What is the absolutely best support of the game?

Imagine you are allowed to create your own team but you have to pick one support champion for the rest of your league-life. So you can only play with this supp champ in your team forever.

What champion do you pick and why ?

i feel there is no such thing as the BEST MOST OP SUPPORT IN THE WHOLE f%%%%%%% GAME. i feel its situational/synergy related with a dab of skill/spice.

Nami Her passive is really strong, especially matched with a Draven for instance. Knock-up/stun +ally MS boost if it hits them as well. Healing/damage +ally MS boost ally damage/slow on hit +ally MS boost ult that takes up half the lane that slows/knocks up enemies. +ally MS boost

You can build AP for fun or utility for tree-hearding. Nami Tank can be fun as well.

If I had an IQ higher than a chimpanzee I'd probably say Nautilus/Thresh, but I can't make those big LCS plays.

I would second Nami, since she's one of the most adaptable supports.

She can disengage well, she can heal, she can engage well, and she can actually deal some solid damage, particularly in the early and mid game.

I'm also M7 with her, and have experimented heavily (with pretty good effect) with a Hail of Blades build that makes her very aggressive early, and able to out-trade and win in some matchups even outside of the support role, without sacrificing too much of her support potential (this actually makes her engage potential stronger, as her E slow and full damage is more consistent when she uses it herself, and with Revitalize/Font of Life, you're still marking your target and allowing your allies to heal.)

She's just a super good all-rounder that you can use in many ways. Whereas with Pyke or Thresh: you make the play, or you're pretty much worthless.

For me, I would pick Pyke for some reasons :

He's an assassin (favorite role)
His abilities are nice, I wish they just got nerfed a little bit not making him support only, I used to play him jungle.
He's useful for the team as a carry/Support. And he got cc.
He can go 1v2 in botlane.

If im not playing it; katarina. The only players who play kat support are master tier + smurf kat mains.

If im playing it? Teemo or Ezreal. Really good at making the enemy hate their life, even if we lose.

I may be a leona main, but leona is too easy to pick into.

Velkoz he's the champ I'm best at, and as of yet have not found an elo where team comp is more important than skill on a champ.

If I were starting fresh, assuming no skill difference, probably nami or alistar tho.

I agree with you.

If it's for competive I think it will be Alistar . Since meta shifts and nerfs happen all the time their is not a single carry support you can risk to remain playing. When support role is overnerfed only tank & enchanter remain viable. Since tank supports have more carry potentional you are forced to pick a tank. If it's a team for solo Q than Zyra my friend.

Poppy

Quite a safe supp to be honest. You will not excel with a lot of assists but she can easily prevent of cancerous champs to snowball out of control. Your carries will love you and the protection you offer.

A bad adc that only relies on his supp to get kills in lane will hate you however because it's not easy to use Poppy's strengths in a ranged duo lane that doesn't make much positional mistakes.
