Are you talking about the regular Q on karma or the Mantra one?

There are two problems with this comparison.

First of all, I believe you are making a mistake that many people consistently make about Karma. Her primary role is that of a mage, not a support. I am betting you think that because she is a support, she shouldn't deal burst damage. You're wrong.

Second, as I said before, Karma deals burst damage. Ryze is also a mage, but his secondary role is as a fighter. This is because he is designed to deal sustained damage.

So yes, when comparing a single use of an ability, Karma is stronger. However, after a full combo, Ryze is far stronger.

Easy mistake to make considering Riot only balances her for that role. If they wanted her mid they'd give back her damage options.

Even then, she is among the highest damaging supports currently available. She is also fully capable of going mid, people just don't do take her there because they prefer the champions with higher carry potential than utility. She would be better in a composition to further provide support to a fed ADC

A lot of people also don't take her there because she only has 1 all or nothing damage ability.
