Chaac if you want to win the late game.
Ares not having any peal when ever you pick him. That is not really true, yes you do not have any hard CC to peal with. But you do have a stupid amount of damage to peal with at least in the early and mid game.
Blessed Presence (Passive)

Each completed aura item that Ares owns grants him 30 additional magical power. |

Shackles
Skillshot
|
Chains extend from Ares' shield, doing damage to all enemies in its path. Hitting a god shackles them to Ares, cripples them, preventing movement abilities, dealing the same damage every second while slowing them and buffing Ares. While shackled, Ares can fire another chain for free within 2s.

Bolster Defenses
Aura
|
Ares strengthens the defenses of himself and all nearby allies, granting protections and reducing crowd control durations. For each shackled enemy, the protection buffs are increased.

Searing Flesh
Cone
|
Flames pour forth from Ares' shield, engulfing enemies in a cone in front of him causing damage every 0.5s for 4s. Ares is immune to knockback for the duration.

No Escape
AOE

Ares throws chains out to all enemy gods in an area around him. All enemies hit by the chains are pulled to Ares after 2.5s, taking damage and are stunned.

Great for early pressure, you get great mana sustain and some damage. And when you get to 75 stacks, which you should do pretty fast if you get some god kills/assists. You get some cooldown reduction as well. You could also warrior’s blessing or guardian’s blessing if you are a *****.
|

Just some early movement speed is great for securing early kills (6% > 0%) and getting a heads start on travlers shoes is great because you should be rotating a lot. Trying to gank all the lanes and burning beads so that your jungle can have some get some easy ganks.

Two healing potions is normally enough for me but you can go for three if you want to. But I like saving the 50 gold.

Again I prefer going just two, but you can go three if you want to.
Mage's Blessing should be enough mana sustain, so you should not need the  Mana Potions.

Core items

Travelers shoes
|
The movement speed is very important so that you can chase your target and rotate around the map.
 Shoes of the Magi is also a valid choice for the extra damage and penetration, but you got insane damage even with travelers shoes. So I would recommend going for movement, you are a support after all so you got teammates that can deal damage as well.
|

|
You want to keep the ball rolling, but you also want some defense.
Void Stone is perfect for this, you get 20 penetration 20+30 magical power. So a pretty huge power spike as well as giving you 150 health and 60 magical protections. Physical protections are usually more valuable in the early game, but they can’t deal damage to you if they are dead.

Probably my favorite item for
Ares. You get 100 health, 10% cooldown reduction and 10% movement speed as well as 30 power. The attack speed reduction aura at least gives you some protections as well. The 20% increased attack speed isn’t bad either, it actually lets you hit two AAs before using your next Shackles. But that is super risky and hard to manage without instant cast on. |
Shackles. Without taking to much damage yourself, it can be a good idea to walk out of lane and come back in behind the enemy from the jungle. You can basically just repeat this over and over again. This will force the enemy ADC and support to retreat back to tower or force out a rotation. Or just give you some nice Shackles and maybe a kill. Void Stone finished and you can 1v1 everyone so just try and find the enemy jungle while he is doing some of his buffs and kill him. This will give your jungle a lead as well as giving your ADC solo farm so he/she should also get a lead. Blink Rune --> No Escape combos.
Purification Beads or just kill them. Try and use Bolster Defenses in fights to help out your team and pick people you know do not have Purification Beads with your No Escape. Or just go ham and try to get some 5 man No Escape. But be careful so you don't just Blink Rune --> No Escape and die before you even get it off.

That said, I feel that full protections with just
But...
Aura items are particularly strong right now.
Basically, don't get aura items just to get aura items...but if it fits the situation, absolutely.
But the second you start getting behind you should should take some proper defence yes.
But I think you allways want:
And if you are doing great early I love the
The build it self is very basic, but there was no updated Ares guide. So I had to make one to pay tribute to the one and only.
