What Not to Pair with Magic Missile

Bad augment synergies and pairings to avoid

Avoid

Avoid Magic Missile + Draw Your Sword

Avoid this pairing because Draw Your Sword forces you to become melee with 200 attack range, severely reducing the distance your Firecrackers travel. Magic Missile deals maximum damage at 1000 units distance, so being forced into melee range drastically reduces the damage output of every Firecracker proc.

Avoid Magic Missile + Deft

This pairing has poor synergy because Magic Missile triggers on ability damage with a 6-second cooldown per cast, not on basic attacks. Deft provides 60% bonus attack speed which does nothing to increase Magic Missile's trigger rate, wasting the augment slot on irrelevant stats.

Avoid Magic Missile + Slow and Steady

Slow and Steady sets your attack speed to a static 0.625 and prevents all attack speed bonuses. While Magic Missile is ability-based and unaffected directly, you lose all attack speed scaling from other sources, creating a restrictive build that conflicts with many complementary options.

Avoid Magic Missile + Back to Basics

Back to Basics seals your ultimate ability permanently, which can significantly reduce your overall damage output and ability casts. Magic Missile benefits from frequent ability usage, and losing your ultimate means fewer opportunities to trigger the Firecrackers on enemy champions.
