How to Play with Karma as Thresh in LoL
The Thresh Karma synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Karma, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Thresh sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Karma. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Karma helps Thresh perform not as well in competitive League matches. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Thresh tries to synergize with Karma, he sees a marginal improvement in his complete damage output. This could indicate that Karma helps provide protection for him to deal more damage or that her allyship also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Thresh is played with Karma on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Karma.
Moreover, when Thresh plays with Karma on the same team, he often receives a little more damage than when he fights alone. Receiving more damage may mean that Karma does a poor job of protecting Thresh during teamfights.

Is Thresh better when played alongside Karma?
There is no universally accepted best ally for Thresh that will always be his top teammate. Yet, Karma is a relatively poor ally for Thresh. By being on the same team as Thresh, she lowers their win rate by -2.5% to 46.0%. This clearly indicates that there is a bad bond between Thresh and Karma that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.
Karma has a lower difficulty than Thresh. That means you don't need to be cautious when finding Karma allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to cooperate well with you.
Playing cooperatively, Thresh players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to buff allies and debuff enemies. Combined, these champions will help their other teammates secure a victory.
In contrast, by grouping Thresh and Karma together, you probably will not be providing your team very much anti-tank damage dealing potential. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in this pairing's kit.
Regardless of the ability of your Karma teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
