Guide to Countering Rammus as Karma

Tips for Playing as Karma against Rammus

Don't be too conservative with Mantra. Gathering Fire is strongest in teamfights, making it easy to recharge Mantra multiple times.

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.

Rammus often stacks high Armor, leaving him especially vulnerable to caster damage while not in Defensive Ball Curl.
