Jhin Support Itemization

TL; DR Hubris, Voltaic Cyclosword, or Umbral Glaive as first item for Jhin support?

Hey guys, quick question about items for Jhin support. I’m pretty much a Senna OTP and I main supp/ADC. I haven’t really found another support I want to play but I quite enjoy Jhin as an alternative pick to ADC when Senna is picked/banned. He has a very similar playstyle as a utility style marksman with low attack speed but chunky autos and utility. I’ve seen Jhin support videos online and know he’s even been picked at the pro level so I want to try him as my alternative support pick but I’m confused as to what I should do first item.

I plan to use Jack of all trades and want a lethality item first that I can build into RFC to max my JoaT stacks for some extra early AD. I’m stuck between Hubris, Voltaic Cyclosword, and Umbral Glaive. I know Hubris is a very popular item in the ADC role for Jhin and it can easily transport over to support since it’s cheap but it’s recent nerf makes me unsure of if it’s the best item. Voltaic Cyclosword’s recent changes make it appealing to me because the energized effect procs not only on autos but abilities to which is nice. Last is Umbral, which would’ve been my choice but it’s recent changes to the passive make it more questionable since Jhin can’t reliably proc the unseen passive, the only real way I can think of doing it is autoing from a bush. With that said, its vision controlling passive can still be crucial. What would be the most optimal item from these three to rush as support? Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

Also, I know Jhin isn’t necessarily a crazy meta support pick but I also like to have fun when I play and I enjoy Jhin. Telling me not to play him support isn’t going to change my mind so if that’s all you have to say I’m just going to ignore it lmao

Hey guys, fellow support main here. My main is Senna and I would describe myself as being attracted to unique, out of the box picks. This is what brought me to play Senna because she’s very unique as a marksman support hybrid. I’m looking to add another champion to my pool and I’m stuck between Bard and Ivern. Both are extremely unique, Bard having a playstyle that no other champ can really replicate while Ivern has the flexibility to be a flex pick and confuse enemies. Who would be a better inclusion to my champ pool between the two? Is Ivern support a troll pick? Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

TL;DR Should I add a third champ into my current champ pool of Pyke and Senna for ranked climbing? If so, who? If not, why?

Hey guys, looking for advice from fellow support mains. I’m mostly a two trick, playing Pyke and Senna in all my ranked games. I recently hit platinum last season and was wondering if I should look to include another champion in my pool or not? Pyke is my blind pick champion and I’m quite comfortable with him, and I often play Senna as a counterpick, flexing both AD and enchanter as needed. I want to lock in for ranked this season and climb as much as I can, I’m just unsure if I should add a new champion to my pool. I could see picking up a tank like Rell or Tahm Kench being useful, or maybe experimenting with a different enchanter? Or even a mage support since I play ADC as my secondary role. If Senna gets picked or banned when I’m off roled and I don’t have an extra champ (like a mage) I’d be screwed lol. What do you guys think? Any advice is appreciated!

Hey guys, simple question really. I’m a Pyke/supp main but I play ADC as my secondary role and especially with friends (as my friend is also a supp main but won’t switch lmao). I’m looking for an ADC champ that has some mobility and I’ve landed between Tris and Kai’Sa. As someone who enjoys playing Pyke, who do you think would fit my playstyle better between Tris and Kai’Sa? Any input is appreciated, thank you!
