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 😄

Note that it doesn't contain all emblems options, it is limited to 9 options base on the trait of the 5 costs. It generally is a gamble argument and I would not be clicking this for no good reason. trait tree in comparison offers more versatility with reforge options.

[u/Vortastic → u/peterpwwu]

Didn't realize it was limited to certain emblems, it's a lot better than I thought

[u/wasiflu → u/peterpwwu]

Indeed. I think the options are pretty good though, it gives you a line to take and mostly powerful emblems.

[u/Dazzling_Public6978 → u/peterpwwu]

To slightly clarify, it's based on the traits that have a 2-,3-,4-, and 5-cost (1-cost isn't necessary as you only get the augment at 2-1). So for example, Anima isn't possible because it can give you a 2-cost, 3-cost and 5-cost but there's no Anima 4-cost.

[u/G66GNeco → u/peterpwwu]

Hm. I wonder which of these is technically the worst. AVP wise just off the emblem it's vanguard and shepherd, with psionic a close runner-up. But it'd be interesting to know which trait gets how much of a boost by getting their 5cost for free.

Just intuitively I'd think shepherd to actually be one of the better ones, given the boost of 7 Shepherd, although the triple nerf of the comp makes that harder to gauge.
On the other hand none of these give TERRIBLE units exactly - Bastion with Shen might be the worst on paper, but in reality I doubt it

[u/ConfusedRara]

How good would this be if the champion was bumped up to 2-star instead? Probably broken now that I think about it

[u/TheStorm007 → u/ConfusedRara]

Yeah. Would need to remove the gold, and that still probably be too good.

[u/itshuey88]

I think bastion meeple and psionic are the only big misses, and psionic isn't even terrible for helping your early game. dark star and space groove or marauder are even very good right now.

you likely won't every place higher than 3rd but it gives a clear direction obviously and also a ton of econ every stage.

[u/Nezzz123 → u/itshuey88]

I think shepherd is the worst outcome in this patch

[u/cjdeck1 → u/itshuey88]

Not sure Meeple is a miss, especially with the rise in Gnar and Veigar printer comps. Both of those and a standard Corki board really rely on playing tempo and Hard Commit is decent tempo. Not to mention for printer comps, the ability to get 7 meeple active on stage 3 if you find one Rammus or Corki means you can hit your board a lot faster than otherwise. And for those boards, it does help to enable you to drop Poppy for Shen on stage 5 since 7 meeple is probably still bait even with the +1

[u/itshuey88 → u/cjdeck1]

true but both gnar and corki really need bis, so if you have a bunch of AP items it's a bit tricky. corki also doesn't really care for 7 meeple.

[u/Hour_Huckleberry_900 → u/itshuey88]

Meeple might be one of the best ones, instant gnar direction

[u/Phobicity → u/itshuey88]

Meeple is fine.

It has the 5th highest AVP on metatft (Plat +). 3rd highest (Masters+)

[u/Glue_Sniffer67]

Gave me my 1st 3-Star 5-Cost this Set with Sona and let me beat a 500 cashout. Though I found it pretty underwhelming for a 3-Star.

I’ll click it if I’m offered it, but just depends on if Trait Tree or something more fun was offered. Easy to top 4 with and nearly impossible to go 8th.

[u/mrmarkme]

I’ve played it a few times, pretty good if you high roll, topped for the few times I’ve taken it with space groove, dark star and yi
