While statistically Nautilus is slightly stronger than Karma 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 Nautilus deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Karma deals primarily magic damage (86.02%), additional magic resistance may be required.
Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Karma, ranking 9th (versus 16th for Nautilus) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.8 versus 2.4) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Nautilus player to maintain constant pressure on Karma, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
