Viable AD Supports?

Trundle?

Poppy is a pretty good support. That's the only real viable pick I can think of- the issue is the adc and poppy would likely have to build a Lot of armor penetration/shred.

My personal favorite, gives attack speed with his swag flag and has a compelling level 3 all in. Also synergizes with Vayne for free stuns after ulting. Basically an AD Leona with a targeted Zenith Blade. Good sustain and CC, along with countering Blitzcrank and Alistar very hard. More peel than Alistar while shutting down mobility ADCs like Lucian and Corki. Provides the same zoning threat as Blitzcrank with his E, but is pretty heavy with KSing. Doesn't start big teamfights very well, but sustains during ganks and makes picks. Synergizes with Kalista for both better peel and engage. All make good use of the health stacking that supports often get shoehorned into while bringing consistent engage and CC.

Sion can support pretty well and he has AD scalings.

But an AD support would be interesting.

Sion.

: Death is the best CC.

- These are your team's bouncers. Diving past these beefy guys is going to give an assassin a bad day. Their ults scale without gold too (Yorick's scales with your carries and Trundle's scales with the enemy tanks).

- These are man-mode Leona. Strong early engage to get snowballing and dominate the game. Also work well with to shred enemy armor and amplify the ADC's damage.

- These are your backup marksmen. Good poke and decent enough utility to function as supports. These scale up to become secondary ADCs for your team lategame.

My personal favorites are > > > in that order. Yorick is literally my favorite support out of all supports, not just for the sake of meta-breaking. These are all legitimately good picks if you get some practice with them. Trundle support has even had the highest support winrate in some recent patches.

SUPPORT MAY THE SPEAR OF VENGEANCE GUIDE YOU

Champions that build attack damage can't really support well. The reasons being, a support is supposed to enhance or keep safe their ADC, and another reason being that, in order to deal sufficient damage an AD champion needs items, but with no cs=no gold=no items=no dps.

All very viable :) +have you ever given AD a try? It's quite effective.

Don't worry about not stacking hp, he doesn't scale well into late game anyway. He's a lane bully up top, and he's a lane bully down bot.

as stated there are lots of viable ad supps, I used to main often go , and in skilled hands is great supp.

But Is king of AD supps. super tanky, great engage, cancerous early game, and crazy free physical damage scaling with hp, which means huge power from items like /

, though I tend to go tank

Is actually a really fun support. Now if we can only get Atma's back so he can have AD.

support is okay. Only did it once with a Kalista ADC because of a communication error, but it was okay. Didn't have to focus on farming, only poking the enemies and getting off silver bolt procs.

Hmm how about ?

Riot makes sure Zed is viable everywhere anytime

I believe the lack of conventional ad supports is due to the fact that your enemy could probably just stack armor items with double ad lane, and other than Corki, not many adc's have a lot of effective ap builds for the sustained fights their role requires.
