How Poltergeist plays

Poltergeist is C tier over all champions on patch 26.21: #205 of 226 augments and #63 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 does best on Vayne, Xayah and Zeri. 11 of its 15 best champions are marksmen.

Its tier holds in every pick it can show up in (C tier), so there is no bad moment to take it.

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