Is Karma better when played alongside Soraka?

There is no universally accepted best companion for Karma that will no matter what be her top teammate. Yet, Soraka is a very typical companion for Karma. By playing on the same side as Karma, she has no effect on their win rate by 0.0% to 48.3%. This signals that there is a weak strategic relationship between Karma and Soraka that results in them performing at the same level together than alone.

Soraka has a lower difficulty than Karma. That means Karma players don't need to be cautious when lining up Soraka teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to do well with you.

Playing together, Karma players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to provide utility and CC for your side. Combined, these champions may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.

In contrast, by grouping Karma and Soraka together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates a great deal of attack damage. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that offsets this gap in their abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Soraka ally, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
