This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Thresh.

Is Karma better when played alongside Thresh?
There is no perfect champion pairing for Karma that will always be her top synergy. Yet, overall, Thresh is a not very good companion for Karma. By being on the same side as Karma, he lowers their win rate by -2.3% to 46.0%. This signals that there is a negative synergy between Karma and Thresh that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.
Thresh has a greater difficulty than Karma. That means Karma players need to be cautious when lining up Thresh teammates to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.
Playing on the same side, Karma players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to provide utility and CC for your side. Together, these champions may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.
Although, by bringing Karma and Thresh together, you may not be granting your team enough attack damage. Plan to have other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in their capabilities.
Regardless of your Thresh ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
