The Karma Champion Spotlight went live last night, giving us the first look at her somewhat unique skillset. I wasn’t very excited for her release prior to seeing this video, but I’m a little more interested now. The fact that Spirit Bond can be cast on minions helps a lot.

I still think she’ll be lacking a bit of utility, being that she only has 3 real skills, none of which really make up for a missing ult. Also, using Spirit Bond with allies requires that your allies know how to make the best of it. In the spotlight, Phreak used Spirit Bond with Udyr to gank mid. Udyr cleverly moved through the target after he stunned it so that Spirit Bond could deal damage. I’d be surprised if many players will know or think to do the same.
