I think Karma is underrated

I've been playing a lot of Karma support lately, and mostly been destroying people. However, she is currently rated as a pretty low tier champion. Although all the "pro" builds just have her build support items as her core, and I feel like they probably play her less aggressively with those builds too. Her poke, though, is so strong, and I think a more burst mage build with maybe just 2 support items would suit her better. Even though I myself am a low ranked player, I still got some pretty good games with a damage heavy build like this one here:

Now I'm sure it won't work out quite as well for other tiers like it does for me, but I am certain Karma can do so much better than what people currently think of her as. Let me know what your thoughts are (and please be a little bit civil about it).

The problem with building AP as a support is that it costs too much gold. Let us compare 2 item support Karma and AP Karma. Support first. item 3504 item 3174 is 4.4k gold while item 3285 item 3151 is 6.3k gold. You could almost get another support item for that much gold. That right there is the problem. Her mid lane is weak because of the meta and because her one back line damaging ability gets blocked in every fight.

That and her shield has a pretty decent ap ratio esp when combined with mantra.
