What Not to Pair with Witchful Thinking

Avoid Witchful Thinking + EscAPADe: Avoid this pairing because EscAPADe converts all ability power into bonus attack damage, completely nullifying the ability power granted by Witchful Thinking. This creates a direct mechanical conflict where the raw stats from Witchful Thinking are immediately removed and converted, making the initial augment's effect entirely wasted. Avoid Witchful Thinking + Blunt Force: Witchful Thinking provides ability power, which does not scale with Blunt Force's 20% attack damage increase. For ability power champions who would take Witchful Thinking, Blunt Force offers no benefit to their primary scaling stat, resulting in a stat mismatch that wastes an augment slot. Avoid Witchful Thinking + Deft: Witchful Thinking grants ability power for ability-based champions, while Deft provides 60% bonus attack speed for auto-attackers. These stats scale different playstyles and damage sources, creating a hybrid build that lacks focus and fails to meaningfully amplify either attack or ability damage. Avoid Witchful Thinking + Slow and Steady: Slow and Steady removes all attack speed bonuses and converts them to attack damage, but Witchful Thinking provides ability power which does not benefit from this conversion. The playstyle conflict between a static attack speed build and ability power scaling results in poor synergy and wasted potential.
