Karma dominates the meta (6th most popular, 8.1% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Shaco (1.9% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of support's current powerhouses. Surprising upset: Despite Karma's higher tier rating, Shaco wins 52.1% of encounters. This suggests Shaco'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 Summon Aery + Manaflow Band combination (60.3% win rate) plus optimal itemization Shurelya's Battlesong, Redemption, Moonstone Renewer, and Ionian Boots of Lucidity boosts your chances from 48.0% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.
Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Karma's superior warding (0.91 wards/min, 20th among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Outclassed across the board: Shaco leads in both matchup win rate (52.1%) and damage (688 vs 432/min). Karma must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination. Strong individual performance: Karma maintains better KDA (2.80, 13th place vs 37th for Shaco), 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, Shaco deals primarily magic damage (70.22%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Karma is superior vision control (ranked 20th among supports) (versus 36th for Shaco), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.3 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 Shaco 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.
