How Pat On The Back plays

Pat On The Back is C tier over all champions on patch 26.21: #183 of 226 augments and #67 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 ally heals and shields, ability haste and movement speed, 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 Lulu, Singed and Pyke. 5 of its 15 best champions are marksmen.

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