Support items - buying order and gold advantages

"Rushing" the third / last upgrade of a support item slows your power spike with others (Redemption, Zeke´s Convergence...) and the gold value of the stats are not really worth for slowing down your power spike because support items do give you great game-winning advantages.

Building the final upgrade is commonly used on the Korean server due to the advantage of being able to "hold" 4 wards at once because vision is there more important than on other servers.

They mostly upgrade Relic Shield to Remnant of the Aspect because it gives nice stats to a tank support and 200% hp reg and this is very important because Korean´s gameplay relays on staying healthy.

Upgrading coin and spellthief is rather uncommon but it still gets used if you need utility.

I could give you a more detailed comment if you want but I rather think that you want to know if you should use this in your solo q games.

Personally, I would say no but maybe you feel more comfortable when using it or if you really want to support your team with vision.

It may be a thought worth depending on the champs you play, on your strengths and on the currenty state of your game.

Hope I could help, have a nice day :).
