Working together, you will likely see 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.
In contrast, by pairing Nami and Karma together, you probably will not be granting your other allies enough attack damage. We recommend you have other champions on your team that fills this disparity in this pairing's kit.
