    • Classic's version of Caitlyn was live from 2011-2015. Did you know when she first came out, some players were upset that she was too similar to Miss Fortune?
    • Passive - Headshot: Every few attacks, Caitlyn fires a headshot, dealing bonus damage. Headshot charges up faster while attacking from brush.
    • Q - Piltover Peacemaker: Caitlyn fires a piercing shot that deals less damage to each subsequent target.
    • W - Yordle Snap Trap: Caitlyn puts a trap on the ground that roots and damages the first enemy champion to walk over it. She can have up to 2 traps down at a time.

League Classic Karma
Karma joins League Classic.
Source line
NEW Karma
  • Karma came out just two patches after Caitlyn and was only live for just over two years before being reworked in early 2013. Karma is arguably League's first battlemage, rewarding her for getting in the thick of it and making her stronger the more health she's missing.
  • Passive - Inner Flame: Karma gains bonus AP based on her missing health.
  • Q - Heavenly Wave: Karma fires out blades in a fan, err, cone in front of her, damaging all enemies it hits. If empowered with Mantra, it also heals all allies (herself included), scaling with their missing health.
  • W - Spirit Bond: Karma bonds with another target, giving allies (herself included) move speed, slowing enemies, and creating a tether between the two. Any champion caught in the clothesline is hasted or slowed as if they were the initial target. Enemies who get caught in the clothesline are damaged. If empowered with Mantra, all move speed effects are doubled.
  • E - Soul Shield: Karma shields a target. If empowered with Mantra, it also damages all enemies around her target.
  • R - Mantra: Mantra is available at level 1 and can hold up to two charges. She can cast it to empower her next basic ability.
