How to Beat Karma as Janna (Support)

While statistically Janna is slightly stronger than Karma as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Janna deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Karma deals primarily magic damage (85.81%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Karma, ranking 3rd (versus 9th for Janna) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.8 versus 3.3) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Janna Support versus Karma Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Janna player to maintain constant pressure on Karma, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Janna tips:

  • Eye of the Storm can be used on allied turrets.
  • Quickly firing a Howling Gale without the charge up can be used to heavily disable the other team.
  • Timing Janna's ultimate can push enemies away from a wounded ally or even separate enemies.

Playing Against Karma

  • Karma's passive lowers her Mantra cooldown when she hits enemy champions with abilities and basic attacks. Deny her from getting free hits on you.
  • Karma's Soulflare erupts for bonus damage in the area in which it's placed. React quickly and escape the circle to avoid taking heavy damage.
  • Focused Resolve is a strong disengage tool. Create distance to avoid being rooted and seek to engage afterwards.
