Aphelios

Extreme

Aphelios has 5 guns and a good Phel player knows exactly how to counter you with them. His long range gun (green, Calibrum) makes him able to poke you from long range so don't go near him when he has it up, it is better to farm from far with Q while staying behind minions. His heal gun (red, Severum) gives him a lot of sustain early on lane and has a very good ability that pretty much fully procs Conqueror for him. Nothing special to do about it, you can farm and play normally but when he uses the ability, get out of the cone with your E so he can't proc Conqueror/PTA. If Phel has Fleet Footwork, this gun shouldn't be too hard to play against but he has even better sustain with it. His root/slow gun (purple, Gravitum) slows enemies whenever he attacks them and the ability of the gun is to root all the enemies he has attacked shortly. It is really hard to play against Aphelios when he has this gun up as you can't win him in auto attack fight and that is exactly what this gun gives him. Don't fight when he has this gun up, he will win every time unless he doesn't have his support with him. His shotgun (blue, Infernum) makes his auto attacks deal damage to enemies behind their targets which is very good for poking safe adc's like Ezreal. The secondary damage to champions is surprisingly high so you shouldn't go to your minions when he has it up as he will punish you for it. The gun doesn't deal too much damage for you but has a great wave clear so you shouldn't leave Aphelios alone when he has this gun up. His crazy ninja weapon (white, Crescendum) gives his attacks bonus damage for chakrams that he gets from abilities that use Crescendum (pretty much every one of them). His attacks also ricochet back from enemies after hitting them and he can't attack again after they have come back to him. Don't go close to him when he has this ability up as the ricochets give him enormous damage is he is close to you. Overall Aphelios has five weapons that all have their own way of countering you. Play safe against him, there is no point of trading against him as he often plays with cc supports that could make your life really hard.

Lux

Ideal

Lux has an incredibly strong kit, that's why I very often refer to her as "the most op champion in the game". Your damage combined is too much for nearly any adc in the game. A good Lux can also keep her guard up at all times which makes your survivability very good compared to normal support. Her shield can also save you from a lot of pointless deaths

Champion Build Guide

Hi, I am Support_diff. Don't let my name confuse you, I have mained every role during my gaming career, support is just the role with the playstyle that I like the most. I saw that there wasn't any "complete" guide for , so I decided to create one. Hopefully you read the whole guide and learn something new, if you have something to ask, feel free to dm me, I am just happy if I can help someone!

✔ Very fun to play
✔ Safe farming
✔ Can be blind picked
✔ Scales well

✘ Not very good in early game
✘ Depends on hitting your skillshots
✘ Not good at killing tanks
✘ Needs lots of time to master

is a must for most of the champions on the rift, and is one of them. Some people think that you don't need it as you already have , but that definitely isn't the case. Though has a really good mobility with , he can't escape easily with it if the enemies have any mobility or if he has already used it before in the fight.

is a the standard second summoner spell for most of adc's, and isn't different in this case. gives you a ton of survivability early and the movement speed it provides also helps you secure kills as enemies won't escape as easily. It isn't the only option for second summoner spell, but it is definitely the most popular one.

is first of the two less popular options for second summoner spell I'm covering here. Though is nearly always a better option, has it's own place and it fills it well. It is great when the enemies have very heavy early damage/poke that will make you recall often early as you will get back faster so you don't get behind in xp/cs. It is also better later than as it helps you splitpush and get into teamfights faster if you would otherwise miss them.

is the second summoner spell that isn't so often picked as . If possible, it is even more unpopular choice than . It should only be taken against hard cc as otherwise it is just useless. It will save you from a lot of pointless deaths against champions like that provide more than enough cc.

and are the only keystone options from . They are also the most popular keystones for . They both provide you a good amount of damage. I personally prefer as it provides you a good amount of bonus damage in longer fights. is also great for longer fights, it is really just up to you.

alternative options

is one of the best runes for from the rune tree as it gives you a lot mana during laning phase and later in the game though provides you enough mana in the middle/late game so you don't really need it then, but it is still by far the best option out of the three.

