Seriously, if you don't play a lot of support/adc or are confused on how to play the role theses aren't easy supports to play. They are all in supports which require you to understand when to go in and when not to. Im not even upset that my supports generally go in way to much; its the fact that they don't go in enough. Perfect example is my last twitch game. There were plenty of times for leona to engage on karma and graves but she was to scared i assume so we got poked out of lane slowly. However, we hit six first so i was oh easy all summoners have been broken i stealthed up and ulted them together why leona just sat there at like 2/3 health. These supports are high skill FLOOR supports if you are unsure how to play supports play ones like morgana, blitzcrank, or thresh( yes high celling but low floor imo). Stay away from supports that require more botlane understandings

Personally, I find it perfectly easy to play Alistar as a peeling bodyguard as well as a massively tanky all-in initiator. And I don't even consider myself good at support. Zone, watch for junglers, don't get poked, sustain, and always be around somebody.

Leona I'll grant you.

For Alistar, he is easy to play defensively with. Just headbutt anything that gets near your carry.

Playing offensively is another story though.

First, that title is misleading.

Second, Alistar is actually very good for novice players, since his skills are fairly easy to use, and he's still a great defensive support. While playing him offensively can be difficult, a beginner shouldn't be playing like that with any champion, going on the offensive is risky and better reserved for people who know what they're doing.

i understand alistar but leona is very forgiving if u max her w first for the defense. u can usually jump in stun pop your w and run away. She is definately one of the easiest and most effective supports.

You are right. I should play Sona and Soraka who gets shit on by anybody for any mistake.
