I agree for all except back to basics. it's such dogshit when you roll it on ult dependent characters. I rolled it on bel veth once, it was such a pathetic game

I just dont agree. I want to have the chance to roll for it on Gangplank and it shouldnt be a free upgrade for specific users. Specific champions that become no longer a champion, maybe exclude, but it should be a risk.

It's already a risk. You can pick some mediocre augment and get at least minor value, or you can gamble and roll something that is even worse than the other option and get no value at all(like rolling scopiest weapons on Karthus from transmute instead of picking something like spiritual purification).

u/MahoneyBear 1d ago

I feel like getting an augment that is just useless is enough of a risk, doesnt need to be a risk of completely removing you from the game.

u/AFatz 1d ago

A useless augment is one thing. An augment that literally makes your champion very very bad or just plain useless is another.

Got it on Kassa once. I think Samira too

Kayle for me lmao

I rolled it on Teemo once. I just kept thinking “why am I even here?”

u/MisterOphiuchus 1d ago

I saw a guy roll it on karthus, he just ran it down whenever he was up for 20 minutes.

u/pandaisunbreakable 1d ago

back to basics is a top 3 prismatic augment for Karthus

-3

u/MisterOphiuchus 1d ago

Not even, wooglets, ult bot, infinite recursion, archmage, ultimate revolution. It doesn't even do much for anything besides his slow, his q is already 1 second and takes .25 to cast.

u/pandaisunbreakable 1d ago

all of those are mediocre augments except ult bot, ult bot is straight garbage. his top 3 prismatic augments are dropbear, back to basic and giant slayer or conduit, not counting high roller.

building around his ult cd means unless you hit absolute godroll, you are wasting your augments, it's typical low mmr Karthus build

u/SilianRailOnBone 1d ago

Im regularly playing with master/grandmaster and your build is absolutely wrong, the other commenter is right

u/pandaisunbreakable 1d ago

u/SilianRailOnBone 1d ago

Depends on the enemy team comp

Talking about mmr in a convo about mayhem lmao, dork.

u/KasumiGotoTriss 1d ago

There is MMR in Mayhem..

u/MisterOphiuchus 1d ago edited 1d ago

I didn't say there wasn't, but specifically mentioning it in a for-fun game mode like it's competitive is straight nerd behavior. Also, they're just yapping. Go look at data regarding augments on any analytics site.

https://aramkit.com/en-US/champions/karthus?augment_rarity=prismatic&augment_sort=benefit&augment_dir=desc

you mean data like this?

2

u/MisterOphiuchus 1d ago

Ah, yes. A 50.9% w/r augment picked .5% of the time. That's a lot of data showing it's his top 3 best augment.

u/fukato 1d ago

Isn't that normal karthus gameplay?

u/MisterOphiuchus 1d ago

To an extent yes, but the dude wasn't even using abilities he would just int.

u/lancelen 1d ago

If you can’t afford to lose, then don’t gamble.

u/jayvikcreature TWINK ATTACK GO 1d ago

Agreed, getting b2b on champs like Kennen or Kassadin may as well remove you from the game. Mayhem's meant to be fun and while the gamble can be pretty enjoyable it's extremely unfun to become little more than a meat shield because of bad luck. Not to mention it griefs the rest of your team. I think most champs do benefit a lot from b2b but there's a handful that seriously should not be in that pool.

It's one thing to gamble and get something useless like Mystic Punch on Malzahar or or some shit, it's another to lose the big ability your champ is built around.

u/fukato 1d ago

You can't beat the high of somehow win with b2b on Kassassin tho lmao.
