While statistically Karma is slightly stronger than Alistar 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 Karma deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Alistar deals primarily magic damage (75.86%), additional magic resistance may be required.
Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Alistar, ranking 5th (versus 30th for Karma) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.5 versus 2.8) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Karma player to maintain constant pressure on Alistar, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
