guide, icecreamy

Hi everyone,

Happy to announce that I have unarchived my , and guides! Enjoy reading them :D

My guide still awaits artwork, I'll wait patiently for it and I hope you will too.

As said before, my guide will remain archived, I redirect you to Luther3000's upcoming guide.

My guide will receive an overhaul later, once I get to play her a bit more.

My next project: A guide, I hope to have that all up and running during the xmas holidays.

Enjoy reading my republished guides, I am looking forward to your criticism!

Yeah it's better to take flat MR because all supports do magic damage in ways so it's always the safe option, rather than taking mr/lvl because your lane will be risky.

you don't lose much more flat mr anuways :3

That's exactly why I recommend flat MR. You queue up for blind pick and end up against Corki Sona or some **** with per level and you're gonna have a bad time. It doesn't matter how good they are 60% of the time if the other 40% of the time they're useless. Flat MR isn't always optimal but it's never bad either.

It's irrelevant for experienced players who will likely be playing draft and have a page for both. I actually have six runepages just for AD carries.

Well the point where /lvl are better than flat is lvl 9, and you get that rather quickly. Mostly the game lasts longer after lvl 9 than before lvl 9 :P

Though, I agree that against some champions you need flat MR, hence why I added them as alternative :)

There's also , , , , , . There's enough bad matchups for per level that I felt it necessary to make flat MR my standard, even though per level is technically better if you can get away with it.

Alright, done updating the masteries (no one noticed I took :D), added better explanations to masteries, switched around on the cheat sheets, and changed the explanation on .

Will try to split the alternative items into seperate headings.

EDIT: Agreed on the Locket/Janna thing, will add it as alternative but that's about it :P Will also add in the Enchantment, once again as alternative.

If you're in back near your carry, and your friendly Irelia is north of you, but still facing you (even if it's just her side/arm that's facing you), she gets the movespeed. It's still supportive even when you aren't literally leading the way. :o

Also IceCreamy I take it you mean the Locket's active? Lol. The active is derpy, but you can still stack it on Janna to prolong the AD steroid from her shield.

I wouldn't get Captain Enchantment on all supports. Most of the time as a support you're following around your ADC, not leading the way. I guess it'd be useful if you're at the back and your allies need to flee. But as the support I don't tend to initiate into their enemy team unless I'm Sona or Leona. Definitely not as Nunu, Janna or Soraka.

Great way to start feedback ._.

Either way, I'm in a good mood and comments like that are not making it any worse!

- Whoops, totally my bad, will edit asap.
- Could look into that, yeah.
- I agree, I should add to all builds that item buying order can be random, I just listed good item at random :P
- Locket has this useless passive, I can't get around it. The stats are nice but...
- Works well on too since she has her Zephyr to deal magic damage.
- I only recommend Randuin's on since it syncs so well with him, the other's aren't that great with it, yet the health and armor are really great.
- Yeah, I usually wait upgrading to for a while if they don't have too much AP damage.
- The Captain Enchantment is more meant for tanks and not 1 of the champions in my guides is a tank.
- I don't really like it, but on second thought it might be better than I think to help your allies chase down fleeing people from a team fight, or help your jungler gank, etc.
- Well generally I think MR/lvl are better, since the majority of ADC and Supports don't deal all too much magic damage. Still, against , , and such I'd take them indeed. Will make it more clear.

Thanks for your feedback, will improve :)

Your cheat sheets are absolutely terrifying.

Tough Skin reduces damage from "monsters" only now, which means neutral jungle camps only.
No Explorer on supports? Especially ones going that deep in Utility?
Delaying Sightstone until after your "GP10" and Ruby Sightstone until "late game" sets you behind compared to a support who builds it first. Because supports spend the majority of their money on wards, Sightstone giving you wards effectively makes it a GP10 item for supports. Having HP also means you won't die in lane. Do the math on the price of the item versus the price of wards.
Not even a mention of Locket of the Iron Solari, which is now one of the most cost effective tanky items giving both health and cdr? (Especially on Janna, who can use it before Eye of the Storm to create more shielding and prolong the AD buff?)
Look at how the passive on Morellonomicon is applied. Having it on Soraka makes a lot of sense, but it has terribly low synergy on Janna.
Recommending Randuin's Omen on ranged supports during season 2 was already fishy. I have no idea why you're doing it still in season 3 when the item cost went up, it doesn't give CDR, it doesn't build from a GP10, and it doesn't slow ASPD anymore.
So Runic Bulwark is like a heavily sought after upgrade? Even if their team only has one AP damage dealer?
Not even a mention of Enchantment: Captain?
What's so "meh" about Twin Shadows?
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist are only alternate runes even though Zyra, Sona, Lulu, Leona and various AD carries can pump out magic damage pre-6?
