Meta staple Karma (7.7% pick rate, 6th most popular out of 51 Support champions) rarely faces off-meta Maokai (1.6% pick rate). However, even uncommon picks can cheese unprepared players, so basic matchup knowledge provides valuable insurance. Surprising upset: Despite Karma's higher tier rating, Maokai wins 56.0% of encounters. This suggests Maokai's kit specifically counters Karma's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Arcane Comet + Manaflow Band combination (50.3% win rate) plus optimal itemization Moonstone Renewer, Redemption, Dawncore, and Ionian Boots of Lucidity boosts your chances from 44.0% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.
Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Karma's superior warding (0.96 wards/min, 9th among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Damage doesn't equal wins: Karma outputs more damage (437 vs 433/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Strong individual performance: Karma maintains better KDA (2.80, 13th place vs 26th for Maokai), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.
The magic damage that Karma deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Maokai deals primarily magic damage (79.22%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Karma is superior vision control (ranked 9th among supports) (versus 22nd for Maokai), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.5 versus 2.8) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Karma player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Maokai player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
