Greetings mates!

Last season I spammed Jinx and Caitlyn to Gold 5. However, playing support feels better for me. As of now, I've played Nami, Taric, Sona and Zyra support. I am wondering what is a good support(s) to play this season! I don't really enjoy the tank supports like Braum and Leona, but I attribute that to me just not playing them.

Some supports I have considered are Zilean, Karma, Lulu and Janna. Opinions? Recommendations? -Marilyn

Zilean is always fun, and bard :D bard is fun as AP or AD or tanky. Nami has been a personal favorite of mine for about 2 years or so now.

LeBlanc Is A Great Support, Her Damage Is Absolutely Busted Despite Her Not Being A Solo Laner... Able To Kill Fed Champs, While Not Being Fed Herself! It's Simply Ridiculous With How Much Burst She Has With No Items!

As a support player myself, I can offer suggestions.

But I have a few questions first.

  1. Do you prefer Melee or Ranged?

  2. Casters or Physical (melee and ranged)?

  3. Tanks or Squishy?

  4. CC or Utility (heals, shields)?

Janna with item 3107 and item 3190 PLUS her ultimate is honestly disgusting. No one on your team dies.

Janna is free elo and you can master her in 2 games.

IMO the necessary champions you should at least learn are Janna, Thresh, Nami, and Alistar. Covers all your bases pretty well besides damage and they're all pretty easy to pick up.

You can swap Alistar for Taric if you would rather have shields and heals than absurd tank power, he's not very difficult either and is very strong as a defensive pick.

I'd suggest Veigar actually Veigar Most supports I see are just brands or zyra's If zyra wants to put plants out then veigar can just farm ap off them and when he hit's level 6 he gets that ult that can kill people pretty easily or secure the kill off those annoying brands. His stun Is really useful for people wanting to 4 man dive as it can separate them and the 2 of you can pick them off.

Zyra every game i play with her i do 3x more damage to champions than our ADC lol

I suggest janna, karma, and nami as your main supports with others on the back burner for special team comps or to hard counter enemy teams.

Janna and karma are really always just the top tier for supports and a must have, nami is cosistently good and im partial to her because she has everything in her kit to help the team and adc out no matter the situation.

Thresh has always been a solid pick.

I know he's kind of intimidating, but for the most part his kit is pretty simple.

Give him a shot.
