How Magic Missile plays

Magic Missile is C tier over all champions on patch 26.21: #169 of 226 augments and #63 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 gives health and resistances, 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 Cassiopeia, Azir and Annie. 13 of its 15 best champions are mages.

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

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