The sheer amount of possible unit and combination possibilities make it demanding to muse over each and every single one of them so I listed a few of the pairs that uniquely stood out to me: Even as values vary for each combination of triggers and effects we can see by looking at general effects like ‘Gain 50 AD at combat start’ that they seem to be slightly weaker than their item counterparts (Deathblade in this case which gives 60 AD) to take into account the other benefits of having an emblem another trait count which also works to empower the other units. Such as ’80 AD at 40% HP which sounds especially potent on certain carries like Zed who have the ability to not only quickly hit that threshold but also quickly heal back up. But every effect is made different and many cannot be as easily as compared.

How does the Emblem compare as an item? For example ‘Gain 18 AP every 5 seconds’ can be likened to a slightly worse Archangel’s which instead gives 20 AP every 5 seconds.

ADMIN effects DO work during neutral rounds (ex.

It seems all the team wide effects have been balanced around the power of a Silver Augment.

Woodland Charm units, Target Dummies, Hackerim w/ a unit, Mech sacrifices, Leblanc’s Mirror Image all DO count as allies.

ZZ’rot’s, Syndra pulls, Zac blobs, Prankster dummies all do NOT count as allies.

Allies include any units that was on your board at the start of the round.

With Hackerim it will count as an ‘Ally Death’.

Original Source as the embed may be difficult to navigate: So I decided to make a a spreadsheet for players to get a better idea of what direction they could go with each of the ADMIN’s instead as that does a much better job in helping players understand their different strengths. Also it would largely fluctuate depending on the meta.

Originally I was going to make an ‘ADMIN Tier List’ ranking all the possible combinations from best to worst but from the get-go I could tell it wasn’t going to be helpful nor accurate due to the different nuances that every situation brings.
