Introduction

Cupid in my opinion can be played high damage or as a support. He does take a While to get used to, but he is a good champion when you need a carry, and are lacking a Healer. He is also good for clearing trash quickly, and because of his 2 he will never run out of mana while healing his teammates! You can play cupid in mid by yourself or in a lane with a partner, I find him to do very well with Odin, Thor, and Hades.

Skills

His passive is every 10 shots of his arrows makes a stack that gives you a buff.
i recommend always trying to get 10 stacks before using abilities 1 or 2, but we all know that this doesn't always work out. if you do have a stack your 1 applies a stun, which can be very useful when chasing down low health enemies!

Pros / Cons

Pros

Has a heal as a carry
his heal also regains mana when allies pick the hearts up
he can do a lot of damage early and late game
he can catch teammates off guard
he has an escape

Cons

He can be squishy
sometimes its hard to tell when to use ult
melee champs can beat up on him pretty easily

Team Work

ALWAYS THROW DOWN HEARTS!
CHAIN ULTS
USE STUN EFFECTIVELY

Creeping / Jungling

most important jungle buff for cupid is either movement, cooldown, or attack.

Blue is not that important because of the mana he gets back with the hearts.

dunno if you need two lifesteal items in the first build. Devs gloves probably is better in the second build since it gives you phys power and you already have two other attack speed items. Maybe more info on the build will make me understand your reasoning but as for right now I don't really see it.
