Introduction

This build is based on movement speed modifier for you, your team, and your opponents. As support you never should be in front, it's why my core build is based on



I have more than 2000 games as support and around 300 as other roles. I was gold in few ranked games in Season 2.
It's my first guide and I'm not native from an English country, so please don't be rude with me about grammatical fault, they will be fixed soon, with some help.
Good reading Summoner! Feel free to post constructive comments!!!

Exhaust can help your team in many ways, to shut down an opponent carry, to avoid enemies to flee or to chase you, and provide 10 flat armor/magic penetration if you choose to take
![]() |
![]() |
If you are not a fan of exhaust you can take heal, since the last patch he will heal you and allies near you for the same average amount of heal. Useful to bait or/and save someone. |


- level 1, start with
Aqua Prison for engaging/disengaging/harassing.
- level 2, 3, take
Ebb and Flow and
Tidecaller's Blessing, in the order that you prefer.
- level 4, 5, pick
Ebb and Flow and

After that you should use the way who fits better with your lane play-style :

![]() |
If your team is mostly squishy, grab a ![]() |
![]() |
Cheap Item, with 4 Gold/10, a good mana regeneration aura and a nice active useful to engage: placed on an ally, he will slow surrounding enemy by 30% for 4 sec! A good alternative to ![]() |
OTHER SITUATIONAL ITEMS.
Against AD
![]() |
Reduce by 10% all the incoming auto attack on you, and add 25 armor. Just the best choice against heavy AD carry team. |
![]() |
Good bonuses, a huge 20% cooldown reduction, a lot of mana, a really good 90 armor boost and a passive very useful against any AD carry. Pretty expensive. |
![]() |
This item is really a powerful dfensive item, but don't really fit to ![]() |

Boosting your Team
Zeke's Herald | If your team is mostly AD, your team will thanks you for taking this item, giving them 10% life steal and 20 AD and you will gain 15% cooldown reduction and a little chunk of 250 HP. |
![]() |
Not really the best item for ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
If your team is mostly AP, take that, an aura with 20% spell vamp and 30 AP is just huge. |
Boosting Yourself
![]() |
These boots are good if you are planning to got a decent amount of cooldown reduction early game, with your masteries and these boots only, you got already 25% cooldown reduction. But the season 3 bring a lot of new support items with cooldown reduction, in my opinion you can max your cooldown reduction with other items, ![]() |
![]() |
A good item if you want a big mana pool and some mana regen. His free upgrade ![]() |
![]() |
Bring some tankyness and AP. But you shouldn't need to be really tanky. |

Sight Ward
![]() |
- Surging Tides (Passive): Allied champions hit by Nami's abilities have their movement speeds increased for a short duration.
- Aqua Prison: Nami sends a bubble of water into the air to a targeted location that deals magic damage and stuns enemies hit by the bubble.
- Ebb and Flow: Unleashes a surge of water that can target an enemy or allied champion. The water can bounce from champion to champion and deals magic damage to enemy champions and heals allied champions.
- Tidecaller's Blessing: Nami buffs an allied champion, adding extra magic damage and a slow to their attacks.
- Tidal Wave: Nami summons a massive Tidal Wave from her position. The wave knocks enemies hit into the air, deals magic damage and slows all enemy units it passes through. Enemies closest to the initial spawn point are slowed for a shorter duration than those farther away, but all are slowed for a significant length of time and Tidal Wave has a large range.
