Why no wards? It is a support build after all.

*Edit* Also, what about post boots? If you get the speed pot, what item would you replace your boots with?

Gulfwulf (81) | April 24, 2019 5:16pm
Sentry Ward is listed under consumables.

Which can only be held 1 at a time, normal wards should be listed too.

About wards, if you are going to play as support I think it's implicit the need of wards. Come on you are a support, of course you have to buy wards.

Looks good. I'm not sure how I feel about Shoes of the Magi, but I can see how the extra pen can come in handy for early game aggression if your ADC is able to follow up properly. By the way, Phantom Veil works against both Ymir's and Cabrakan's walls so it's an option if either of them are being a pita with the walls.

I can add them points for Veil, I usually don't get it when facing them but there have been times where if I had Veil it could have potentially saved me or my team from dying. Thanks for the feedback.

Good start man! Feels refreshing to see an author who is genuinely trying to make a good guide and is willing to have educated discussions. Thanks for not being a troll.

Anyway, some feedback the others missed which I should go over. meditation cloak isn't that good. Magic Shell outclasses it, especially in the late game. I typically get Magic Shell first item. Gulfwulf seems to think this way as well.

+1 vote to your guide.

Buckeyes614 | February 25, 2019 6:21pm
Thanks for the vote, I'm definitely here to learn and get better. I thought I took Meditation Cloak off, at least it's not on my saved. Do I have to hit publish again for everyone to see it? If so sorry for that. I do like Magic Shell more as well but I usually get it later so I will try it early and see how it goes.

boogiebass (46) | February 25, 2019 6:42pm
yes. After making a change to the guide, hit save then hit publish

These are actually not bad builds, especially as you've said you're a newer player.

You tend to balance things pretty well. One thing I'd say is that in some cases, you want to make sure you're building enough health. Plenty of protections are nice, but I think you're lacking higher health, which is just as important. Concept is for effective health, or eHP. Health is more important against true damage, as an example, which ignores protections...and the more protections you build, the less effective they become with each add.

For example, take your 3rd and 4th builds. I know the point is to be aggressive there, and 400 health isn't bad in build 3, but only 150 added health in the entirety of build 4 is way too little. Instead of getting both Spirit Robe and Mantle of Discord, you're probably better off dropping Mantle, and going for another option, even if a different example is going to be situational.

In a lot of ways, Gauntlet of Thebes can be okay as an item built directly after shoes, but often, you'll get better use out of an early Sovereignty, and getting Thebes later (or not at all).

Another aggressive alternative, but less aggressive in some ways, would be getting Reinforced Shoes, followed by Stone of Binding. Stone doesn't have health, and has only moderate levels of protections, so the earlier Reinforced gives you additional to give you that earlier tankiness.

Buckeyes614 | February 25, 2019 5:24pm
Thanks for the feedback. I agree, when making these builds I was concerned about the health. With build 4 in the notes I recommended selling Stone of Binding for a health item(Edit: not sure if you were able to see notes), but at that point it's probably too late? It did go over my head that I was lacking health in that build.

I see some players in Masters and Diamond going the Shoes of Focus, Sovereignty, health item with magical protection route. I sometimes find my self doing the same in games as well. So I definitely want to add a build, I just don't know how to round out the build.

I thought the cost of Gauntlet of Thebes was worth getting early. Is it worth getting it after Sovereignty? In this case it seems more of a situational item. Could an item like Hide of the Urchin replace it?

A focus of the builds was also 40% CDR. How important is it really and would 20%(30% with potion)be viable? What do you think of Shoes of Focus, Sovereignty, Urchin/Heartward/Pestilence, Spirit Robe, Midgardian/Oni, Dagger or one of the items mentioned earlier that wasn't selected? I usually struggle with the last item.

Branmuffin17 (394) | February 25, 2019 8:54pm
Agreed about no Urchin for Supports unless absolutely needed. Thebes is the better choice if you need dual protections + health, because at least it provides a bit of protection aura.

Thebes is worth getting fairly early, but you understand that until you have some stacks, you don't have much in terms of protections. You're safer getting some earlier protections first, then you can be a bit more aggressive if need be.

On the other hand, if you're playing passive in duo, then Thebes earlier is typically okay.

I did see the notes there, but you want some earlier health, not just near the end of the build.

20% if you had more aggression (e.g. Void Stone) would be fine. I think I'd probably target 20-30% myself. Don't need 40%. If you really want 40% late-game, pick up a Potion of Magical Might. Sounds weird for a support, but it's a quick 10%, and not so bad late-game.

Gulfwulf (81) | February 25, 2019 5:30pm
I'd forget about urchin because it's too selfish an item for a support. I'd go reinforced/focus depending on how much lane pressure I'm up against (you'll usually have a good idea by the time you're ready to finish your shoes), Sov unless I really need early magical protections, which Void Stone/heartward come in handy, oni, Thebes (you get stacks off of assists, so it should be easy to stack by that point), spirit, mid if there are 2 or more AA gods on the other team, and Emperor's Armor when either my team is sieging or the enemy team is sieging us. Whether you go with mid or emp's depends on the enemy team and how well your team is doing: basically pick the one that will help your team more.
