Statistical Matchup Analysis

Current meta showdown: Karma (7.7% pick rate, 6th most popular out of 51 Support champions) versus Nami (11.7%, 3rd place). These two support titans clash constantly, making matchup mastery a decisive factor in your climb. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Summon Aery + Manaflow Band combination (50.7% win rate) plus optimal itemization Moonstone Renewer, Ardent Censer, Dawncore, and Ionian Boots of Lucidity boosts your chances from 47.3% 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 318/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Nami: leads in both matchup win rate (52.7%) and KDA (3.40 vs 2.80, 3rd vs 13th place). Karma players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Nami as Karma (Support)

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, Nami deals primarily magic damage (86.33%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Karma is superior vision control (ranked 9th among supports) (versus 32nd for Nami), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (3.4 versus 2.8) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Karma Support versus Nami Support matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Karma player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Nami 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.

Karma tips:

  • Gathering Fire rewards aggressive play. Look to land abilities and basic attacks on your opponent to lower Mantra's cooldown and stay on the offensive.
  • When using Focused Resolve, slow your opponents with Inner Flame or speed yourself up with Inspire if you're having trouble sticking to a target.
  • Don't be too conservative with Mantra. Gathering Fire is strongest in teamfights, making it easy to recharge Mantra multiple times.

Playing Against Nami

  • Aqua Prison is a very powerful ability with a long cooldown, take advantage of the situation if Nami misses this ability.
  • Tidal Wave has a very long range but travels slowly, be aware of when it is coming your way as you can move out of its path.
  • Try to avoid fighting an opponent affected by Tidecaller's Blessing, it lasts a short duration so waiting it out can help you greatly.
