His Q does low damage? It's a 240 base damage spell with 60% AP scaling, a 200 radius on a 1 second cooldown...It's half of his DPS! Even when reduced to half-damage on multiple targets, due to the almost non-existant cooldown, you'll always deal massive amounts of damage, especially in clustered teamfights...The only way to counter Suicide Karthus is him getting engaged and bursted down right at the start of teamfight, or if the enemy team builds multiple GA/Banshee's...however with the health from ROA and the Seraph's shield, you'll survive the initial burst, while having your E on, throw a Q or 2, then Zhoynias...if your team plays protection around you (shields, peel, lockdown), by the time you died, the enemy team will already be down a man, and you can clean up with your ult. Also the regen from Athenes won't help you spam as much...you will go oom before you can deal enough damage to the enemy team and the difference in AP from an Athenes to a Seraph's, will significantly reduced the damage on your ultimate, plus the CDR doesn't matter all that much since your main offensive spell have such a low CD...
