Since not one person responded to my thread last time it is now take 2.
I am looking at Leona, Braum, Janna or Blitzcrank for best support. My criteria are the following in descending importance
*Must be able to win lane (whether by outplay or just in general dominance so it's easy to do) *Must scale well as in can teamfight (not like teemo's crap teamfight excluding mushrooms) *Must be well known champion that dumb adcs can still work with.
Leti the Yeti2 votesI'm more worried about the support's intelligence rather than the adc when it comes to Blitzcrank so I'ma rule him out
Leona and Braum requires balls...may not synergize with stupid adcs or adcs without balls
Janna can save fuqing anyone so lets go with that ;l
Sightless662 votesLeona is the simplest to dominate a lane with so long as you are willing to fight. If you get ahead with her, she'll do very well in teamfights by just engaging whenever someone gets a bit out of position. If you get behind, you'll have to play it very smart, and either peel well or support other champions when they make plays. At the very least, the ultimate can always be useful.
Braum is a bit harder to win lane with than Leona, but he's still perfectly capable of winning a lane. He is more defensively focused, taking damage for his teammates. His engage suffers, but his peel is stronger and his shield can provide invaluable utility.
Blitzcrank is a mixed bag. You can win a lane against a lot of people just because they get scared of Blitzcrank and play dumb. Grabs can also let you burst someone down quickly. However, Blitzcrank has shitty sustained fighting, he's worthless if you miss hooks, he's worthless if you get behind in lane, and he's very easy to bully and punish. Out of lane, all your value is in making good pulls. You have nothing else particularly strong going for you. In order to be good at Blitz, you'll have to be great at pulling and good at map rotation. He's easy to be bad at.
Janna is very different. You won't be winning lanes with her unless you are good with her or your ADC knows how to play with her (and many don't). You can win lanes, but it's not braindead. Later on, you are the strongest peeler in the game. That is a lot of teamfight value. Just don't ult enemies to safety by accident.
Xela Syab2 votesBlitz is good to feed your carry so is leona, Janna can seige well and protect turrets, braum is in a bad place right now he can't carry games since the current meta is assassins not poke. Honestly if you want a sup that can carry a game you should go shen, malphite, volibear, or trundle. They are strong all through the game, good objective control, good damage, they hard counter most op champs and have alot of cc and can tank crazy. Sona used to carry but she keeps getting nerfs, soraka is good if your carry is good, zyra is good for poke and wombos, Morg can make your lane ungankable if she plays decent. Lulu and nami are meh right now. lulu is all poke and nami is really skill dependant and her mana costs are crazy. Shen counters most tanks, assassins, carries, and mages with his cc sustian q and his clutch save. Volibear is great for baiting fights and finishing off weak opponents. Malphite can shut down alot of damage and has heavy initiation, Trundle (my fav sup) can actually freeze lanes from towers with his e has infinite sustain with a carry can shut down most bruiser/assassing comps and he refreshes on camp kills and drag. THAT ALL SAID THRESH BEST SUP LOL can't beat bringing your team into a fight when ccing the enemy carry with a lucky hook.
Reikrak2 votesI would say to go with Leona. I've carried some really bad adc's playing as Leona. You have tankyness, you have so much cc, you have engage to go for the kills, you have disengage to protect teammates. As for the laning phase itself, you have control since the begining and you can carry most lanes easily. As Leona you're a bully, go win.
WafflesTheEpic2 votesThe first criteria you're looking for is on you not the champion.
Leona and Braum are both very good pick for good laning and teamfights. I would probably put Morgana in there as well for that black shield and roots. And maybe Nami if you're good with her.
SeargentAnus1 votesJanna-Poke/Siege Comp (Can also work if they have a dive comp that's reliant on one engage) Blitzcrank-Pick comp, meant for high burst comps. Leona-Pick comp, meant for high burst comps. Slightly tankier and can eat more damage for carries. Braum-Heavy tank, good for sustained fights.
Alljoy1 votesBetween Janna and Braum, going by your requirements..
Must be well known champion that dumb adcs can still work with.
..I'd say Braum?
jwf9991 votesBlitzcrank, all the way. winning lane: lane q's on adc/supp and bring them to your tower+knockup
Siyther1 votesi would say morgana
