Some dude was flaming me for building this item on Orianna. Here's the thing, Orianna is utility based and I have saved my tanks and carries multiple times with this item...
What do u guys think? On Champion.gg I see that this item build has the highest winrate as well.
Helps solve her mana problems, gives her more utility... I see nothing wrong with it at all.
I think people only realize that Athene's isn't an item for a raw mage anymore, and therefore just assume it sucks. If you're more of a utility mage or a support caster who can make use of the added passive on Athene's, then it's a lovely item.
I don't know about Orianna but i like it on Lux. It's awesome on Lux support. Also a must have in ARAM.
It makes them viable as supportive characters.
Depends. Also depends on what your role and lane is.
"I see that this item build has the highest winrate as well." I don't where you are getting this from. That seems to be not accurate, even on Champion.gg.
On a utility mage or a caster support it's still a good buy IMO. If you build it on Brand then expect to get flamed, but on any really any mage with a shield I think it's a great early sustain item with relevant late game power.
I would think it would be the best item for them, the guy flaming you was an idiot. There's no reason not to build it on those who can utilize everything from it.
