How to Play with Karma as Akali in LoL

Overall, Akali sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Karma. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

When Akali tries to synergize with Karma, she gets a marginal improvement in her complete damage dealt. This may demonstrate that Karma supports by providing cover for her to dish out more damage or that her presence also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Akali is played alongside Karma on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Karma. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Karma.

Additionally, when Akali plays with Karma on the same team, she on average receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Receiving not as much damage may mean that Karma does a decent job of covering Akali in teamfights.

Is Akali better when played alongside Karma?

There is no top synergy for Akali that will 100% of the time be her top synergy. However, overall, Karma is a relatively poor ally for Akali. By locking into the same team as Akali, she decreases their win rate by -2.8% to 46.3%. This signals that there is a bad bond between Akali and Karma that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Karma has a lower difficulty than Akali. That means Akali players don't need to be cautious when finding Karma comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Working cooperatively, Akali players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. When paired, these two can blast through enemies with magic damage.

Although, by aligning Akali and Karma together, you probably will not be giving your side a great deal of anti-tank damage dealing potential. Make sure to bring other champions on your team that fills this gap in their kit.

Regardless of your Karma ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
