What's a Good Support for a Silver V Player to Climb With?

Title says it all. I don't plan on playing support, but in the event I get forced into the roll, I want to be able to play a good champion. The supports I currently own are Alistar, Janna, Leona, Lulu, Soraka, Taric and Thresh.

If you're trying to climb, I'd suggest off-meta supports like Zyra or Brand. At low silver, both have options to pick up easy kills in lane and then scale incredibly well into late game.

I'd say Janna and Leona. You make your own decisions on both, provide a lot in lane on both, and don't have complicated things for your team to have to understand. Plus Blitz is really popular at lower elo and Janna has good movespeed to avoid hooks, and the tornado can help your inevitably hooked adc get back...and Leona straight up makes him cry.

To be COMPLETELY honest with you, I climbed from Bronze IV - Gold V by 'maining' Zyra support. Zyra support really lets you get kills, while also supporting your ADC. She is quite confusing to learn at first, but trust me, it's worth it. Good luck to you though ^-^.

The best support to climb with is the one you know how to play. Of the ones you listed there, most are pretty versatile and able to adapt to both passive and aggressive lanes. Only leo is pigeonholed into aggression and only soraka is pigeonholed into passivity (even though alistar is usually used for the hard engage, he can peelbot really effectively too with his W).

If you want to be able to get fed and carry, playing mage supports is the way to go, but you can achieve about the same degree of effectiveness in a game with traditional supports too. It really just depends on what your team needs.
