Y'all may disagree with this but all Karnak needs to be crazy good is an update (a little number tweak and a little more utility). Before going deep let me post his current ability and I'll point out things that could be added to make him OP
First his attack rating can be boosted a bit, and his passives are alright not going to lie, when he is focused he crits quite a bit and it is a big boost, another thing I would add is anytime he is focused he gains a true strike preventing evade and auto block ( meaning if you get focused either through Sp 1 or after waiting 9 secs you can keep it for the whole fight if you don't get hit, juicy right?).
The physical resistance is alright and I'd increase the class reduction to 1% for for every 1 seconds another thing I'd do is increase his Critical damage rating by 50 for every hit on combo meter( I'm sure kabam can balance that number if its too high). With this he becomes a champion that rewards being able to hold your combo( boosts his damage, and focus), I'd also give him indefinite combo shield buffs on heavies like G99 but capped at 4 ( buffs so he can deal with nodes that need buffs).
Now onto specials, specials add combo to the combo meter based on which one used. Sp1 adds 50, Sp2 adds 100 and Sp3 adds 150 (this can be balanced by kabam)
Special 1 remains almost the same but I'll make him get 3 indefinite cleanse anytime he use it. Max Stack: 3( don't forget he gets true strike when focused now so the 2nd like should be ignored)
Special 2 Inflicts 5 bleeds each dealing 4000 damage(assume this is a 5* rank 5)over 30 seconds (5 bleeds for nodes like Diss track and I made it long on purpose and I'm sure you know why already)
If this attack is used immediately after charging heavy consume all combo in the combo meter and increase attack rating by 50 for each hit in the combo meter (can be balanced by kabam)
Special 3 reduce ability accuracy by 80% for 60 seconds
Signature ability remains the same, and I'd also add enemies get their Defensive ability accuracy reduced by 30% when knocked down for 10-25 seconds

While true sense is active, karnak has a 20% chance to place indefinite vulnerability debuffs that cap out at 10 stacks.
Add poison resistance to base and increase it to 80%.
On sp1, karnak cleara his mind and becomes focused on the opponent, granting a precision buff thqt guarantees all hits to be critical, but loses focus when receiving an attack on block or to the face.
On sp2, double all vulnerability debuffs, lasting 15 seconds. When the 15 seconds are up, all vulnerability debuffs expire and are replaced with an indefinite passive vulnerability that cap out at 5 stacks.
On sp3, stun the opponent, and gain an insightful buff for 40 seconds alongside faze. Insightful grabts karnak a keen eye for incoming debuffs and negates the effects. (For instance, encroaching stun, brute force, etc).
Whenever karnak activates a special attack, the opponent gains an infuriate debuff that lasts 5 seconds, and pauses while the opponent activates a special attack. Karnak also gains an evade charge that counter attacks the opponent when physically hit and can chain into a combo, counting as an intercept.
When the opponent gets intercepted, karnak can refresh any ongoing infuriate on the opponent and gain a passive fury, granting karnak 500 attack rating, that gradually fall off 3 seconds at a time when you aren’t attacking the opponent. These furies are paused during karnaks special attacks but immediately fall off afterward.
Immunities: unaffected by ability accuracy reduction, reverse controls, taunt as he is focused on the opponent,
Whenever a debuff would expire on karnak, regenerate 500 health (to make up for willpower), and reduce the duration of anymore incoming debuffs specific to the one that expired by 10%..
Would like to see some of these in his kit in some form. Think he’d be pretty fun for many.
Your buff is fine but he'd be a tier 2 skill champ at best and there's almost nothing that makes him unique or would make you want to use him over other tier 1 and 2 skill champs
The most important thin is kabam should give him and nebs good buffs, I'd really appreciate it
