Karma vs Rakan Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Karma is a mage/support hybrid, Rakan a support, and they meet in the Support lane. 1,701 tracked games on 16.13.1 put Karma at a 44.7% win rate into Rakan. Sitting 5.3 points below the 50% line marks Rakan as a genuine problem pick for Karma.
Karma and Rakan overlap on magic damage, so itemisation converges rather than splits. Level-one bases: Karma 630 HP / 28 armour / 30 MR, Rakan 610 / 30 / 32. Scaling matters as well: Karma ends on 2483 HP, Rakan on 2293. Rakan also hits harder before items — 62 AD to 49.
Karma looks for Inspire (E); Rakan answers with Gleaming Quill (Q). Mantra and The Quickness are the two buttons that end the exchange outright.
This is a ranged mirror in terms of reach — 525 versus 300 — so spacing matters less than ability timing.
