i take karma top because im an asshole

i relentlessly harass, while also last hitting well. melee's hate me. junglers love me because of my w.

why the fuck do you scrubs ignore karma top?

with r+w you can survive most ganks, most burst(unless someone's ganking you and retardedly fed of course. like 5/0 at 10 mins fed)

you have sticking power, massive aoe slows, kiting potential, strong roaming ability, and great synergy with any and everyone who you gank for or ganks for you.

the only top laner i have ever REALLY had legitimate trouble with is a GOOD. thats because she's cancer, and can ignore slows. pretty much.

its not meta, but it fucking works for quite a few matchups. melees will think you're a horrible nightmare. teemos will be helpless to your easily accessible damage at level 3. assassins ganking can't kill you if you pop a well timed r+w(40% missing hp heal). you can also shield teammates, saving their lives, give shields/speed boosts to your team, or ensure enemy team doesn't escape with q+rylai's
