How Shrink Ray plays

Shrink Ray is D tier over all champions on patch 26.21: #219 of 226 augments and #87 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 attack speed, 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 Kalista, Urgot and Senna. 11 of its 15 best champions are marksmen.

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

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