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

When Karma is an ally to Volibear, she gets a little drop in her total damage output. This change could demonstrate that Volibear does not provide protection for her to dish out more damage or that his participation also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Karma is played alongside Volibear on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Volibear. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Volibear.
Moreover, when Karma plays with Volibear on the same team, she often receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could indicate that Volibear does a decent job of covering Karma in team fights.

Is Karma better when played alongside Volibear?
There is no top synergy for Karma that will no matter what be her ideal teammate. Yet, overall, Volibear is a relatively poor companion for Karma. By locking into the same team as Karma, he decreases their win rate by -1.6% to 46.7%. This signals that there is a harmful bond between Karma and Volibear that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.
Volibear has a lower difficulty than Karma. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Volibear comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a lower level of skill to be able to fight well with you.
Playing on the same side, Karma players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to tank a lot of damage. Combined, these champions will be able to tank for the rest of their team.
Conversely, by aligning Karma and Volibear together, you probably will not be granting your other allies very much attack damage. Plan to bring other champs on your team that nullifies this gap in their abilities.
Regardless of your Volibear ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
