Bulwark or Locket is all you need! For winning do the following!

Start: Rejuv Beads + wards + pots

1st Back: Avarice Blade or Sightstone + more wards.

after: Ruby Sightstone -> CDR Boots -> Bulwark/Locket -> BoRK -> IE -> Statikk.

Now you may be wondering: "The hell?" But. Even with just BoRK you can 1v1 their ADC if you are not insanely behind between your W, Exhaust, and other skills. Anyone else you can kite or outfight.

Now, Why? For me? Preference. I get insanely bored if I have to support as an Aura support. However, i love Lulu. Why don't I just go AP support then? Mostly because AAs wont drive me OOM and I can conserve mana for when I need to kite and protect our "real" ADC. Half the time the enemy team either ignores me (leading me to get multiple kills because they think I'm no threat), or they focus me over our ADC (who then proceeds to get multiple kills). I obviously try to defer kills to our real ADC whenever I can, especially in lane, but sometimes it's unavoidable.

Why Avarice as my GP5? Sometimes I do build a Philo too earlygame, but I don't tend to build it into anything, so all it really is is lane sustain since It's GP5 and sell value usually equal what I paid for it once I get rid of it. I tend to save mana for protecting my adc and securing kills, not so much for harassing. As such, I dont tend to need the philo's mp5. The enemy however certainly notices when my AA crits them and takes out a chunk of their health though. Also, out of all the supports I've played, Lulu is one of the best at CSing when your carry has backed and your lane gets pushed. The avarice blade helps here too. It is not very uncommon for me to have 20-40 cs fairly early on from last hitting.

Of course, I only do this when it isn't very clear what aura items I should build after Locket/Bulwark. If my team has 4 AD champs that benifit from lifesteal, then I build Zekes.

Still playing around with runes/mastries. Definitely a WIP.

Am I dumb for trying this out and enjoying it? Is it dumb that it is working? Probably, but It is definitely fun!
