How Don't Change the Channel plays

Don't Change the Channel is A tier over all champions on patch 26.21: #77 of 226 augments and #29 of the 67 silver cards. That is the average over every champion; on the right one it is worth more, on the wrong one much less.

It gives ability power, attack damage and health and resistances, so it pays off on champions that already use those. On a champion that doesn't, it is a wasted pick, whatever its tier.

It does best on Aurelion Sol, Rammus and Nunu & Willump. 6 of its 15 best champions are tanks.

It is stronger early: A tier as a first pick and B tier by the fourth pick. Take it when it shows up early.

The card it pairs with best is Stackosaurus Rex: if you already have one of the two, the other jumps up your list.
