Karma Support matchup tips

  1. Karma vs Nautilus Support - Nautilus can turn an early Dredge Line(Q) hit into a root with Staggering Blow(P), which is especially threatening before Karma has Inspire(E) available to shield and speed herself away. Karma can blunt an engage with Focused Resolve(W) or her shield, but one early catch can snowball the lane.
  2. Karma vs Yuumi Support - Use early Inner Flame(Q) pressure and punish Yuumi when she detaches; her laning is vulnerable before the attached pair can safely recover from trades.
  3. Karma vs Soraka Support - Do not measure the lane by one Inner Flame(Q) hit into Soraka's partner; Karma mains point out that Soraka can sustain repeated poke. Aim trades at Soraka too, and look to extend pressure when she misses Starcall(Q).
  4. Karma vs Zyra Support - Keep a sideways angle and use Inspire(E)'s speed to dodge Grasping Roots(E). Karma mains report that Zyra's slower skillshots are manageable when Karma keeps moving, and a missed root gives you a safer window to poke back.
  5. Karma vs Xerath Support - Keep moving sideways against Xerath's aimed spells and use Inspire(E) to blunt a hit or dodge the center of Eye of Destruction(W); Karma mains call a good Xerath a painful lane, so avoid standing still to trade.
  6. Karma Support vs Sivir ADC - Do not spend Mantra(R)-Inner Flame(Q) into Sivir's ready Spell Shield(E). Bait the shield with a lower-cost spell or wait for it to expire, then use the empowered projectile while Sivir cannot negate it.
  7. Karma vs Brand Support - Karma can use Inspire(E)'s movement speed and shield to avoid Brand's delayed Pillar of Flame(W) and still contest the wave. When Brand misses that setup, he has fewer safe ways to start the Conflagration(E)-Sear(Q) stun sequence, giving Karma room to push and poke.
  8. Karma Support vs Draven ADC - Use Inner Flame(Q) pressure when Draven moves to collect a Spinning Axe(Q), but avoid following him into an extended trade after the catch refreshes Blood Rush(W). Players facing the Karma-Draven lane recommend making axe catches uncomfortable without giving Draven a clean run-down.
  9. Karma Support vs Kalista ADC - Kalista can change direction with every attack while keeping up damage, which makes Karma's projectile poke harder to land. If Karma or her partner gets chipped, Kalista can use the resulting health lead to run them down, a pattern that is especially punishing when the Kalista player controls her hops well.
  10. Karma vs Janna Support - Karma mains describe Janna as an enchanter Karma can pressure in lane, so use early Inner Flame(Q) and autos to claim space instead of waiting passively for later fights.

How these matchup statistics are calculated

Counter and synergy statistics use Ranked Solo/Duo games, exclude matches shorter than 600 seconds, and group results by patch window, region, rank scope, and champion role.

Pairwise pages use a rolling three-patch window and compare observed win rate with a log-odds expected win rate based on each champion's role-adjusted baseline; listed pairs require at least 1,000 games.
