Yasuo vs Karma Matchup Summary

The Yasuo vs Karma matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 10 recent matches analyzed, Karma wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Yasuo's 40.0%, giving Karma a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Karma controls the early laning stage, but Yasuo outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Karma needs to press advantages before Yasuo reaches their power spikes, while Yasuo should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Karma leads by 0.6s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Karma has a strong advantage in this matchup. Yasuo players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Karma overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

685Yasuo
563Karma
Yasuo heavily out-damages Karma by 122 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Karma should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Yasuo's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
12,428Yasuo
10,343Karma
Yasuo generates a commanding 2,085 more gold per game than Karma. This substantial economic advantage means Yasuo consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
0.8Yasuo
1.4Karma
Karma provides 0.6 seconds more crowd control per minute than Yasuo, offering better gank setup potential and slightly more team fight utility. This CC advantage helps Karma coordinate with their jungler and control the pace of skirmishes.
Sustain

Karma dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 75.0% win rate — a 50.0 percentage point lead over Yasuo. This lopsided early game means Karma can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Late game (25+ minutes) is equally balanced, with Yasuo at 50.0% win rate — only 0.0 points ahead of Karma. Team fight execution and macro play determine the winner at this stage, not champion matchup advantage.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Karma has the edge early, but Yasuo 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.
