Overall, Lux sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Karma. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Karma helps Lux perform not as well in competitive League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Lux plays on the same team as Karma, she observes a little increase in her full damage output. This may indicate that Karma provides cover for her to dish out more damage or that her support also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Lux is played together with Karma on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Karma. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Karma.
Moreover, when Lux plays with Karma on the same side, she on average takes a little less damage than when she fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could indicate that Karma does a decent job of protecting Lux during teamfights.

Is Lux better when played alongside Karma?
There is no top ally for Lux that will 100% of the time be her ideal teammate. However, Karma is a relatively poor companion for Lux. By being on the same team as Lux, she drops their win rate by -2.0% to 47.8%. This clearly indicates that there is a harmful bond between Lux and Karma that allows them to perform worse together than alone.
Karma has a lower difficulty than Lux. That means Lux players don't need to be careful when lining up Karma teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to do well with you.
Fighting on the same side, Lux players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. Combined, these champs can blast through enemies with magic damage.
Conversely, by pairing Lux and Karma together, you probably will not be granting your other allies very much attack damage. Make sure to include other champions on your team that fills this gap in their abilities.
Regardless of the ability of your Karma teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
