How to play against Karma

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

1. Stand away from the wave when her empowered Q is available. Make her choose between pushing and landing poke on you.
2. Break her W tether by moving out early instead of trading through it. Denying the root removes her cleanest all-in setup.
3. Force her to spend empowered spells before the objective starts. Karma is much easier to engage when her team speed or shield burst is unavailable.
4. Attack from sides rather than walking through grouped poke. Her mid-game strength comes from controlling one lane of approach.
5. Wait out her team shield before committing major damage. Re-engage when the speed boost ends and her carries lose the reset window.

Where Karma is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

• Karma's power is front-loaded into empowered spell choices, so baiting one leaves clear engage windows.
• Her poke and shields lose value in extended fights where stronger scaling carries outlast her early pressure.
