How Group Hug plays

Group Hug is A tier over all champions on patch 26.21: #61 of 226 augments and #23 of the 69 prismatic cards. That is the average over every champion; on the right one it is worth more, on the wrong one much less.

It gives sustain, so it pays off on champions that already use that. On a champion that doesn't, it is a wasted pick, whatever its tier.

It does best on Ivern, Karma and Annie. 6 of its 15 best champions are supports.

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 Bread and Cheese: if you already have one of the two, the other jumps up your list.
