Karma vs LeBlanc Counter Pick

LeBlanc in the support position is a burst pick betting on one clean kill, and Karma’s shielding is a direct structural answer. The recorded result is 53.5% for Karma across 385 games on patch 16.13.1, an Easy grade.

Both champions attack from 525 range, both deal magic damage, both spend mana. LeBlanc’s edges are movement speed at 340 against 335 and Distortion, which dashes her in and returns her to the starting point within four seconds. That return is what makes her hard to punish, so the aim is making the initial commitment cost more than the escape saves. Sigil of Malice marks a target and detonates when a second ability lands, meaning her damage always arrives in two beats, enough time for Inspire to matter if it was not already spent.

Statistically Karma is the tougher champion at every stage: 630 base health against 598, 28 armor against 22, and 2,483 with 113 armor at level 18 against 2,434 and 93.4. Focused Resolve is the decisive tool, because a tether that holds roots the target and a rooted LeBlanc cannot use the Distortion return to leave. Mirror Image still triggers below 40% health, creating a clone and a second of invisibility, so committing follow-up damage on a guess commonly drops the kill. The counterweight is roaming, since Mimic repeats a basic spell for a second burst elsewhere. Detonation windows sit on the LeBlanc champion page.
