Overall, Galio sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Karma. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

This may indicate that Karma provides cover for him to dish out more damage or that her support also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Galio is played with Karma on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Karma.

Is Galio better when played alongside Karma?

There is no top synergy for Galio that will always be his #1 ally. Yet, Karma is a very bad companion for Galio. By being on the same side as Galio, she decreases their win rate by -3.2% to 47.4%. This demonstrates that there is a very bad synergy between Galio and Karma that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Karma has a lower difficulty than Galio. That means you don't need to be very careful when enlisting Karma allies to play with, as they will need a lower level of skill to work well with you.

When playing alongside, Galio players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to tank a lot of damage. Together, these two will be a great protective duo.

In contrast, by grouping Galio and Karma together, you probably will not be giving your other teammates a great deal of AD. We recommend you have other champs on your team that helps cover this hole in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of the skill of your Karma ally, you need to focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
