Galio isn't a good burster

Galio has some of the most ridiculous burst damage in the game with his Q alone, and I've dropped carries to a THIRD of their health lategame with his ult. He is the
epitome of burst damage, but only has the one combo going for him. He has tons of burst damage but can usually only take down one champ in teamfights and score assists with his ult or his E on the other 4.
(Spoiler, I stick another point in W at level 5. Sue me.)
Karma on the other hand is a great AP mid, a decent counterpick to some hard-to-deal mid champs (I find her the only champ that can counter Talon reasonably well, but I might just have Talonphobia) but not an AP carry. Because she's intended as support by Riot her abilities don't scale well enough for her to actually carry any game. Yes, she can play against most mid champs (barring real snazzy fuckers like, say, a good Anivia) and will probably win the lane for your team but what you have at the end is a fed support champ.
