Overall builds can vary on each of them, especially where playing them, for me at least. For the most part they are pretty generic support builds.

Soraka item 3271 item 3092 item 2045 item 3800 item 3083 item 3065 For Soraka I tend to use a lot of AP, Health and Resistance based items. Having higher health/regen and AP will help when healing and of course the resistance for the protection. The spirit visage is the best for her though when doing MR as it allows your heals to be increased where as other MR items don't give her that benefit.

Nami item 3271 item 3092 item 2045 item 3222 item 3190 item 3056
For Nami it's just a pretty basic item build. Movement speed, AP, CC clear, MR, Other.

Janna item 3271 item 3069 item 3504 item 2045 item 3023 item 3143 For Janna I tend to use a lot of items that have a movement speed addition as the more movement speed she has the better off she is. This helps her roam about, getting in and out of battles, lane,ect when needed.

I'm going to be frank, I never see ardent censor on anyone above bronze. I don't recommend it, it's not gold efficient. In fact, I have an alternate suggestion for Janna that might be useful to you.

item 3284 item 3092 item 3190 item 3143 item 3222 item 2045

Not in that order, obviously, but I find this build to be much more useful. Considering her w boost, BOM is actually lackluster on her, wing boots coming out as the faster item. Twin shadows isn't bad, but if you're warding properly, it's not quite as needed. If they're running from you, you ought to be pushing objectives. If you're running from them, frost queen into tornado should be sufficient to deter basically everyone.

Only thing I disagree with on Nami is ohmwrecker. I think I've seen that item build twice, and once was by me trolling in a bot game. Not even bronzes use it. Get an omen instead. Make yourself invincible in fights, so you can keep laying down the heals and cc.

Raka's items may look funny, but it's actually a great build on her. She'll be able to heal for days with it, and frankly, it's better than my current build for her, on paper at least.

Hope between the two of us, this helps =)

Bronze don't know what to build, most that i see build straight damage on a support. I ton the other hand, find it quite useful and gold efficient. It gives off attack speed for your adc when you shield them, that that is powerful in her case because she is also giving them AD from the shield.

Many things have to happen for that to work as it sounds like it should. First, you have to get it early, which means you are squishy and lacking utility from items while you do that.

Second, you need to ALWAYS be with your adc, and ONLY use the shield on your ADC. In lane, this is easy, but in high level games, laning phase is over by 10 minutes, so you need to be roflstomping bot in order to even afford this item in that timeframe.

Third, you have to stay alive long enough to get more than one shield off.

UNIQUE PASSIVE: Your heals and shields on another unit grant them +25% Attack Speed for 6 seconds
UNIQUE PASSIVE: +8% movement speed
ABILITY POWER: +30
MANA REGENERATION: 10 mana per 5 seconds
COOLDOWN REDUCTION: +10%
TOTAL COST: 2200 gold
RECIPE: Forbidden Idol + Aether Wisp + 550 gold

This has NO hp. No Resistances of any kind. People will laugh over your corpse as they kill your ADC.

I strongly disagree with its use on Janna. She has a lot of peel, true. Because I know where that is going. But in such a mobility enforced meta, most people will be playing champs that can gap close after.

High level... that's funny coming from a Silver. You act as if you've been there.

Janna takes a lot of skill to pull off properly that's why she is listed as a high level champion. So, believe what you want but this item works wonders for how she is played.

i will quite often use item 3504 on my supports, usually with item 3190 so my entire team gets the AS boost. those two items have great synergy and work wonders on a support who is focused on heals and shields like janna, soraka, sona, nami, lulu etc....

Well, if you're going to get nasty over a simple disagreement, then yes, I have. I mod for a stream that has Diamonds that do free coaching, and frequently play with them and other gold+ myself.

No one in any of those games ever has built ardent censer. It may work for the way you play. But I'm telling you if you watch the Diamond games in the bottom of the client, you'll never see any Janna building that.

I was trying to give him differing advice. But if you would prefer to be a jerk about it, there's your answer.

Oh, btw, the signatures? She's a support main. I get to hear about supports an item builds, and we've had this discussion numerous times on the stream. People do ask about it. And get pretty much the same answers I gave you.

Sorry to burst your bubble. (Hah! Nami puns)

Someone is touchy.

Besides that's just one little stream... so yeah doesn't matter.

Also I've seen plenty of diamonds use it as it is the second most gold efficient item.

bye :)

Lol, item 3504 is the second most gold efficient item you can get, after item 3165 And that even before using the AS boost.

It's questionable on Janna and Nami though, because she can't use it all that often.

Soraka makes great use of it though. And Alistar has it permanently up on the entire team.

Many players take Spellthief's on Janna and Nami. The rest take Coin on all 3.

Traditionally, if you're getting camped hard you need to rush item 2049 If you're finding you are being left alone upgrade your gold income item.

Then build tanky and utility items like item 3190 item 3222 item 3143 item 3110 item 2045 item 3111 item 3117 item 3083 item 3050

core items for traditional supports item 3222 item 3190 item 2045

you don't have to get locket if your tank already has it I don't recommend ardent censer, it's like a really "materialistic" item IMO, like you'll probably only heal your ADC because it gives him AS buff, right??

Build CDR, HP on Soraka, because you can heal your team every 2 seconds using ur HP and that's OP if you have more HP. item 3069 item 3222 item 3190 item 3083 item 3110 That's just how I build her. ^

Duke AnaxDec 28, 20141 votes

oh god no, Soraka has %hp cost, HP does absolutely nothing for her heal. At best you live a bit longer when attacked.

But if you build AP and recharge with Starcall you live just as long and actually get some healing done.

Duke AnaxDec 28, 20141 votes

I can't say too much about the others, but for Soraka I usually go

item 2041 item 2049 item 3098 item 3009 item 3165 item 3157 then see what else fits the game

FantasySniperDec 28, 20141 votes

Their builds are very different, but I'll provide what I can. item 2049 is implied, and mandatorily rushed every game.

Soraka item 3069 or item 3092 , it really depends on preference, they are about equal. item 3028 item 3117 you're building nearly every game. item 3504 item 3023 , make a choice, both are good, but Shadows provides more safety. item 3025 may seem weird, but it provides CC you lack and makes rooting someone easier. item 3105 item 3065 are the only health items you're allowed to build besides SS.

Nami item 3092 item 3028 item 3117 practically every game. item 3504 item 3023 , again, make a choice. I heavily prefer Ardent Censer. item 3151 item 3116 are AP items you can consider later on in the game. item 3800 item 3060 are defensive items.

Janna item 3069 is in general better, your range is short and you have only one, obvious harass spell. item 3028 item 3504 item 3117 every game. item 3023 item 3151 are AP items you can consider later on in the game. item 3105 item 3800 are your defensive choices.

For any one of them, go ahead and get a item 3082 or item 2053 if you need armor.
