Advantage - He has strong defensive and defensive skills - She can limit the opponent's movements by slowing down and immobilizing - She can strengthens and protects his allies - She can very strongly opposing and harassing his opponents in early game - By the shield Karma is a little more mobility so she can roaming between bottom lane and mid lane - Good wave clear

Disadvantage - Susceptible on damage - Sometimes she can steal some minions his "Shooter" from "Q"

If you ask me why I choose Karma on support, so my answer is pretty simple. Karma is good against another supports which are have range skills and they are based on magic power.

Karma is a good champion on support position because she have a good offensive skill which in early phase are dealing strong damage. Also Karma have strong defense skill "Inspire" - Shield and "Focused Resolve" which can immobilize the enemy.

Gathering Fire - Reduces Mantra's cooldown each time Karma damages an enemy champion with one of her abilities (Half-effect for Karma's basic attacks)

Inner Flame - That skill are deals strong damage and can slowing down your opponents. Mantra Bonus: In addition to the explosion, Mantra increases the destructive power of her Inner Flame, creating a cataclysm which deals damage after a short delay.

Focused Resolve - Karma creates a tether between herself and a targeted enemy, dealing damage and revealing them. If the tether is not broken, the enemy will be rooted and damaged again. Mantra Bonus: Karma strengthens the link, healing herself and extending the root duration.

Inspire - Karma summons a protective shield that absorbs incoming damage and increases the Movement Speed of the protected ally. Mantra Bonus: Energy radiates out from her target, strengthening the initial shield and applying Inspire to nearby allied champions.

Mantra - Karma empowers her next ability to do an additional effect. Mantra is available at level 1 and does not require a skill point. Karma empowers her next ability within 8 seconds for an additional effect. Soulflare: Deals bonus damage and leaves behind a circle of flame, slowing enemies and dealing additional damage. Renewal: Karma heals for a portion of her missing health. If the link is unbroken the root is longer and Karma is healed again. Defiance: The shield is stronger and allied champions around the target also gain a shield and movement speed.

Karma is a good champion to counter Morgana on support position, why? Morgana have his unique shield "Black Shield". Places a protective barrier around an allied champion, absorbing magical damage and disabled until penetrated or the shield dissipates. This mean that only magical damage can destroy "Black Shield" which is a very durable and in late game is hard to destroy it.

So why we are taking Karma against Morgana? Because she have strong offensive skill “Inner Flame", on the basic power Karma can with no problem destroy "Black shield" and can slow down enemy in the same time but only then, when we strengthen “Inner Flame" by "Mantra". When we will hit our opponent we can easily catch him with “Focused Resolve”.

Karma is good against Morgana and we know why but what with another champions, she have a chance for win? Below I mentioned champions with which Karma will dealing well. Generally speaking you should not have a problem againts these champions and you will feel comfortably on your position

Tips: Playing against champions mentioned below you should buy "Mercury's Treads". They give you 25 magic resist and The duration of stuns, slows, taunts, fears, silences, blinds and immobilizes are reduced by 30%.

Playing against Bard is not hard, he is easy to play against him and he is strong based on his skill "Cosmic Binding". When you will playing against him u must keep away because he can deal you a loot of damage from auto atacks and also for dodge his skill "Cosmic Binding" with which can slow you down and/or stop you when behind you is another chempion, minion or structure like wall, towers.

Tips: Bard is roaming a lot on the map so u must keep a vision on the river and you must try to put your wards near mid lane and in the enemy jungle on blue buff.

Playing against Brand is a easy as Karma on support because you have a shield with which you can stay longer on lane and with additional movement speed from shield you or your allies can easli dodge his skills. Also you must be a patient and careful because he deal a lot of damage in litle part of time.

Keep your distance between you and him and try to hide behind your minions because when Brand will hit you from his skill "Sear" you could by died.

If the target is ablaze, Sear will stun the target for 1.5 seconds.

Janna is not a problem for our Karma but she can make your life a little problematic because of his skill like "Howling Gale" and "Zephyr". She can deal us a some damage which are in long part time are annoying like this chempion is. Just keep a distance and try to catch him when she will be trying to deal you or your allies a damage.

Lulu is very annoying champion. She can slow you down, transform into a small rat and she is able to dealing a damage from auto attacks. Lulu is a very aggressive champion so you must keep a distance and you must harassing it. Karma have good chance against Lulu.

Lux is annoying. Her basic skill is "Light Binding". When you are dodge this skill you are able to play more aggressive against her and trying to harassing and immobilization.

Nami, like lux. She is based on her bubble "Aqua Prison". Nami is a little annoying because she can harassing you and your allies from skill "Ebb and Flow" and also she can heal herself and allies from this skill.

Sona is very immobile champion and one of the easiest to catch. Play aggressive against her and try to catch her. Also Sona can hurt you and your allies in mid/lata game but Karma are strongest by all the time in game.

