Welcome to my guide, How to Carry: Karma Mid!

This is my very first guide, so I would appreciate some feedback on what you guys like, didn't like, and what you would like to see in the future!

In this guide, I will cover the basic understand of Karma, such as abilities, and which order I prefer to rank them up in, as well as the runes and masteries I like to take.

Pretty generic mage rune set. Yellows are dependent on your lane match up, such as health for vs AP and armor for vs AD. You could also swap to scaling magic resist glyphs if against AD if desired for more late game magic resistance.

Starting Items:
Doran's Ring Health Potionx2

Core Items:
Morellonomicon OR Athene's Unholy Grail (if you need the extra magic resist), Ionian Boots of Lucidity, & Luden's Tempest

Offensive Items:
Haunting Guise, Rabadon's Deathcap, & Void Staff

Defensive Items:
Zhonya's Hourglass Abyssal Mask Rylai's Crystal Scepter

Example Build:
Morellonomicon Ionian Boots of Lucidity Luden's Tempest Liandry's Torment Zhonya's Hourglass Void Staff

Always max Q out first as it is your main source of poke and damage. It also helps farm incredibly.

I generally max E out second as it allows you to trade more effeciently, blocking more damage and having more potential chase/disengage.

Early Game

Early game, Karma is able to keep pressure off of her lane, allowing her Jungler to focus on other lanes because her Q has such good clear potential. Additionally, if there is an opportunity for a gank, she can set it up by tethering them with her w and keeping them in range by using her e for the speed up allow for the snare effect from her tether.

Once you start getting close to your Morellonomicon, you are very easily able to clear out minion waves as soon as they appear. This allows your to roam and gank other lanes, or even get that much needed back in without missing too many minions.

Mid Game

In my opinion, this is where Karma shines. You can easily burst down the enemy carries while also staying far enough away and keeping your own carries alive. She is able to roam around quickly, keeping pressure around the map while also staying safe.

By this time, you should be getting your team fed by setting up easy kills with your speed ups, tethers, and slows. With Luden's + your ulted Q you can chunk most enemies, even in a group, very quickly because of it's long range and short cooldown.

Late Game

One main reason I really enjoy Karma, is that she is bursty and is able to get kills fast while also keeping her team sustained in a fight wist her ulted e. She can also get the team in or out of a fight with that same combo. Her q, both ulted and not, provides an aoe slow that assists in chases/escapes.

As I mentioned, this is my very first guide so any feedback will be greatly appreciated!
