Introduction

Hello, my game name is Desahri, and this is the first guide I have ever made. I am still in bronze II, but I don't play ranked a lot.
At last, I'm dutch, so my English might be a bit vague, but don't hesitate to ask any questions.

to get as much damage from you basic attacks, you can take some armor penetration as well, however, some extra flat ad can be strong as well. |

If you a combination of armor pen. and magic pen., you can replace them with hybrid pen., it will give you an advantage in stats. If u prefer only one of them, then don't buy this rune. |

this is mostly to get less damage from spells from the enemy support. In this way, it is easier to poke the enemy adc without getting too much damage from the enemy support (e.g. ![]() |

most supports can be out of mana very quickly when they try to poke too much, so a bit of extra mana regen can be very useful. |

Starting items



This build is mainly meant for you to be able to use your spells more frequently. I mainly don't have to use this, since the mana cost of





Because of Season 4 this build will let you get a lot more money, because of the tribute passive, which gives you bonus gold when you use a basic attack on the enemy champion. You will have to recall early and use your





This item grants gold when you don't last-hit a minion. It also grants increased regeneration. Only take this if you plan to play passive.




Still a strong item, but right now, the other support items are a better choice on

Trinkets


At the start of the game, you should start with a warding totem, because else, you won't have a lot of wards. You will be limited to your


After your 2nd or 3rd recall, I would sell your




This is a map with stars, indicating the most important places to ward. This is for when you are the bottom team (purple). Turn your screen 180o to see it for team blue's perspective


The red stars are very important to ward, if you don't want to be ganked.
Keeping the tri-bush warded is one of the most important things to ward. The enemy jungler can come through this bush, so if it isn't warded, you will get ganked without even being pushed.
Warding the river is only necessarily if you are pushing, since the jungler probably won't come when you are close to your turret.
The red star close to the


The orange stars aren't necessarily to ward, but can be quite handy if they are warded. The bottommost orange star gives vision to all the 'entrances' the enemy jungler can come from.

The yellow stars can be important, depending on the situation. The bottom two stars are placed if you want vision on the enemy support. Against a



These are wards to know where the enemy is guarding, and also to know the position of the enemy jungler.

Boots and enchantments

It is always nice if someone takes this enchantment.


If you know what it does, it doesn't need any notes. The insta-heal and speedboost are very strong to get back in the game quickly.
Final items

...

An underestimated item. The active on it gives a slow on a target enemy champion ánd surrounding enemies, and it has given my team quite a lot of kills. The slow is only 2 seconds but it reduces the movement speed by 50%
talisman of ascension
...

talisman of ascension's active gives a small speedboost to all allies within its range. It can be used to engage and disengage. The extra health, health regen and mana regen makes it a very good item for squishy pokers, such as


face of the mountain
...targon's brace
With face of the mountain, you will get quite a lot of health and health regen. the passive is very strong as well, since you will now have 4 stacks, but its active will be quite useless. When activating, an ally will get a shield based of 10% of your max health, and you will lose 20% of your current health.






zeke's herald


^

zeke's herald is quite expensive, but is quite useful. At my level, I never see the AD bruiser taking this item, so I normally take it myself. It gives extra poke on your basic attacks, it gives CDR, it gives extra sustain, and it provides an aura for your team (if in range) which gives extra AD and lifesteal. I only take this if nobody else does, and if it works in our team composition.



When the



...

This is a must-have for most supports. It gives a high amount of mana regen (14 mana regen + UNIQUE passive: mana font), extra magic resist, and a very strong active: It removes a stun, fear, etc and heals 150 + 10 x level. You should always try to use it on the adc. Might take a long time before you can buy it, but it is definitely worth it.



.........^
........

Sometimes, a support gets a lot of kills, since your adc can't secure it, or your basic attacks deals the finishing blow by accident. nothing is wrong with that (though it is not ideal either), but if it is the case, you should do a bit more damage, else it is wasted money. I like to buy an

Notes
DON'T take both


It is possible that you don't like most of the support items, or you don't use them (e.g. you never use ohmwrecker, or all turrets are down). You can instead buy an AP item. I don't recommend buying

Q




During the late game, you can turn teamfights with your aqua prison, if you hit 2 or more enemies. If these two enemies are the adc/apc, your chances of winning are very positive, since their main damage dealers can't do damage for 1.5 seconds, and won't be able to escape.

Early game, this ability is a very big poke, and it slows as well. You can use it on yourself, to poke, or use it on your adc when you want to engage (e.g. when the jungler comes).
In teamfights, it won't be that useful anymore, you mostly use it when you win the teamfight, and want to secure the last kills, or when you have to escape, to give someone a boost, or slow an enemy. You will have to come close to him to hit a basic attack, so it might be a bit too dangerous to do so.

You can also use it when a jungler comes. If it is warded, you have to use it very early, so that the enemy will realise too late that the jungler comes to gank.
On top of that, when the jungler comes for a gank, when the enemy is hit by


In teamfights, you can literally 'turn the tides'. The knoch and slow gives your allies (especially the apc mid) the chance to hit their spells, and turn around teamfights.
