Do I have to spell out these parts of the argument for you? It's not that difficult to understand.

Garen, first off, is just alistar (bull). Total crap. Shouldnt really be in the game, noobiest champion of them all.

Volibear is primarily a jungler, especially in S3. Having him offtank top isn't really useful since he needs to be very tanky for the team to comp well. Additionally, the AP + Attack Speed offtank doesn't work anymore since they removed Ionian Spark (ganted nowadays people do AD offtank like Darius builds or something).

Moving on... Niddalee is rarely even played support. She is often mid or top.

I imagine Ezreal was "made" to be a mage almost. People saw the value in his ADC potential and played him there. When Riot saw this, I imagine that they were like, "Oh, we made an ADC instead of a mage. This works, too." This deal is different for Karma. Looking at her toolset, calling her a top instead of what Riot refers to as "support-mage" e.g. Lux and Morgana is just completely wrong. It's the same sort of thing as trying ADC Zilean. Not that many people do it, but it works just as well as her desired usage. People like you are the exact reason she's being reworked, actually. She needed a place in the meta. Now she'll have one as a true support-mage.
