I really liked your guide.

You might want to add to Karma's sould shield that the spell also saves a teammates if he's ignited or poisoned.

Using your guide, I had a game with 1/10/38 after a seven months break from LoL on a PvP Match (wasn't really looking for kills, supporting and stuff). Having Teemo on my team, it wasn't really necessary to buy wards (it was a minefield), but as I mentioned before, with DoT Champs as Teemo and Twitch on the enemy team, soul shield really came in handy more than only once to save teammate that was on death's brink and poisoned.

Solid guide!

Organized, neat, visually appealing, and most of all, informative.

I haven't touched Karma in a long time, I might try her again in my later matches as AP mid.

Interesting guide to say the least. I've never properly fought a well played Karma mid, although I've seen streams of her.

You outrange syndra and kassadin. You can abuse syndra with shield harass. With kassadin, as early as possible, force trades. run in his face, and right when he shoots his null sphere, mantra shield and start hitting him with auto attacks. you will take little to no damage, and he will take a ton. Also, shove waves into kass's tower and abuse him while he tries to last hit.

Quick question: What do you do when your agaisnt an enemy kassadin or syndra?

That video of the penta - Best thing about Asian commentators - proper excitement and thrill. Good choice of videos!

Thank you very much for this guide!
I have been waiting for a karma mid game for quite a while :D

In the matchup list list i would like to read your opinion on laning versus LeBlanc and Anivia. You also forgot to mention kassadin, although i think that kassadin may be a tough opponent due to his ultimate.

However i personally enjoyed reading your guide a lot!

PS: Your guide inspired me to finally create an account on mobafire :D

First question: How can I vote X) ?!?

Good guide for my favourite ap champ :) .
But i have some objections:

I prefer mag pen. Runes more then Mana Reg. or mage res. Runes, because when you gain your Grail, you want have soo much mag probs, and you needn´t mage resistance when you outfarm your opponent like a boss xD

I don´t think that karma has low damage in early game, no, sometimes I kill my opponent before they reach lvl 4.

I switched from CDR boots to magic pen. boots, because at the early game you wont have enough mana to cast your spells such fast as it worth it to buy CDR. And after that item it´s very easy to kill your opponent. (In the most cases)

I like to use exhaust instead of ignite, because it slows your enemys and meanwhile you get your spells to kill him, and it can be an effective way to protect you against jungler.

With Karma i made already 3 Pentakills in more than 250 games (unranked, i dont like play ranked), and i´ve recorded one of them.

My opinion for a good combo is karma + amumu. When Mumu casts his ult in the middle of the enemys, you deal tons of damage and it become a easy teamfight for your team.

And youre right. I played 400 games, and I saw just 4 other karma player. Sometimes, my enemies or teammates didn´t even know that this champ exist .. lol. And they often think im hacking because i´ve 80 ap just with dorans ring , they dont know my passive xD

I hope you can understand my commentm, im german so you know...^^

For a straight caster, karma does OK against Leblanc. You will probably be put on defense through the entire lane. My recommended build is boots, double doran's ring, negatron cloak, abyssal. If she plays somewhat passive or you forge an early lead, you can play aggressive. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL OF HER LEVEL 6!

Dill, kages is OK on karma, especially if you are going dfg route.

QUESTION FOR THROATSLASHER

would building kages early be good for the gp5 and since it can be built into morellos and DFG?
