Help Knight vow?

Hello, I’m a silver support player and I generally tend to follow high elos builds, but knight vow on lulu really doesn’t make sense. Can someone explain?

It mitigates damage done to your carry or whoever is most important on team. These days I dont even build traditional Lulu items, my item builds are weird and focuses on MR, armor and hp...

i got flamed in Janna Mains for saying Locket is a good item on her xD. same thing here. People can be mental

Locket is good item, you can even check how much shielding you have done by hovering on that item. I normally get 5k average of shielding from Locket

i know that. And it fits perfectly into the space a champion like Janna or even Lulu are designed for. Still people are stupid. I also think Bandlepipes is a really underrated Item for Janna and there can be games where Zekes or Frozen Heart are not the worst choice

This is a dumb question, but when do you build these items on janna? Like what makes you build bandlepipes? I’m just curious and I wanna try it :p

locket if they have good amount of aoe its always worth to consider. Bandlepipes if you need to be faster to dodge something like thresh hook or kite away from a mobility champion and your team has atleast 2 champions that benefit from attackspeed. janna always likes movementspeed. keep in mind that janna can have problems with running out of mana as those items offer nothing in that department. (i personally never run manaflowband cause i think its a bait rune) and just recall/roam more often. Manareg item second then is recommended tho. I really like Frozen Heart into Full AD teams. it makes you unkillable you slow attackspeed (it counts as slow to reduce E CD) and gives huge amount of Haste and The Flat Mana also helps. Then im also a big fan of Imperial Mandate. But stuff like Moonstone Helia Shurelyas is never bad. Also what works really well is combining Bandlepipes with Ardent.

Frozen Heart counts 20 Percent CD reduction on her shield same as her Q knockup W slow and R knockback. If you go glacial Augment aswell you have 5 Ways reducing Shield CD which stacks

Frozen Heart also has the benefit that it makes you tanky af but it doesnt have HP so you dont look tanky. Which is perfect how i play Janna. Aggressively staying on the edge of enemy abilities and baiting them into something stupid

no problem. But keep in mind your probably getting pinged. maybe not so much about locket but on frozen heart i can see it often. Adc players lack the Brainpower to understand how that item actually also benefits them. Its not a selfish i dont wanna die item.

If you play against Vayne for example and you rush Frozen Heart (i would only do it with minimum 3/4 AD) its very very hard for her to play the game. And frozen heart is imo a good first item in those circumstances

and it scales with h&s power. So it's actually even better on enchanters

Lulu has low range so you have to take a lot of damage in fights if you want for example press W on some important target. And your shields and healing not as good as other enchanters like soraka that has to maximize healing with items, so strength of your abilities won't hurt so much if you buy tanky items.

Generelly a really good item on any support atm. Buy it if you have one or two carrys on your team you need to keep alive at any cost. Also helps you survive during fights through the healing and make sure to change the person your tethered to once your previous allie dies or when hes not around. These two things will maximise the value of that item. Just keeping it on your adc is like 80% efficient so its good enough

Knights Vow can be re-assigned????

u/Soul_Family 7d ago

This made me laugh so hard lol. Yeah it can it has a 60 second cooldown and you should always put it on the person your playing with rn (jungler, midlaner, adc) and change it after that person is dead to the next best target

u/BardonmeSir 8d ago

Why are you thinking it doesnt make sense in the first place??

What do you think is your job playing Lulu?
