Preemptive Strike

Athena powers up for a dash. While dashing, Athena will pass through minions, stop and hit the first enemy god she encounters, dealing damage. If she hits an enemy, Athena gains a stack (max 3), reducing the next source of Basic Attack damage from any god that hits her. Athena may also gain these stacks by hitting an enemy god with Reach, once per attack.

Summary

This is a build I have continuous success with as Support. Although this isn't a traditional support build, it is rather effective. I am a Diamond Athena. Through it, I routinely achieve a Double-Double (double-digit kills & assist) but with enough effort, you may achieve the rare Triple-Double (double-digit deaths).

This build is meant to allow you to teleport on any teammate and assist with the kill or guarantee the kill.

Try it and let me know how it affects your Athena playstyle.
p.s. any comments or recommendations for improvements would be appreciated.
