In terms of damage items Karma does fine with Pen boots, Liandry and Void staff alone. In fact (I know some people aren't huge fans but) I would argue that Liandry is her best item since the low cooldown Q and her full burn application are hard to deal with.

Karma's problem is that she isn't super dedicated to one thing like peel or stunning. Ex: Leona and Janna can do essentially the same thing over and over again with three abilities in succession which is great if you need lots of that--our girl Karma has maybe one ability for each thing, and in some cases (W's CC) that one is not the greatest.

For teams that know they need a certain thing (like CC) Karma is not the best pick, but if you need a combination of poke and protection that's hard to counter Karma is a great pick.
