The Karma versus Zilean matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
The magic damage that Karma deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Zilean has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
An important advantage of Karma is superior vision control (ranked 10th among supports) (versus 34th for Zilean), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (0.0 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 Zilean, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