alternative options

is the best option here for as it provides you life steal, which is a great source of healing in longer fights. You also need it more than you need tenacity or attack speed as you mostly deal damage with and not your auto attacks and the enemies shouldn't be able to cc you as you have .

alternative options

Here you have two options in the tree, and . They are both very good choices, but there is something you have to understand. doesn't generally have high max health, so is a really good option as it provides extra damage against nearly any champion. However, sometimes the enemy team has many champions with low health like you, which makes a lot worse. You may also build a tanky build or just some items with health, so you can also make the rune worse by yourself. If that is the case, you should consider building as it works against any team comp with any build.

alternative options

is one of the two basic adc secondary runes which I use nearly every game. It is basically just free boots that you get after some time, it is really good as you don't have to focus buying boots early with it. However, if the enemy bottom duo has hard skill shot damage champions like or , it is better to take another secondary page as you will need the boots as early as possible.

alternative options

is the other basic secondary rune for any adc. It, like , makes you a lot stronger early and for surviving the laning phase is a goal you aim for, after that you are pretty strong even without kills if you have a decent farm. provides you a lot mana early and also works well with as it provides you bonus max mana.

alternative options

is one of the starting items that are very popular among players and it is not wonder why. It provides you a lot health and damage so you can adapt to both aggressive and passive play style early. It also gives you omnivamp which is great as you are going to heal a lot with your .

is my favourite starting item for as it feels like an investment to the middle/late game as with it you can easily turn your into early. With it you also won't run out of mana as it provides you a ton of it. Though it doesn't provide you any health or attack damage it is still a very decent choice especially if you build lethality. However, if you are not going to build , it is totally useless.

is an item I very rarely buy with as it isn't too good in anything as it doesn't scale as well as (even though it is its whole point), it isn't as good in healing as . Of course that doesn't mean that you couldn't buy it, it just isn't as good as the others (in my opinion).

is the most aggressive starting item for as it only provides you attack damage. It has a somewhat low price, but it isn't as good as it used to be as it provides less attack damage now for the same price. The good side is that you get the most attack damage early and you can buy both or three s.

are the main boots choice for as they provide you a nice amount of ability haste that would be good for a full price item. They are not situational, so if there is no reason to buy the other options, always buy .

are the first of the two situational boots options for . They are good against hard attack damage or if the enemy team has many auto attack based champions. If the enemies don't have hard attack damage, they are pretty much useless to you.

are the second of the two situational boots for . Like are good against attack damage, are good against hard magic damage and crowd control. Again, if the enemies don't have magic damage or cc, they are completely useless.

is the most popular first item option for with its great passive using and good attack damage and ability haste stats. It works extremely well with as it procs 's passive. It is by far the most popular option for first item right now, and it isn't hard to see why.

is the other first item option for , even though it isn't even close to in popularity. It is a very expensive item that is basically providing you with 's passive with another passive that is similar to 's passive, but I still wouldn't suggest buying it, maybe against an enemy team comp with a lot of assassins as it a bit tankier than .

is one of the best core items and items overall for as it provides your abilities much bonus damage and makes you able to use abilities all the time without running out of mana. It is even better if you start with as it makes the transformation from and a lot faster.

is one of the items that were moved from mythic items to normal items in the start of season 14. It has a great passive that makes it easier for you to use your abilities a lot in fights, which is really important as .

has become one of the most popular core items for , and for a good reason. The slow it provides makes it a lot easier to target an enemy with your . The ability haste and armor penetration it provides are also very good.

is one of the newer items on the rift, but it has gained a lot of popularity, also among players. It has two passives, that both help as the first one provides you ability haste, and the second (better) one provides you extra damage for spells hit, which works really well with .

is by far the most underrated item for as it provides you a really good amount of ability haste, survivability and a great passive that has a perfect synergy with as you will hit the enemies many times with , and during a fight. You really have to try it, it is also part of my off-meta tanky build.

