Who Wins the Karma vs Thresh Matchup?

Karma vs Thresh Matchup Summary
The Karma vs Thresh matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 188 recent matches analyzed, Karma wins with a 52.1% win rate compared to Thresh's 47.9%, giving Karma a 4.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Thresh controls the early laning stage, but Karma outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Thresh needs to press advantages before Karma reaches their power spikes, while Karma should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Thresh leads by 379 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Karma has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Thresh's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
