Can I report my support for not building Ardent Censor first?

Honest question.

I get that people can be new, but this is almost like forgetting your runes and masteries. It's extremely tilting as an main to be at an Ardent Censor disadvantage.

Not building Ardent first?

I usually get flamed for not building sight stone first.

Nope. Ask them to build it, but you can't report for that.

They can build an infinity edge first if they so choose. As long as they're trying to win the game (which can be really hard to determine) they can build whatever they please.

If Riot were to force build paths then they may as well remove items all together. It'll be like Heroes of the Storm v3.

Blitzcrank I'll Braum be Leona sure Nautilus to Sion build TahmKench it Zilean first Zyra if I ever run into you in game. Don't worry, I'll also be sure to not use stoneborn pact, I'll use ancient coin, and I won't build locket or redemption just to make everything work more smoothly.

The sad thing is that with Stoneborn Pact, it's semi-workable.

you remember when every single support rushed redemption? that type of sad ardent isnt supposed to work well unless you have a kit that benefits from it.

Let the jungler tank, that's literally what they're there for. The role of the support is to make sure that the ADC is as strong as possible. That means buying Ardent Censor.

Junglers exist to secure objectives not tank. Is Ivern supposed to tank? Is Diana? Kha'zix? The role of the support is to support their team. If that means they have to go a tank they will go a tank, it's why Leona and Braum exist. Ardent Censor is an enchanter item, that means Lux, Janna, Karma, Morgana. Characters like Leona Braum, Zyra, and Malz and Blitz have no use for it.

Diana and KhaZix aren't viable. When was the last time either were picked in the LCS? Tank supports are not viable atm and are a waste of space, end of story. If you're not playing with the meta, you're basically swimming upstream without a paddle. And that stream happens to be Niagara Falls, the biggest waterfall known to man.

Diana isn't viable, Khazix is, he'll he's the third or fourth most played lcs jungler, Blitz and Leona arent very popular, but neither are most enchanters, he'll the only person who could use Ardent and are played lcs is Karma, and tank junglers, hell I can only think of 2 period, amumu and gragas, are virtually nonexistent, Ivern is way more popular and he IS NOT a tank. And btw Niagra falls isn't the biggest, not even top 10, not even top 20, that's Angel falls, which is 19 times bigger.

Diana is absolutely viable, you just need to pick her in the right place and then know when and where the enemy jungler is ganking so you can countergank pre-six, post six your ganks are scary and late game teamfights your ability to get on the enemy adc/support and kill them fast is really good.
