I first picked Karma today, telling teammates that I'd go top, mid, or support, and they were all surprised about me saying I could take her top. Seeing recent comments about Karma top, it appears I'm not the only one who thinks she's strong up there, but most people still haven't seen it. I feel like she's similar to the more popular Lissandra, but sports a safer style pre-6 (no need to go near melee range to land a root). Push the lane and harass with Q as hard as you can, get kills if they stay in lane lower than 25-40% health (depending on the matchup). If they can keep up with your waveclear, let them push to you for more kill potential. If not, coordinate an invade or gank mid with your jungler.

I got to experience playing her from behind as a support today, and going straight AP worked like a charm. I ended up doing almost as much damage to champions as their fed mid laner, though I usually died after 2-3 spell rotations. We eventually came back from a 12k gold defecit because they got 2 inhibitors but couldn't touch us under our nexus turrets, and the lanes were perpetually pushing to us for safe gold and experience. I also didn't feel like I ever fell off, though their composition was pretty focused on keeping Vayne alive, and she ended up going bruiser because Nidalee and I were poking her so hard.

I definitely think Karma isn't the best at any one thing, but the versatility to go anywhere while your team adapts to enemy picks can be very strong.
