I personally wouldn't build this.. But if you want to fit it into your build.

Notes Reasoning why? Only health in lane so this item is useless until you gain the stacks. Usually, If I see a guardian build this I target them for sure to keep them below me for an easy frag. Health vs sov your pick. You can't rotate with an unstacked thebes.

Heartward and Stone Of Binding should definitely be present as options. They should be added.

SoB could be added as an alternative but I never seem to pick it up. I will add it for the people.

Nice guide. Quick correction in your threats section: magi's cloak won't help against Ares' shackles, since cripples aren't hard cc.

Thanks for that. I will edit that.

It only protects against No Escape, right?

Items choice looks very solid (although I miss Gauntlet of Thebes and Heartward Amulet as at least situational items) and the guide has a different way to present the information (that I personally liked it, mainly the Pros/Cons).

Also would nice you put some full builds examples to help new players/people not used to SF.

Anyway, +1

Yeah before I updated I did have example builds for days lol w/ watchers gift ofc. I miss GoT as well it was such a good item back then but nowadays I don't have a reason to build it. If I see the other support build it, my team would usually just gank the enemy support to keep him behind and let me ascend. Since that support has to build instead of spiking early to protect his ADC w/ sov or something.

The builds are pretty solid. In my opinion though, I feel that the taunt upgraded first is the best way to go. It is one of the best CCs in the game and is almost a guaranteed kill on most squishy gods if your teammates follow up. If the enemy uses Purification, then just wait for your taunt to come back up and then taunt them again and bam, dead as long as your teammates aren't braindead.

Sorry for late reply. LMAO damn but yeah upgrading the 2 would make the taunt duration longer. Honestly, I alter between upgrading the 2 or 3 depending on if the duo lane / mid has beads or not most of the time they don't have beads usually meds which is weird in ranked. I like getting them low enough so my teammates can finish them off per say that is why I upgrade the 3 for the most part. - Thanks for the feedback I'm sure someone would know what to do.