You must be careful when Sona will have six level because of her ultimate "Crescendo". Sona plays her ultimate chord, stunning enemy champions and forcing them to dance and dealing magic damage to them.

Soraka. Easy opponent. She can easily harassing you but she is a very weak(paper). When you will playing against her you should take "Ignite". Play aggressive but smart.

Vel'koz, rare champion. He is very strong and oppressing. He can harassing you very easily. Basically he have very strong skills in early game so you must be careful and keeping "Wards" in the bushes on lane. He is based on his skill "Void Rift" and "Tectonic Disruption", so when he use it and will have it on couting down you are able to play a little more agresive and trying harassing him for free.

Zilean, easy opponent but he is annoying. Good player have a big impact on game. Playing against him you must keep a distance and you must watch out on his skill "Time Bomb". Keep your vision in the bushes on lane.

Zyra, very annoying champion because of her flowers. You must be careful and patient. Keep a distance and try to harassing her.

Braum is very durable. He is a great support and I often choosing him against Karma because of him durable. Braum is not a problematic champion against Karma but you must be careful because Braum can jump to ally minions and can easily engage in you. Try to keep a distance between you and opponent minions.

Rakan. Easy opponent on phase lane before he get six levels. You feel free to harassing him and oppressing. Try to push him under his tower and keep wards on river. After six level keep safety distance because he can very easily engange in to you.

With these runes like " Waterwalking" and " Relentless Hunter" you can easier and faster roaming between bottom lane and mid lane, also you can help your jungle.

Ninja Tabi - I buy "Ninja Tabi" when enemy have heavy team-coop about physical damage.

Mercury's Treads - I buy "Mercury's Treads" when enemy have a lot of ground control and they are based on magic power.

Items at the start:

First back: 900-950 Golds

When you will have around 900-950 gold's you could go back to base. My build is based on " Athene's Unholy Grail" so you should buy " Amplifying Tome", " Control Ward" and upgrade your " Spellthief's Edge" on " Frostfang" Or if you needed a additional movement speed you can buy " Boots" instead of " Amplifying Tome".

Core item

Athene's Unholy Grail - "Athene's Unholy Grail" - it is a my core item in my Build and usually I buy it as first item. "Unholy Grail" is a great item for supports allies especially in fights 2vs2 on bottom lane because this item have a UNIQUE Passive: Gain 35% of the premitigation damage dealt to champions as Blood Charges, up to 100-250 max. Healing or shielding another ally consumes charges to heal them, up to the original effect amount. Also this item is giving you a good statistic at the start, like: 30 Ability Power, 10% Cooldown Reduction, 30 Magic Resistance, 100% Base Mana Regeneration.

Upgrades

So right now when we should have our core item " Athene's Unholy Grail" we should upgrade our previous items. So we need to upgrade " Frostfang" on " Remnant of the Watchers" and " Boots" on one of those Boots which I mentioned before so " Sorcerer's Shoes", " Ninja Tabi" or " Mercury's Treads".

Second items:

Usually I buy " Rylai's Crystal Scepter" as second item because with this I'm more durable and I get additional 90 Ability power. Also this item have good UNIQUE Passive: Your spell damage and summoned minions will slow the target's movement speed by 20% for 1 second. The slowdown work well with " Focused Resolve". " Luden's Tempest" - Usually when I'm dominating on my opponents from bottom lane AND when my team don't have any champion which is based on Ability power.

Luden's Echo - UNIQUE Passive: Gains charges upon moving or casting. At 100 charges, the next spell hit expends all charges to deal 100 (+10% of ability power) bonus magic damage to up to 4 targets on hit. This applies spell effects (e.g., Spell Vamp, Rylai's, etc).

Items you can buy:

My general full build on Karma

These maps presents "Control Wards". I marked places where I usually put "Control Wards". I divided them into categories which are in another colors.

Legend of map:

Orange - You must have vision in these place.

1. Default place for "Control Ward"
2. When you are pushing enemy for under the tower
3. When enemy have very aggressive champion in the jungle like Graves, Kinred, Schaco, Xin Zhao

Ligh Blue - This vision is for control on river.

1. When you are doing dragon. *Good "Control Ward"* can disable all enemy "Wards".
2. When enemy mid laner have prority and can easly come on bottom lane or have global ultimates for example Galio, Taliayh, Twistad Fate, Aurelion Soul.
3. Propably your mid laner will put ward in this place.

White - When eneamy have very agresiv champion in the jungle with global ultimate or he is invisible, for example Shaco, Evelyn, Nocturn. I always put ward in place 1 and 2 does not matter which chempion is in the jungle.

Black - This place is for "Control Wards" when you are in defensive and you lost tower but number 1 is good when enemy have invisible enemy or can jump by walls, for example talon, kayn, shaco, evelyn.

Check this.
