There is a hard line to draw for cupid. You need to be hitting enough autos to have your stun ready to go, but you arent going to do much damage with your autos. You want some attack speed and mostly support items.

Gameplay
A lot of cupid support is making sure your passive is stacked up. You will pull a lot of aggro because people will assume youre an easy kill. Use this to your advantage. Your 1 has a good slow that winds into a very telegraphed stun for easy team follow up damage. Your 2 can be thrown for healing and buffing allies or to try and poke depending on whats needed. The lockdown cupid can put out with his 1 and ult is pretty significant. Look for aggressive plays with the 1 or ult and chip away at gods with your autos from range then sustain up your poke if needed.
Conclusion
Cupid is a weird little dude in the support role. He is definitely not the strongest, but he can be a lot of fun with 2 different heals, 2 slows, 2 stuns, and a couple stims. Give it a shot and flutter your way to victory
