Champion Build Guide

Items

UNDER CONSTRUCTION, GAMEPLAY INFORMATION WILL BE ADDED

Information before starting:
Your build will basically be in this order->
Support item - Mythical - Boots - or - Situational item -

Note: If you have to build a situational item (example: ) early, you should buy first to not delay stronger shield/heals.

MYTHICAL ITEMS

is the best in scenarios where you have to disengage or engage or when there are many skillshots to dodge.
Example: There is Sett top, Fiddlesticks jungle, Xerath mid, Kai'sa adc, Rakan support -> in this case your ult and q probably won't be enough to disengage and xerath in late hurts a lot so is here for that!

When you know fights will last long (long fights=many tanks) you should go for because this item reaches it's max potential in a bit long time after fights start so basically run this if enemy team has 3 or more tanks or whenever you don't have to run other mythicals.

First of all I think this item is underrated. grants you lots of AP from mythical pasive (which undirectly increases your damage with , also your shield/heals). You should run this item when your team is focusing on river fights (makes easier to proc pasive) or you're smurfing hard.

Run this item if there are 3 or more assassins but keep in mind you'll have too much mana issues (mainly because of going ) so don't forget to buy as first item.

LEGENDARY ITEMS

Basically run if your bot lane partner is an attack speed based hyper carry such as , , , , , (if he's not going lethality) and (not an attack speed carry yeah but he's an exception). If your partner is an ap carry such as , , run . If your partner is not one of the characters I listed, just run if the CD reduction will work good with them or skip that part and go for situational items.

Run in early game and upgrade it to later if enemy team have too much omnivamp and heals.

If enemy team has too much CC (example: Amumu top, Ashe adc and Leona support) rush , if there are only 1 or 2 CC you can just build it later.

Good choice to buy as 4th or 5th item. Can proc or for many people.

If you're winning hard and have +8 stacks in mid game then you might wanna upgrade it to .

As a support you must always have in inventory, when you have 5 items you shouldn't go for 6th one and instead, buy and stack wards in it. Definitely the best last item choice.

BOOTS

Most of the time you'll be running this, the best choice for pocketing.

If you trust your adc you can leave them alone in lane and focus more on roams ( outclasses while roaming also combines the gameplay really well).

I personally use these boots if there is a support who slows (example: , etc.).

Use this only if enemy team has lots of CC and focusing you instead of your carries.

You gotta rush these boots if enemy team has 4 or 5 AD characters.

Runes

SORCERY

is for matchups where you can constantly poke and need to scale considering grants well amount of sustain in late game. is usual for poking, combines well with and .

is really situational, i personally don't have mana issues without it but some people always picks it so it really depends on the player, definitely not a bad choice. works really well with + but also in defensive ways.

is not viable mainly because the other 2 options work much better on . is a great rune for because of her passive , usable in most cases. is good if you think that you won't be low hp in lane and bully enemy bot lane, the best option for smurfing.

is a good choice in matchups which you'll be able to constantly poke. is great for river fights (works really well with and because you'll be much stronger than usual in river) and roaming. Pick if you think you'll lose early by draft.

RESOLVE

is really strong against engage, the movement speed when it procs is just OP and must be abused. Also is really good for roaming because of the movement speed when proc. Use this if enemy support engages hard or they have 3 or more assassins, has a good synergy with and .

procs with and , other 2 options are not viable so this is the way.

You should use if you'll trade constantly. is for reducing damage of burst in early lane. Both are great runes so these depends on the player.Note: I heard that works well with but your laning will be weaker so keep in mind, i haven't tested by myself yet.

is the only viable option here, great rune as it buffs your shield/heals by 5%, 15% if target is below 40% HP.

helps a lot with sustain in lane, other 2 are useless.

free AP=more movement speed=more damage=more shied/heals, great rune.

becomes completely useless after mid game so i personally hate it but there are people using it so it depends I guess. works really well against high CC comps as it reduces CD also useful for , and . as i mentioned many times above, movement speed is everything for Janna, scales really well and a great rune. I run this on most of my matches. is not a bad choice but there's no point to choose it instead of the 3 above, weaker than others in most cases.

By using you're almost guaranteeing a 2v2 fight win, helps a lot in mid game, life saver. Other 2 are not as useful as stopwatch BUT* it depends on player, some people use but comparing boots to stopwatch is a bit ridiculous to be honest.

is good against poke supports that outrange/trades you such as , , , . Other 2 are not viable.

If you're going you usually wanna go because of high CD of the item. is just great as it brings you movement speed and instant recovery by pots is just insanely good.

Okay so I gotta mention that I gave you 6 rune pages and most of them are similar to each other so I can't give you very specific and detailed examples of where to use each rune page. I can just tell you that:

- Arcane Comet against-> Senna, Nami, Yuumi, Zilean, Tahm Kench, Sona, Braum, Taric and Bard; if you are confident you can also go Arcane Comet against Leona, Rell and Alistar.
- Guardian against-> Nautilus, Rell, Samira, Alistar, Pyke, Thresh, Sett, Gragas, Pantheon, Blitzcrank.
- I personally prefer using Summon Aery against Senna, Nami and Lulu because I feel like I need the extra sustain of it and performs well as far as i experienced.

- For the 3 stats, you can go
2 AP-1 armor -> Usual.
1 AS-1 AP-1 armor -> Works well if you think that you can constantly poke.
1 AP-1 MR-1 armor -> Hard matchups
1 AH-1 AP-1 armor -> I tried this many times and to be honest I didn't feel the missing AP that i passed for AH so this is probably even better than the 2 AP setups.[*]
