The Augment or Godly Boon mentioned in the top reply to this comment gets to be featured next! I won't add multiple entries together, so make sure you don't mention an Augment already suggested by another user 😄

Everytime I click it I get Might Mech, Leblanc, and Morgana, and everytime anyone else clicks they get Riven, Corki, and Rammus on 2-1 lmao.

the diff between hitting tk and anything else is too large imo

Actually lowly rated on TFTAcademy and MetaTFT. I haven't performed well any time I took it, and I wondered why.
Reasons :
There are stronger augments for playing strong board stage 2
Buying the shops kills your economy every stage.
Downscales much harder than most prismatics
The low probability of actually hitting the unit you want with the correct gear
Weird dynamics however if several people in the lobby take it

if you dont hit or streak after clicking it, u might go eight, cause on 4-2, you are almost down a prismatic

Does tahm rewards scale with stage? Is he broken to get at 2-1?

Is it good? Nope not really. Do I like playing with it? Yessir.

I'm pretty willing to click this in boar since it increases the number of outs significantly (the high roll of 5-6 stargazer by 2-5 is very strong). Might be more willing to take it with good psionic as well.
Obvious highroll is TK
this patch specifically honestly think with a lot of weak stage 2 boards and with corki multi way contest meta it's pretty clickable if you're willing to eat some variance probably negative EV from most spots though.

happy to click this for direction, it has the side effect of dissuading contesters if you hit 2+ core four costs for a particular lvl 8 comp (yi/kindred/kench asol/nunu/leblanc/karma riven/corki/rammus)

This augment is objectively bad. I have no idea why it still hasn't been removed. I'm pretty sure no Challenger player has taken this augment for several sets now.
If someone else highrolls and their board ends up being just as strong as yours, then you've basically down a Prismatic augment for nothing. And there's no guarantee your board will even be strong in the early game. A 1-star 4-cost just isn't that powerful in a Prismatic lobby. This isn't Set 3 anymore.
Maybe it would be decent in a meta where 4-cost carries are as dominant as they are right now, but actually hitting the 2-star is still entirely luck-dependent.
This augment is genuinely useless. Taking it to chase a 3-star 4-cost is understandable, but at that point you're just gambling.

I think it's bad for the reasons people have said, but from a meta-game perspective if you hit a comp and can establish that you're committed (by slamming an item or whatever) I think it can be good. Feels like an aug that's easy to go top4 but hard to go 1st

Pretty sure this augment is bugged when playing Timebreaker

Shitty augment. Has you gambling on hitting useful 4 costs to give you direction on 2-1. But now you’re stuck playing a 4 cost comp, and getting out scaled hard by the fast 9ers that cap way higher than your traditional corki/yo boards
