Anybody else try playing bruisers as supports vs tanky supports?

These bruisers Darius GragasIllaoi JarvanIV Maokai MonkeyKing are some of few that are really strong vs tanky supports, offering either insane counter engage or forcing the enemy to have to focus then as much as the adc. They are usually great peelers(save for Illaoi).

These are the supports they are best vs Trundle Sion Alistar Blitzcrank Braum Leona

These are the supports you should NOT PICK THEM INTO Lulu Janna Bard Zyra basically any support that is best at kiting and poking.

How did u put Darius and Illaoi in that list? They are completely useless on 2v2 lane. They dont have any gap closers, any engage, any disengage. They are completely gonna be ruined by those real supports

Illaoi I can see for the poke from her E. Darius maybe the pull? Maybe? I'm wondering more about Wukong, who doesn't have any cc at all until level 6 and isn't much of a bruiser since he's usually built full AD.

Wukong usually just is essentially a kamikaze. Does so much damage in lane. Not very supportish but if you're with the wrong support and your adc is someone like ashe it can seriously screw you over.

For bruisers i agree they are fine. I played support Pantheon, Wukong, Jarvan, Olaf and Rengar. But Juggernauts... hell no

I find when you pick a weird support champion like darius it fucks with peoples heads, and they dont know what to do.

I tired it before a few times, worked okay, lower ranks anyways

He wants to get engaged on, he's stronger when that happens and in solo queue people want kills only

What about poppyPoppy support

That is very good vs engages that use a dash. Screws leona, thresh, and adcs with dashes or mobility.
