Am I retarded or is this shit just ridiculous. Absolutely insane sustain while outputting a great amount of damage. She also sticks to you like crazy and you can't kill her... especially if you are a tanky top laner, since will out sustain you and out damage you 100% of the time. How do you beat this?

CC shuts her down. Grievous wounds shut her down. She has no % scaling damage. Her CC is soft af. If she healed, she has given up nearly half her damage potential.

Early game she is still squishy. Late game she does no serious damage anymore.

Don't ge me wrong, I have played Karma top tank to a great success myself. She is annoying. She feels abusive. She is cheesy. But she is not broken.

Personally, I would love for Riot to finally make her RW heal to something more befitting of a mage/support, but then again, I have been rambling on about this for nearly 2 years now. A heal scaling with effective HP is just horribly missplaced on her.

she doesnt get tanky for a long ass time, she spends most of the game as a squishy mage.

It's been a thing for a while. People just kinda forgot about it.

Karma, the champion whose damage falls off the face of the earth even while building AP is dealing too much damage while building tanky... she also needs so many items for her to become tanky... she is nothing more than a champion used for cheese strats. You want to beat her top? get item 3211 and have your jungler gank her a few times and watch her do nothing to you the entire game while being pretty useless the entire game
