So, I don't know what the fuck to build as support anymore. Has anybody figured it out?

I'm trying to figure out Lux support cuz' I loves the Lux, and it seems strong but I have issues with the build order. These are my thoughts plz solve problems for me:

First problem is I feel like I still need one GP10 item, but I don't like any of them.

I don't want to build Philo anymore because I'm not going to turn it into anything.

I like Kage's Lucky Pick, it has a lot of build paths, but if I get that I feel like I need to start the game with an amp tome. I don't WANT to start the game with an amp tome, I want to start the game with a flask and a faerie charm because that gives you a much stronger early laning phase.

If I start with a faerie charm I feel like I want to get an early Chalice and turn it into Mikaels Crucible, because Crucible is just such an amazing item. But if I do that between getting a Sighstone and a Chalice I completely miss the window where getting a GP10 item is cost effective.


My second problem is basically that a Ruby Sightstone is not enough wards, which means to be cost efficient I need to have the Sightstone AND a couple wards beyond that, and that takes up 2 item slots, which is just a massive pain.


I have a reasonable idea for an end game item build, something like Kage's Lucky Shadow, Crucible, Locket, Twin Shadows, Ruby Sightstone and CDR boots, selling the KLS for a Deathcap if the game went on forever and a day. But no goddamn clue how to properly get there.

Hey guys so i know there is alot of support for FXO on this forum (with no surprise, Navi hails from here and i personally am rooting alot for their team too), but in those games with them (PL vs FXO) think you could note on some of the things our team coulda done better? Strengths / weaknesses? Cuz I told the guys that TL was watching the games, and that yall are famous for good analysis, so that third party perspective would help I think.

Also we plan to do ranked 5s most of today as well fielding a new jungler.

That's why I want to get it on Lux though, because if Lux isn't building AP as support she becomes really worthless late game. Everything but her snare requires AP to be of any consequence.

The only other option is Philo which has no good build paths. Shurelya doesn't make much sense anymore and Eleisa's Miracle is just bad.

I find Lucky Pick pretty much worthless except situationally useful on Janna, because most other supports have really crappy AP ratio. It doesn't build into anything overwhelmingly useful either.

You're overstating how much of an effect Kage's has on Lux's lategame. 25 AP translates into 15-18 more damage/shield value per spell. You don't span the difference between "good" and "worthless" over 25 AP.
