Hey, all Afrodayt fans and all Aprho main players.
Now I know what you're all gonna say, that Aphrodite shouldn't be doing support because she's squishy blah-blah-blah, and if you wanna win, you should pick
Sylvanus or
Athena or go solo lane, but that's not the reason why I made this guide.
Aphrodite is a very versatile character. She can do almost any role (she shines the least in Jungle and Carry, I guess). Aphrodite is all about protecting her soulmate, and her
Smooching Kiss of Love is only at full power with a partner. She can still do the job of support, and for what she lacks in tankiness, she makes up for it with HEALING that come in ticks!
Cons of using Aphrodite as a support:
- very paper...
- needs very good positioning for the support role
- her stun has almost no effect as a CC.
- every other mage God has better damaging spells
- her spells are hard to land with, and have rather slow traveling speed making it easy to dodge.
Pros in using Aprhodite as a support:
- very, very nice sustain, probably the best reason IMO
- a very OP ultimate when activated just at the right moment
- doesn't require too high Magic Damage to sustain (thanks to
Rod of Asclepius
- skill mechanics are easy
- fun to use, being an damnsel-in-distress chick goddess. Gotta love it when seemingly underdog characters prove disbelievers wrong!

I agree with everyone's opinion: there are probably better items for an Aphrodite support.
You also haven't fixed your start yet.
Also your start is very bad. No health potions and way too many mana potions. If you want wards and potions that can be refilled I recommend this start: Guardian's Blessing, Chalice of Healing, Chalice of the Oracle.
This build is also way too squishy with not enough defense to be a support. I would get Rod of Asclepius 3rd or 4th instead of 2nd, and I would get rid of Gem of Isolation, Ethereal Staff and Shield of Regrowth.
Example Build 1: Shoes of Focus, Gauntlet of Thebes, Breastplate of Valor, Rod of Asclepius, Pestilence (if they have hardly any healing get bulwark instead), Spirit Robe.
Example build 2: Shoes of Focus, Lotus Crown, Sovereignty, Heartward Amulet, Pythagorem's Piece, Mantle of Discord.
