Tips for Support in Season 7
In these crazy times, here are some quick tips to Support in Season 7:
-
The new items (Knight's Vow
and Redemption 
) are must haves. Take Redemption on literally every support that's not a heavy mage (like Zyra or Vel'Koz). You can take Knight's Vow on pretty much anyone except for Soraka. -
Zeke's Harbinger
and Knight's Vow are meant to be bought together. Buy them on enchanting supports like Sona, Nami, and Lulu. If you use them both on the same ally, the indicators even line up and form a signal cool arrow, it's neat. Side Note: You can bond yourself to two different allies. I find that in the lategame I usually have Knight's Vow on the mid laner or jungler and Zeke's Harbinger on my ADC. -
For tower-dive comps, never forget the often-forgotten Ohmwrecker
. Pair this item with death-stallers like Bard, Taric, and Kayle. -
For you healers out there, listen up! The 10% shield/heal boost from Redemption
and Ardent Censer 
stacks with the 20% boost from Mikael's Crucible 
! This boost also applies to the shield given from Locket of the Iron Solari! If you manage to get a good Ardent/Redemption > Mikael's > Locket combo your team will literally be unkillable. With Windspeaker's Blessing, that's a 40% increase in shields and heals, not counting the lifesteal from Ardent Censer! Wow! -
Ardent Censer grants lifesteal now! Prioritize this item over Redemption (it's getting nerfed next patch anyway) on multi-healers like Nami, Soraka, and as a possible last item for Taric.
-
Eye of the Equinox
grants 10% CDR as of next patch, making it miles better than Face of the Mountain 
. -
Remember: Eye of the Watchers
is for damage supps, Eye of the Oasis 
for healers, and Eye of the Equinox for tanks. -
Zz'rot Portal
is back and better than ever when used with it's sister item Banner of Command 
! Since both items offer great resistances and movespeed buffs, pair these two with low-pressure supports like Soraka or Janna if you have room in your build. -
Some support abilities scale with Health! Taric's Q heal (Starlight's Touch) heals with a split HP/AP ratio! Braum's Q (Winter's Bite) deals damage scaling with his max HP as well! Keep this in mind when building!
-
Remember to cleanse CC with your Mikael's Crucible!
Have fun supporting!!!