isn't as good for as but it has a really nice synergy as its passive works on too and the stacking passive fits well to your kit as you won't die a lot at any phase of the game. It also provides you a great amount of stats.

is a good item for every game, but it is a bit situational. Its main point is to save you from burst damage as it literally revives you, but it is also good against attack damage as it provides you some armor. If the enemies don't have attack damage or burst damage, it is better to buy something else.

is one of the most situational items in the game as its only point is to provide you armor and counter attack damage champions. If the enemy team doesn't have hard attack damage, don't build it. It also works well with as it provides you a good amount of mana.

is like but just against magic damage. Like , it is pretty much completely useless if the enemy team doesn't have hard magic damage. However, if they do, it is a really good item that can save you from many situations.

gains increasing attack Speed each time he successfully hits a spell, stacking up to 5 times. This is a great for as with his it isn't hard to stack the passive. As you can see, there isn't an ability video for this passive, sorry for that.

fires a damaging bolt of energy which reduces all of his cooldowns slightly if it strikes an enemy unit. is the ability is the most known for, it is basically a skillshot with a very low cooldown. It is a very good farming tool as you can last hit the minions from far with it so the enemies can't attack you.

fires an orb that sticks to the first champion or objective hit. If hits an enemy with the orb, it detonates and deals damage. This ability is great as it deals really good damage and isn't too hard to detonate with or . It is a great combo starter early as it can go through minions and you can also use it to turrets.

teleports to a target nearby location and fires a homing bolt which strikes the nearest enemy unit. Prioritizes enemies stuck with . This is a great ability because it is basically a that deals damage and has a 10 second cooldown. It provides a great survivability as nearly no melee champion can kill you when you have and up.

winds up before firing a powerful barrage of energy that deals massive damage to each unit it passes through (damage is reduced for minions and non-epic monsters). It has an infinite range meaning that you can finish off low health enemies from other lanes which isn't actually very rare as especially in mid lane the fights often are very even.

is the basic trinket for and generally any adc in the game. It helps you track the enemy jungler, keep your vision score up and help your team secure objectives. It is the basic trinket option and you should basically take it every game. It provides you a vision on an area for 90-120 seconds based on your level.

is the second most popular trinket option for though it isn't even nearly as popular as . When used, it reveals traps and wards around you for 10 seconds. Wards will also be disabled, lingering for two seconds after no longer being revealed. It is great against champions like but you shouldn't really buy it in my opinion, is just better.

is a weird trinket, to be honest, I don't really think it should exist. It makes you able to reveal an area from a really long range, they don't count towards the ward limit and last forever if not destroyed. They also have a lower cooldown than . It works well if you have to reveal an important area like the dragon pit, but I think it is mostly useless.

is the most valuable trinket in the game. It costs 75 gold, but is definetely worth the price. They reveal area like , reveal s and traps and disables them like and last forever like . You can place them in important areas where you need vision to like river bushes, or put them to other places with a high probability of having an enemy ward nearby to reveal them instead of using (dragon pit for example). I suggest you to buy one or two of them every time you go back to base as they are a really important source of vision.

The pink ones are s

I hope that you started off with , so I write this assuming that you did. In the early game your main goal is to keep your farm up while not dying. Additionally, you have to try to stack your by using on the enemies and the minions. It is a great farming tool as you don't have to get close to the minions to kill them. Don't play aggressively if you aren't facing a really easy matchup like . You should be able to poke the enemies with so it would be easier to win a fight against them when it is the time. Remember to ask your jungler for a gank if you need it.

In the middle game starts to be really strong. You have now got your first item which is a great powerspike for . You have also probably stacked your , so you should definitely build as it gives you a really good powerspike. In the middle game, you can play more aggressively but always keep in mind that you are really squishy and bad positioning can get you easily killed. Help your team with objectives, keep your vision and farm up, that is pretty much everything you can and need to do to be a better player than the vast majority. I won't be covering late game separately here as it is basically just middle game but you have more items.
