How Shark Bait plays

Shark Bait is B tier over all champions on patch 26.21: #141 of 226 augments and #55 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 Udyr, Nocturne and Garen. 5 of its 15 best champions are tanks.

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 Protein Shake: if you already have one of the two, the other jumps up your list.
