This could demonstrate that Alistar provides cover for her to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Karma is played alongside Alistar on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Alistar.
Additionally, when Karma plays with Alistar on the same team, she often takes more damage than when she plays alone. Taking more damage may mean that Alistar does a poor job of covering Karma during teamfights.

Is Karma better when played alongside Alistar?
There is no perfect champion pairing for Karma that will 100% of the time be her ideal teammate. However, Alistar is a decent teammate for Karma. By locking into the same side as Karma, he raises their win rate by 1.5% to 49.8%. This shows that there is a somewhat important strategic relationship between Karma and Alistar that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than without each other.
Alistar has a greater difficulty than Karma. That means Karma players need to be careful when arranging Alistar allies to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.
Playing cooperatively, Karma players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to tank a lot of damage. Together, these two will be able to tank for the rest of their team.
In contrast, by bringing Karma and Alistar together, you may not be giving your team enough anti-tank damage dealing potential. Make sure to bring other champions on your team that nullifies this relative hole in their capabilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Alistar teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
