter (red tree), indigenous hunter (CDR on Items) and Taste of Blood (R+W More healing output) Been able to spam R+E 3-4x in every fight, so fun !
21:10 u can mantra w on large monsters to heal, unless they changed it recently. id probably rather build locket instead just bc this item keeps on randomly getting proceed and u do no dmg to things like waves without emp q. ik magifelix went locket before, not sure what he goes now
I love this new mythic item, i used it on Renata in aram such a cool way to get more value out of her ult. (With full build it's almost the same CD as her ult a little lower, with ulitmate hunter her ults lower by around 5 secs than it
i tried this build with this rune page : First Strike, Stopwatch, Biscuit, Cosmic insight (for item haste), cheap shot and ingenious hunter. With this rune page you have radiant virtue every 30 sec, it's really fun to play !
Yeah thats exactly what I commented. He only needed like 1 auto and the W would have definitly done it. I'm assuming he was trying to wait for E shield and then RW. But he should have just pressed W.
Not gonna watch this one probably so maybe you mention it in the video, but if not I'll just throw this out into the world. Wouldn't ingenious hunter be good with this build since Karma's ult is so low cooldown? Brings radiant virtue down to like 40 second cooldown, and you'll basically have ult every time radiant virtue is up anyway.
Actually Mantra W is criminally underused. It DOES icnrease root duration by a lot, most efficient combo for damage, cc, heal (everywthing) is reglar Q into mantra w into another Q from increased CC duration. Most people jsut Mantra Q and w and next Q is a flip with WAY less CC
At ~15:43 we saw a lot of team members go top side to kill the Fiora and she backs off. What happens of Pekin chooses to stay bot and kill the next wave here? In my (gold) opinion, I would stay for the next wave and try to hit tower to punish people going top. Is it not good because a lack of wave clear and will put Karma and Fiora off sync for back timers?
@@shubhod9569 Aah I didn't consider that angle. Rift herald was up and they took it. Perhaps there was a world where splitting too long gives too much control of that side when Baron eventually spawns. Also stacking for a herald would definitely out push Karma in that instance.
I think it's because Karma is really bad at taking towers so staying to kill one more wave and then get a few autos on the towers isnt worth it for tempo. Someone would be arriving soon to match him so backing to spend his gold and getting back on the map is better. He can be on time to contest the rift push with his team.
How would I set it up in client for my clicking the mouse would auto self-cast? When I try to hit Q and mouse click in settings for the self-cast bindings (for q abilities, other letters for other spots), only q pops up, so I am afraid to save the change.
Wouldnt gathering be better since you are building hybrid? Its a shame the item active cdr is in the domination and inspiration trees. I guess lowering that cd isnt worth losing the resolve trees free stats.
I’ve only used this item on Soraka since it was released but I gotta try it on Karma now. My only concern is I’ll waste the CD poking with RQ cause I will probably forget about it lol
I don't get the point of this build. Sure, cdr is great, but all you care about with tank Karma is health and armor/mr thanks to your mantra W. The other tank items are just better for her right now. Iceborn gives a slow on your auto, Heartsteel makes your mantra W really strong, and Sho makes you super tanky. It's better to build her tank for assassins/bruisers, but going full AP/AP brusier against mage and poke lanes.
Day 6 of asking for the new ludens art in pekin thumbnails, just because it does look oh so pretty. And because pekin uses all the other new icons ( to my knowledge)
BTW Pekin radiant virtue ornn upgrade is bugged and will not proc with karma ult. Riot wouldnt listen to my bug report but its easy to test. fucked me over. careful
I jumped to 22mins and watched onwards and at 31mins you're just a non factor in this particular match. Any other mid would have been better. Idk, seems incredibly situational to have a karma supp mid. Edit at end: Yeah, purely a supp build past 20mins. Idk why you called it tanky with those basic supp items.
Sorry if non-stomps are not your thing. Tomorrows video is BIG 1v9 MALPHITE MID video so just wait for that haha
Nah games like these are more fun to watch
great vid love a fair fight more, but i still await the r o c k
You should try a build where you lower item cd by as much as possible and do this same item route with karma
stomps are fun but nothing beats getting 40 minutes of content!
B I G
Felt like Pekin and Fiora were the only ones trying to win that game. Aphelios and Wukong kept inting, Heimerdinger was trolling.
It feels so weird to see Pekin lose a cannon and not immediately call himself washed and bad
Good for him though. Maybe he's feeling more positive about himself!

@@JayTheYggdrasil Did you just say "Extra notes to add onto this" and then repeat every point that OP had made?
@@SuperPidove No? I only repeated the CD starting on R cast not empowered ability cast, I missed that one when I read through it the first time.
thx for the tips!
I feel like Heimer and Wukong had a debate stating their case, with rebuttals, and a conclusion, just through pings.

