+1 good start

i still think there is a need for flash on karma. dont really agree with your explanation. your skill sequence is also very interesting. as a support, i believe the extra movement speed really could help in lane. your item build could use a situational items section. other than that, this guide is very nicely coded and indepth. i recommend you to turn on require comment to vote though.

keep up the good work!

Gah, you are very correct about the summoner spells. I also made the assumption the situational items were somewhat obvious, right after explaining her item goals were nonstandard. Editing in progress, thanks for the points.

nicely coded and indepth, but it may scare off readers because your text is so close together xD, add some line dividers so people don't see it and go ahhh im not reading all of that :P

Karma is so underplayed which is very sad. I feel like i'm the only one that mains her! Anyways, good build and good guide mate ^^.

Suggestions: Try adding some more pictures and organize it more than just a big wall of text! Also, I think flash is a much better choice than ghost, but that's personal opinion really. Lastly, have you considered Rod of Ages? She can have mana problems spamming her spells early game, and getting a catalyst fixes that nicely along with all the nice features RoA gets you.


My builds:

Lee Sin

AP Ashe?

Rod of Ages is a popular item for Karma, though not a personal favorite of mine, it is definitely viable. Getting more AP, ASAP is top priority, so I would consider RoA a situational item (it does synergize with other items she can buy too) and I do intend to include it in that section when I have the time to write it all proper. She does have early mana problems when she lanes, but she'll be regularly exhausting her mana during the lategame too, and teleport helps out in both cases. Stacking her raw AP as fast as possible means reaching the REQ'ing-waves point faster, which greatly increases her freedom in the match; I feel you want to reach this point as fast as possible, but when RoA will synergize with other situational items you'll be building later on, it is a very strong alternative. I'll be including more of this explanation in the guide, for sure, as it is rather important.

I agree that Karma is underplayed, she's a very viable champion, and my favorite AP champion by far because of how much strategy is involved.

Maybe I'll give her one more chance.. Tbh I've never understood Karma, I always liked her but playing a support who is highly item dependable did not really seem legit to me. At least not for ranked games.

+1, I'll test this build later but maybe with a few tweaks.


Everybody, one day will die, and be forgotten. Act and behave in a way that will make life interesting and fun, f*ck a mundane predictable life working monday to friday with something you derive no pleasure from; just living life out till you grow old and wither away. Find a passion, form relationships, dont be afraid to get out there and f*ck what everyone else thinks.

Good guide, good build. Tried it and lost, but to be fair it was my first game as Karma since weeks after she came out, and me/singed carried lol. (800 hp shield on Singed when he was the last one alive and had low hp got us a 2v4 4 kill ace at one point from the shield's damage and singed's awesomeness.

I love Karma, and I hope she gets some quality of life changes soon that will bring her up a bit for competitive play.




I make sigs, PM me if you want one :D (Thanks for the Nidalee sig, The_Nameless_Bard!)
