Avoid Snowball Upgrade + Biggest Snowball Ever

Both augments modify Mark in different ways, but Biggest Snowball Ever completely replaces the standard Mark with a massive snowball mechanic, overriding and negating Snowball Upgrade's snowstorm effect. The slow, damage-over-time, and sight from Snowball Upgrade are lost entirely, making this a direct mechanical conflict with zero synergy.

Avoid Snowball Upgrade + Holy Snowball

Holy Snowball also modifies Mark, providing invulnerability after dash and 100 ability haste reduction. These effects compete for the same summoner spell slot and both alter Mark's functionality. Taking both wastes an augment slot since Holy Snowball's superior cooldown reduction makes Snowball Upgrade's 50 ability haste redundant and unnecessary.

Avoid Snowball Upgrade + Pinball
