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.

Farming
1.3Karma
1.1Thresh
Karma and Thresh farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
401Karma
321Thresh
Karma heavily out-damages Thresh by 81 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Thresh should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Karma's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
8,645Karma
8,430Thresh
Karma and Thresh generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 215 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
1.0Karma
1.4Thresh
Thresh provides 0.3 seconds more crowd control per minute than Karma, offering better gank setup potential and slightly more team fight utility. This CC advantage helps Thresh coordinate with their jungler and control the pace of skirmishes.
Sustain
631Karma
1,009Thresh
Thresh vastly out-sustains Karma, healing and mitigating 379 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Thresh can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Karma is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Karma, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.

The early game (first 15 minutes) is a toss-up between Karma and Thresh, with Thresh holding a razor-thin 50.5% win rate edge (+1.1%). Individual skill and jungle proximity will matter more than champion advantage in the early laning phase.

Karma is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 54.6% win rate — 9.3 points above Thresh. Extended games heavily favor Karma, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Thresh has the edge early, but Karma gradually takes over. However, the margins are slim enough that either champion can win at any stage with the right plays. Focus on taking advantages when you have them rather than waiting for a specific game phase.
