League of Legends: Top 3 very strong support gems but ignored by many gamers in version 10.17

1. Shield Bash

Top laners often use Demolish to earn extra money from destroying enemy turrets. However, you can’t always touch enemy turrets, so using the strong jade from the start of the game would be a much smarter choice. Shield Bash is an example, it’s extremely powerful for some generals specifically like Shen, Camille, Mordekaiser, even Tahm Kench in top lane.

This is one of the gem strong because it provides both defensive and offensive capabilities. Probably a lot gamer I’m used to using strong generals but ignoring “stubborn” champions, so I don’t use this gem. Remember that the top 2 champions are strongest in Master rank currently Shen and Camille, are also the most suitable champions for Shield Smash.

2. Cut Down

For some reason, people prefer Nhat Chem An Hue and Don Ha is not used too much. Nature of gunner general is to deal damage over time, suitable for powerful runes that can increase this stat. Meanwhile, Favor Slash only deals extra damage to low health targets. If you encounter champions with strong resistances, it’s almost useless because you don’t have enough damage to put the enemy in danger.

Instead of wasting a rune on Favor Slash, you should use Downfall to deal extra damage. There are now a lot of mage items that provide extra health, which means that the effect of Doomsday will always be active no matter who you attack. It’s time for gunner players to change their habits, use Downfall instead of Slash of Grace.

3. Approach Velocity

Surely many gamers will be surprised to know that this type of gem exists in League of Legends. The reason is also understandable given that so few people use Approach Velocity. It will give you movement speed when near slowed enemies and also increase movement speed by 15% if that slow is caused by you. Basically, this gem will increase your ability to pursue your target, ensuring your enemy can’t escape no matter how hard he tries.

The perfect champion to use Approach Velocity is Ashe. With her ability to slow so much in her passive and her W ability, it is almost impossible for enemies to escape when she touches them. Besides, champions who use Glacial Augment playstyle are also suitable for this powerful gem.​
