Rakan vs Karma Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Two very different profiles meet in the Support lane: Rakan the support, Karma the mage/support hybrid. The sample behind this page is 1,628 games from patch 16.13.1, and Rakan wins 55.5% of them. Being 5.5 points clear of the 50% line makes Karma a favourable draw for Rakan.
This is a ranged mirror in terms of reach — 300 versus 525 — so spacing matters less than ability timing.
Rakan threatens The Quickness; Karma counters through Focused Resolve. The Quickness and Mantra are the two buttons that end the exchange outright.
Both Rakan and Karma threaten mainly magic damage, so one resistance covers the lane. Rakan carries 610 base health to Karma’s 630, and 30 armour to 28. Scaling matters as well: Rakan ends on 2293 HP, Karma on 2483. Rakan also hits harder before items — 62 AD to 49.
Read 55.5% as a trend: 1,628 games is useful, not final. This lane rebuilds from live ranked data each cycle.
