Overall, Karma sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Sylas. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

When Karma tries to synergize with Sylas, she sees a noticable drop in her complete damage output. This could demonstrate that Sylas does not provide cover for her to dish out more damage or that his support also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Karma is played with Sylas on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Sylas.
Additionally, when Karma plays with Sylas on the same team, she often receives less damage than when she fights alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Sylas does a decent job of protecting Karma during teamfights.

Is Karma better when played alongside Sylas?
There is no ideal companion for Karma that will no matter what be her best synergy. However, overall, Sylas is a not very good teammate for Karma. By playing on the same team as Karma, he lowers their win rate by -1.8% to 46.5%. This clearly indicates that there is a bad bond between Karma and Sylas that results in them performing worse together than without each other.
Sylas has a lower difficulty than Karma. That means Karma players don't need to be very careful when finding Sylas allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a lower level of skill to be able to fight well with you.
Fighting on the same side, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. When paired, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
Although, by bringing Karma and Sylas together, you will not be providing your other allies a great deal of anti-tank damage dealing potential. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that fills this gap in their abilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Sylas teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
