Best support so far this preseason

Thresh will always be the Lee Sin of supports with his kit that allows him to pick and choose which fights he wants or doesn't want. But Nami is like the Orianna of supports; incredibly balanced kit with some engage/disengage, cc for good wombo, a heal, speed ups/slow, and added burst to an adc through e... All without feeling overloaded because her kit incorporates them so well.

Paired with an ADC who has a strong early lanephase, or one who powerspikes like crazy midgame, she can absolutely wreck bot lane with her One-Person Wombo Combo Crowd Control Chain: Catch them with your E, follow up with a Q, Ult over them, and then tag the poor sucker with Exhaust and watch them limp away as your teammate guns them down . She also transitions well into late game but isn't an ideal lanemate for champions like Kog or Vayne, as she often pushes out farther than either of those ADCS can often afford to. Not the worst lanemate either, though.

Karma is annoying as hell to play against, which works in your favor as far as the mental-game is concerned. Best paired with ADCS who have strong burst-damage or a ranged form of hard CC (not Ashe though, tbh), her burst damage early on is some of the highest in the game and, by gutloading your runes/masteries/item build with as much AP, mana-regen and magic penetration as you possibly can, you can oppress the hell out of your lane opponents with your horrifyingly-strong skillshot nukes. EXTREMELY squishy, despite being a very good peeler/gap closer for your ADC. Boasts the strongest team-shield in the game, which also drastically buffs teammates' movement speed, has a huge radius, and can be used both offensively and to turn the tide of a fight that the enemy has initiated in your favor.

Depends on the team composition. I really like Janna, and Braum. Overall solid support choices.

Really depends on your play style but I have really been enjoying Zilean support. Another plus to Zil support is he is rarely ever picked and most people aren't used to seeing a Zilean support so they don't know how to fight against you.

bard is undisputed numero uno support

Thresh and leona for me. Would say kench is 'strongest' but he is permabanned in my elo. (gold)

Brand, Soraka, Nami, Sona, Nami.

These changes just made the heal or burst from them insane. Janna is up there also but very boring to play. Bard is without a doubt the funnest. He's just too reliant on teammates that know how to play with a bard.

Mantheon support. Only played by true men.

Zilean is good. in lane, you can punish people for standing near their minion waves.

Alistar is my personal favorite. He's the kind of support that can both towerdive and stop enemy towerdives with ease

Thresh is the best support. He might just always be the best support.
