What type of support do you prefer?

As a support main I have always wondered what type of champions most adc's mains (or people that go adc from time to time) really like having as their support? and also, what do they really want and value in their laning phase? Do you like supports that just generally keep you alive so you can farm longer or do you like supports that go "ham" and try to get you kills?

And for support mains, (or people that play support a lot) what type of supports do you really like playing or prefer to play?

I generally like to play all type's or supports but i generally prefer the aggressive kill lane supports like i have friends however that prefer the more "traditional" like and even defensive supports like

I support main, so I'd like to hear some feedback too. It looks like, when it comes to pro games, it's almost always Aggressive Supports. Blitzcrank Karma Morgana Zyra

When I'm the carry? I don't know. It doesn't come up enough for me to actually think about (I don't ADC much). Usually I run through scenarios in my head and factor in both the support's skills with my own as well as the enemy's, and then I'll exploit whatever they end up doing. If the Blitz grabs someone and I'm Tristana, I'm already stacking up the damage on that bomb and preparing to jump on them like a Goomba. If Janna buffs me with her shield, I'm going to focus on the turret, the weakest or most dangerous enemy champion, or minions (in that order).

When I'm the support, I tend to pick whoever is more liable to cover up our shortcomings or compliment our strengths. Do we have a Lucian? I'll pick Braum. Do we need crowd control? I got Thresh, Braum, Lulu, Nami and Leona. Do we need a tank? Do we need a frontline brawler or a mage? What does the enemy team look like? From a support mindset, I prefer to be the last pick, because I get to see what everyone else is doing and plan accordingly, and the role of a support, above anything else, is to do what the rest of the team cannot.

supports with kill potential that scale nicely later on in to team fights. leona will always be able to chain her CC whether in lane or at baron, morgana will always be able to bind someone until they get reported for afk and so on. not too keen on sustain supports like nami or soraka since they're really nice in lane but they feel weaker in team fights.
