This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Karma.

Is Vladimir better when played alongside Karma?

There is no perfect ally for Vladimir that will no matter what be his top teammate. Yet, overall, Karma is a relatively poor companion for Vladimir. By locking into the same team as Vladimir, she drops their win rate by -1.3% to 48.7%. This demonstrates that there is a bad bond between Vladimir and Karma that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

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

Playing on the same side, Vladimir players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. When paired, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

In contrast, by bringing Vladimir and Karma together, you will not be giving your team very much attack damage. Plan to have other champions on your team that fills this gap in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Karma ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
