This guy's damage is actually pretty hilarious for a tank. I went support Malphite, and I ended up going 12/9/22. In reality I shouldn't have been getting that many kills as support, but I usually use conventional supports who don't dish out as much damage as this guy here. Some people would think that he'd get poked hard and messed up in the early game, but with two points into Q and E at level 2 pretty much allows you to trade with the enemy by just walking up, unleashing your combo, and walking away with very little retaliation. If you do end up getting harassed a bit too much, Relic Shield is an amazing item.

My build was:(Keep in mind that the enemy was pretty AP heavy, Orianna, TF, Nidalee)

1.Abyssal Scepter

2.Locket of the Iron Solari

3.Ionian Boots of Lucidity with Captain Enchantment

4.Face of the Mountain

5.Sunfire Cape

6.Iceborn Gauntlet

I know I'm missing a Sightstone somewhere in this build, but I was in a mostly premade team where we were mostly trying to do things for fun, and it ended up working which was surprising. Boy, does this guy use mana though. I think I bought IBG first simply because I was OOM 24/7. This was a really enjoyable game though, and I was able to pretty much 50% the entire enemy team by myself which is pretty ridiculous as a support. I think I found a new main. He was pretty cheap too. I wasn't even going to buy him, but I remember one of my friends playing him support, and thematically, he fits well, stealing MS, reducing AS, hard CC. This is a pretty solid(pun intended) champ. :D
