Support itemization is pretty shitty and it's ruining games

Clint Orris··5 votes·500 views

The worst feeling in this game is getting autofilled into support and then getting bitched at when you don't rush locket and redemption.

I'm an avid Lulu player anyway and I love building, Athene's, Ardent, locket, talisman and it work pretty well for me. It's a pretty defensive build and it gives my adc a ton of clutch survivability.

With Lulu's ability to deal quite a bit of unnoticed damage during a teamfight, nobody expects the 250+ heal accompanied with a decent shield every 5-10 seconds along with on-hit damage, attack speed and life on hit.

But as soon as someone gets caught out trying to 1v3 its "gg lulu's build".

Since redemption's nerf I see a lot of people build it later. I build sight stone, Ardent Censer, Locket then maybe redemption.

I was never a fan of rushing this because the stats are so bad for a core item.

Before get an item just for the active, some stats would be nice. xD

Welcome to playing support. Ignore them.

Redemption is overrated in solo queue. Much much better in organized play

As a support main I think this is fine. It's similar to the build I also take on Lulu. I've never had people flame at me for not building one of those items though... and though I do rush locket, I don't actually rush redemption until mid-late game if we even get there... and maybe 30% I don't build it

I see nothing special about your build that could be taken as pretence to blame you for something. Is there anything unusual or is talisman already considered unusual by some people? xD

I mean, you should build Redemption over Athene's and Ardent anyway if you're asking me. Ardent can come after Redemption and Locket, but not before.
