Karma...or Zilean?

So...it's that time of the week/month again. Champion buying time. I'm at a close call deciding between and , and I need some help analyzing which one I should buy and play. I've tried both of them in free rotations, and I love both of them.

-I'm a jungler/Support -I prefer not to go in a solo lane unless absolutely 100% necessary -On one hand, I love how Zilean is team-oriented and great for working with your ADC -On the other hand, I love how Karma doesn't have to rely on the ADC to deal damage

So here are my questions: -who deals the most auto-attack damage? -Who has the longest auto-attack range? -In your opinion, who's is more fun? Why? -Why has the highest skillcap? -Since they both have an ability that 'exists only to support another ability' (Zilean's W, Karma's R)-which one is better?

Any other analyzational work would be great~!

Thanks

Zilean is more support than mage, Karma is more mage than support. Zilean can get your adc ahead fast with his passive and zone with his Q and also stun enemies for peel. He also prevents death with his ult. Karma with a regular support build won't be doing much damage so I don't think her Q is needed, just her cc and shield.

I love karma more than zil. Neither of them need to aa much. Karma is more fun with all the combo potential. I think karma has a higher skillcap while zil has a higher skill floor Since zils w needs quite a few levels to get rolling i like karmas R more.

Zil is a great mid laner. He can work support too but his early lane presence is flimsy. His potential by revive and stuns is great though. If there are slower melee champs on the other team his click long duration super slow can shut em down even without stunning. Thing is Zill doesn't cost a lot of ip, so trying him shouldn't be a problem.

Karma is the lane goddess. She can poke extremely hard and exert lane pressure even with weak adcs. She can shield and speed with one skill. Her shield mantra is extremely powerful in tanky teams. Individual output kinda falls off unless fed lots of AP, or her team is cordinated with a tanky frontline.

For support Karma is more quintessential and reliable. Mostly for exerting lane dominance. Giving weak adcs safe laning or strong ADCs the surefire advantage.

Zill is a secret OP mid laner. A good support too but requires more calculation. I play Zill as a roaming mid laner focused on ganking bot or top with his great CC than mid lane pressure.

Zillean requires much better execution than Karma. Timing and positioning for revive is much more challenging than one'd expect. Double bomb accuracy is also very clutch. He's actually one of the harder champions in the game, but played extremely well he's overpowered.
