Hello.

I've seen a few people mentioning playing support with Gragas and Hecarim. I would like to try out in a normal mode game.

What items should I make and what's the skill build order?

Help appreciated.

Though I don't play those specific champions, I'd say choose the skill order that best provides effective CC for you ADC to capitalize on. You can do the standard support build by getting item 3401 item 3361 and then going tanky. I know some people also like to take Lux as a support but if the enemy team snowballs and you have no tank that could backfire.

i dont know about hecarim since he doesnt have a lot of utility and essentially is a carry champ requiring gold for stats most of the time whereas gragas always has his CC and base stats to fall back on. and im pretty sure you will notice MOST supports are picked to play support due to very good base stats and or really high utility.

I would lean more towards Gragas than Hecarim as Gragas actually has ranged harass. You could start relic shield or ancient coin or Frost Queen's (based on preference) but I would lean towards either relic shield or ancient coin. Build tanky and be there to initiate fights. Build path should probably be something like Sightstone (I usually merge Sightstone with my gold gen but you do you). Locket is probably wise, I could see Righteous Glory on Gragas but otherwise I would just build tanky for the matchup.
