Hello guys and girls :)

I am really interested in this thingie i am going to post and i would love to hear you ideas / PoV.
So as the tittle states i am curious about the item selection for a bot lane support character.
Why would a support hero (alistar/sonna/janna/taric/soraka) be more beneficial by building the classical support items . HoH/Philo/BV/Shurellia's etc than building a normal build for an AP character , but ofc focusing more on survivability and cc-oriented items other than becoming a second AP carry.

Thank you for your time reading this :)

The farm is much more useful on your AD carry. AP items are too expensive to buy without farm.

The gold income from HoG/philo allows you to buy wards, oracles, and later on aegis, soul shroud and possibly upgrade philo to shurelya's.

well it was around 45 mins and i finished with t2 boots , rabbadons and deathfire..
I know it aint the best setup but combined with tristana @ bot and stun/deathfire/shatter it was about a 2k nuke xD.

I aint sure it WILL work at a high ranked game but those big flash heals are rly fun xD

If you taric, Ionian boots of Lucidity.

Philo>Boots>Aegis of the Leagion>Glacial Shroud? Idr if thats the name, it builds into frozen heart but you just need this to start.

Those are core after that just use your judgement and build what you need.

Get AA because its the fkest item ever: you get mana and AP by simply casting skills.
CDR boots ofc
Frozen Heart combos well with AA
Choose other three items

Of course you can buy anything before those items, they are just suggestions.

Taric Build -

Core:
T2 Boots
Hextech Gunblade
Banshee's Veil

After that, mostly situational:
Deathfire Grasp
Spirit Visage
Randuins Omen (OMFG I LOVE THIS ITEM!)
Quicksilver Sash
Force of Nature
Frozen Mallet


Personally, I like the gunblade on Taric for the active, which gives him another CC on hand; same reason why I like Randuin's so much lol
