How Donation plays

Donation is A tier over all champions on patch 26.21: #79 of 226 augments and #25 of the 90 gold cards. That is the average over every champion; on the right one it is worth more, on the wrong one much less.

It does best on Kindred, Twitch and Riven. 6 of its 15 best champions are fighters.

It gets better later: C tier as a first pick and B tier by the fourth pick, when the game runs long enough for it to pay off.

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