Missed opportunity for master baiter joke :(
the unmade joke is the deadliest
i think he avoided it on purpose 😭😭

Nice video, I like how u checked the mantra W stat stuff because you weren't sure. Thanks it was informative
"i dont know about chasing this guy” *flashes after him*
i tried this build with this rune page : First Strike, Stopwatch, Biscuit, Cosmic insight (for item haste), cheap shot and ingenious hunter. With this rune page you have radiant virtue every 30 sec, it's really fun to play !
20:14 crazy play, that was awesome!
been playing something similar, top w/ grasp and bounty hunter in secondary so the radiant virtue cooldown is reduced to 40s instead of 60
Did Pekin play Skarner mid? No.
Lose Streak: 436
that whole fight at 10:10 was nuts
For self cast, I'm pretty sure you can also just hold left "alt" while you cast. Either that or I've set that up manually, but I think that's default.
11:01 no you just needed to press W and use the damage to kill him. Its not as much as Q obviously but it has damage in it lol
Made me cringe watching that play lol he even had enough time to mantra W and just didn’t do anything
Hi I'm a Karma main. I use the Ingenious Hunter rune as secondary on her so I can spam Radiant virtue every 30 seconds aprox. Just a tip
I mainly play Viktor, and at 16:50 you said that him building Ludin’s didn’t really make sense this game. Can you explain why that is?
10:55 u coulve killed viktor with w, but I'm assuming u wanted to wait till r to do emp w ?
Yeah thats exactly what I commented. He only needed like 1 auto and the W would have definitly done it. I'm assuming he was trying to wait for E shield and then RW. But he should have just pressed W.

7:47 great play lol 😆
You heal off of regular jungle monsters too with mantra w, scuttle, blue, wolves, red, krugs.. if i need healing as supp i just go bother a camp
21:00 You can actually heal from jungle monsters and I think Heimer turrets

i think the worry is enemy team trying for baron since he doesnt have teleport so cant split bot for too long
@@shubhod9569 Aah I didn't consider that angle. Rift herald was up and they took it. Perhaps there was a world where splitting too long gives too much control of that side when Baron eventually spawns. Also stacking for a herald would definitely out push Karma in that instance.

The whole point of Tank Karma is the empowered W heals based on missing HP, so the tankier you are, the better bait you become
I thought that is what I said in the start of the game, maybe it was a different one?
@@PekinWoof Thats exactly what you said, dw
@@PekinWoof I rewatched it and yeah you said it in the first 30 seconds lmao
Actually you can mantra w any jg camp for hp
Get the ingenious hunter rune to reduce the item cooldown! It makes the item spammable.
Wouldnt gathering be better since you are building hybrid? Its a shame the item active cdr is in the domination and inspiration trees. I guess lowering that cd isnt worth losing the resolve trees free stats.
That w heal was pretty nutty
They should make the effect only happen while in combat..
That wukong not helping kill the kindred.. I can feel the pain
Item.. haste.. brother..
I’ve only used this item on Soraka since it was released but I gotta try it on Karma now. My only concern is I’ll waste the CD poking with RQ cause I will probably forget about it lol
did anyone else hear that weird echo at 15:56 when he said "cheap"
Hope you enjoyed this Karma-ntary. ;)

everytime i see karma in aram i play like this its fun asf
no need to bind selfcast, just press alt+ability
no rune page?
I hate that I talked about this on reddit and was told how it would work due to not being able to R whenever you want.
Day 6 of asking for the new ludens art in pekin thumbnails, just because it does look oh so pretty. And because pekin uses all the other new icons ( to my knowledge)
i love pekin content
10:43 E W at the end of that fight kills im pretty sure
Drag and baron should have a voting option for "stall."
Ardent wouldve been better than redemption to support teammates. Randuins wouldve been nice this game to round out the build against triple crit.
Massive baiter? You're not fat. You're just a master at bating.
God help my dyslexia reading that title
Not sure why that mythic choice, the cooldown makes it kinda useless on karma.
I'm surprised you're not running at least one item haste rune
i did not expect this game to be as hard as it was lol
Single deaths delay ending games by a LOT, so Wukong dying side / Aphelios really made it long
@@PekinWoof aphelios was definitely going through something 💀 but nonetheless, it was super entertaining to watch
She's a Master Baiter, cmon Pekin, missing such a chance :D
pekin is still very handsome
BTW Pekin radiant virtue ornn upgrade is bugged and will not proc with karma ult. Riot wouldnt listen to my bug report but its easy to test. fucked me over. careful
i love pekin
yayyy new video
All hail the algorithm!
Healing works on large monsters actually
"Thicc Karma is a Master Baiter 🥴"
NICE MASTER BATING
One could say this build makes karma a master baiter
Hope you guys enjoyed the karmentary
YOu should play this again. Please.
Such a risky title! Take my "like"
Talk karma is fun. But the damage drops right off so you become so team reliant
Should’ve named it master baiter
haha nice lets go a Karma video
You could say she’s a master baiter
I love karma mid but those items make her useless, i dont know, it seems like u cant do anything if u dont have ap at least make her tank
Just commit to the meme on title card. She is a master baiter. There, I fixed it.
Hey everybody welcome to the next commentary playing
A Massive-Baiter :)
kindred
wp Pekin!
you should play yone if ur playing mid champs that u hate for videos

Never been this early damn
its pronounced mahntra not man tra
Shes a what???
Down voting for not saying mater baiter
Tank shaco jungle request 001
Bad video. He just built enchanter with a tank mythic that he wasted 90 percent of times on wave clear while full health.
I jumped to 22mins and watched onwards and at 31mins you're just a non factor in this particular match. Any other mid would have been better. Idk, seems incredibly situational to have a karma supp mid.
Edit at end: Yeah, purely a supp build past 20mins. Idk why you called it tanky with those basic supp items.
Being a non-factor is exactly peak Karma gameplay
We could even say she's a Master Baiter
