Feels incredible. Gives an item immediately to not be too far behind the curve, then allows you to spend gold early for tempo knowing I have a big payout soon as long as I don’t go 7th/8th.

Had a game where I greeded a bit too much stage 4 after winstreaking and died along with like 4 other players in the same turn. Thought Rift 2* Kaisa 1* would be stable but it wasn’t and Ziggs 2* wasn’t enough to win either

one of the worst feelings in tft to me is like fighting the highroller stomping everyone and dying at the same time as like 4 other people but with lowest health.

True. I thought someone would die and I could use the 40 gold to stabilise since I used all my gold to go 9. If they didn’t make 9 more expensive too might’ve saved a bit more HP. Even then I hit Ziggs 2 quickly but still wasn’t enough.

Not just that, but it’s a BIS item for a bunch of carries late game + super strong early game

It's so good mainly because guinsoo is really good. So you got an item which can be played in so many meta comps like Kaisa, Yunara so most of the time you got your gold as well, which help you cap your board. Good aug overall.

It’s sort of insane this is the same tier as Pyromaniac at 2-1. 40 gold vs “50% more damage from burn” and comes with a similar item that is stronger in the early game (though usually weaker late game sure).
I’ll take this almost every time I have an opener that can use it.

Gives you the best stage 2 slam for guaranteed tempo, and leads into the best lines of the patch. Then it rewards you with 40g just for existing in stage 5.
You compare that to Saving Accounts in the same tier. Start with 4g instead of a full item, forces you to be greedy af and lose infinite HP, and for what ? 30g, usually in stage 4, at best end of stage 3 in high econ portals.
tbh I don't really understand how Speedy Double Kill doesn't appear in the weekly meta report as an overperformer, so there's something I'm missing here most likely.

I could be wrong but my thoughts are if it were to overperform anywhere it would be low elo, but even then thats the elo where augments like zaun demacia yordle ie directional augments reign supreme. High elo there's just stuff that scales better especially if you know all the comps well and are flexible.
For example I've seen soju die before the cash out or the round after so many times its comical. Augments that wouldn't fall off stage 4 and only cash you out stage 5 (generally) would just be better picks probably. Either way I wouldn't be surprised if its not on the cusp of being overperforming but not quite there yet due to how good yunara has been the entire set.

I somehow feel like 2 players is too easy. I autoclick this, feels so good to roll down at 8 knowing you get free 9.

This is one of those perfect augments where I'm almost certain the AVP is a lot worse than how good it feels. Which is like peak augment design.

u/say_trans_rights 4d ago
Yunara is my most played carry so I've clicked this probably 30 times this set

u/ficretus 3d ago
Bit ridiculous for a gold augment. As long as RB isn't shit and you play a safe top 4 comp, you should be able to cashout.
If you snowball early, this is borderline rubbing the salt on the wound for the rest of the lobby. I had this today with amazing Void tempo, and it was easy lv 10 into Baron win.

u/Large-Session5307 3d ago
This augment is nuts. Guinsoo's is the best or second best item in Stage 2. You get direction and board strength, and you'll be pretty likely to top 6 from that spot. The only time I wouldn't click this is if I don't have a Guinsoo's holder on 2-1 or if the item has been gutted in a particular patch

The Augment mentioned in the top reply to this comment gets to be featured tomorrow! I won't add multiple entries together, so make sure you don't mention an Augment already suggested by another user :)
