Boots and later choices

Later candidates from the source, not a mandatory order or a validated six-item combination:

How to use this route

Your purchases should help you initiate or protect a teammate on a support budget. Judge a completed utility item by who benefits from it during the next fight.

When to change this build

If you are the only frontline, personal durability may be necessary. If an ally is being targeted while you survive comfortably, protection for that ally can be more valuable.

Enter your completed items and components in the build advisor before comparing the next purchase. Treat counter items as alternatives: buying every suggested counter can delay the core that makes your champion effective.

These are match results for the source sample, not lane-win probabilities or a prediction of your own game. Only rows with at least 200 games appear. Player skill, composition and patch changes can alter the result.

Does this also apply in ARAM or Classic?

No. This guide describes the listed Summoner’s Rift lane. Use the separate ARAM or Classic section in the interactive library for those modes. An alternative AP or AD route is not automatically a measured popular build.
