The Complete Guide to Karma: League of Legends Champion

The role of Support in League of Legends is arguably the easiest to learn and the hardest to master. As League of Legends players, we have all experienced the struggles that come with an unbalanced team, especially in the absence of a solid support player. In this course you will discover that the role of support is more than just warding for your team and assisting your ADC in lane. Support heroes are the backbone of breakout team fights and often determine the outcome based on their ability to play the role properly, so mastering the skills associated with support heroes will be a core focus of this course.    

If you are considering picking up a new champion to play with, Karma would be a good stable choice in these fast-paced meta changing days. In 2018, League of Legends has rolled out patches that have been a complete game changer; you might find one week you are on a winning spree and the next week you are losing in bunches. Karma’s offensive and defensive abilities make her versatile and adaptable. Her shield and speedup ability make her one of the most resistant champions, whether it's against aggressive or poke champions. Not to mention, her shield and speedup works on all your allies if you combo it with Mantra (R), giving her the ability to help your team engage and disengage. Her Mantra (R) and Q ability make her one of the best at poking out your enemy in lane or team fights.
