finding your support champion and being prepared for the inevitable autofill

resumed··215 votes·10,888 views

not included are champions with a less than 1% playrate for support position on champion.gg

the most important part of league is having fun however people dont like getting autofilled but i believe there to be a support champion that can fit EVERY playstyle so i made this while waiting for something to download because why not http://i.imgur.com/PMapBQK.png

Did we just kinda forget about it or did something happen?

Something something, pick was fine, he was an ass so was his teammates. Communication and all that jazz which is kinda non-existant unless you include pings.

Yes-Jinx

No- Any Marksman etc.

If you are a mid-lane main and ever get autofilled to ADC, just play Ezreal or Jhin. Ezreal and maybe Lucian are the closest to caster ADCs, and Jhin just cause you don't need to stutter step a lot.

RocketRelm4 votes

I can attest. I'm a Mid Primary, and Jhin Ezreal are my primary picks.

With a little slice of Lucian when he's in meta, and MissFortune because Dat rack Ult is so big.

No - Teemo

You underestimate the power of ADC Teemo...

Probably because it sucks, but that's besides the point ;)

Stephenizgod1 votes

-guy picks Teemo ADC- "Don't worry am Teemo main"

-goes 0/10 in lane against Cait- "Wow Rito bs champion, Teemo is so bad now"

-we win game and they are 45/10- "am Teemo main"

Avios11 votes

In reality though, Teemo is probably the worst champ to take into Cait, simply because of the range.

He works well vs Vayne though.

In reality, Teemo is a terrible champions to pick in general :P

I do that. I play urgot ADC when my teammate bans my pick. I like urgot it's not totally a troll thing but at the same time he's certainly not my best ADC or in my top 3. I play him more top than ADC.

Sexualsaurus3 votes

i got lvl 6 urgot lol, if anyone in my team bans my champ deliberately, i just lock in urgot. That'll teach them for being jerks, i still try hard and have okish success with him.

Wanna play passive af ?

Caitlyn : Place your traps in the middle of the lane and ignore the enemy botlane. Farm till 20 and then win game. EZ. Having a Soraka support you helps.

Hate using the keyboard ? No problem.

Twitch, Jinx: Right click your worries away. Like seriously, late game, turn auto attack on, and go make tea or some shit. After you made your tea, as long as your team isn't losing, you would have won the team fight.

Hate using the mouse ? Are you a mid laner who got auto-filled to ADC? No issues

Ezreal, Corki and Jhin. No need to stutter step and no need for that pesky right clicking.

You want to have some interaction with the enemy but at the same time not too much ?

Ashe MissFortune Tristana

I'm sorry do you want to confuse your team mates ?

Varus, Urgot Who is he ? Like wtf does he even do ? Don't even bother hovering your mouse over him.

Are you stuck in season 6 ?

KogMaw

Are you stuck in season 5 ?

Kalista

Do you like outplays ? Do you like true damage ? and do you like being a piece of shit ?

Vayne: Vayne is just so easy to play. Make sure to ask for wards even if your support is out of sightstone charges. Dive into a 1 v 2/3/4/5 and ping your team when you die. Remember, every death in laning phase is your supports fault. Also, every misplay is due to a bug or lag. It is not possible for you to be outplayed. (Real talk though, I have met some amazing Vayne players who carried my ass through games, and were extremely nice too)

Do you like Draven ? do you like bullshit early game damage ? and do you hehe xd ?

Draven Seriously, as long as you can catch your axes, your Q does bullshit amounts of damage. Not recommended though, he is insanely hard to just pick up and play.

Do you want to lose game ?

Saewin5 votes

Lux and Sona support main. I'll cry with you.

Saewin6 votes

Is Lux support really that useless, though? I'm a support main and I honestly feel it's not bad, just the people that play it are. I play it now and again and I have peel, shield, practically undodgeable poke and an ult to steal secure kills with. I feel like it's pretty good, but it gets hate because the people that play it haven't discovered Sona a better support and don't know how to use her properly.

Annie is useless in bot tho

Oakleaf Ranger11 votes

I mean in theory it she sounds good for support, but in reality its bad. She needs the gold and levels of a mid laner to actually do most of those things well. Otherwise the lack of AP really starts to show in her weak shields and damage. Basically if you haven't gain some sort of lead in early game, your usefulness starts to go downhill exponentially compared to other supports.

Ravenhale5 votes

It's not useless. She's my fourth highest played support. The only real issue I think she has is that Morgana does most of her support job better (my second highest played support).

And I don't get the remarks on Annie (third highest played). She's hard engage/disengage. You will thank that Annie that obliterated the Master Yi, WuKong, Xin Zhao, Yasuo, etc. that jumped on the group thinking it was their time to shine. If you have a good grasp on how to support, you'll quickly figure out how to utilize Annie from a support perspective.

Oakleaf Ranger1 votes

The nerf to her aa range really hurt her power as a support and there was something else as well. I still think she is good to learn the support role with but there are just other supports who do her job better.

Ravenhale4 votes

I didn't start playing her a lot until after I had put quite a few games in as Janna, Lux and Soraka. I found her more effective to deal with Yasuo and Master Yi than trying to save everyone with Janna and Soraka. She's become a very niche pick since she doesn't have a whole lot of favorable lane matchups.

I think Annie is most comparable with Sona, but Sona can be scary to play as. When I die as Annie, it's usually because I did something stupid. Sona... I probably just walked in sight of a champion and they decided to kill me. There are seriously some games where I feel like leaving base is Intent Feeding with Sona. Nami feels like the better choice overall, even though her CC is less reliable.

Just because you don't know how to play lux support, she's not useful? lul

Hello I am Bird7 votes

Just about anything she can do, Morgana can do better besides damage which she requires more items than other supports to achieve. Her double snare is about the only thing she has going for her in terms of utility, other than that, morgana does a lot better.

notice me Sin pi3 votes

tho far from utility, Lux 's 550 aa range is definitely better than Morgana 's 450 aa range. I personally rely heavily on aa for harrass in lane as support, n find myself doing better with Lux support than Morgana.

Of course, i have under 50% winrate for both champs as support.

Zelorxon1 votes

That chart is a little bit wrong and here's why:

-Lux isn't a support i'm fucking tired of repeating myself all the time since season 3 -Annie is a top tier support -Thresh isn't a hard engage support AT ALL, consider him an utility support like bard. Also when going thresh take thunderlords as 45% cdr gives you a Q of 5 seconds of cooldown Talisman on thresh is better than the targon thingy

For everyone still in doubt these are the currently acceptable supports.

Alistar Annie Bard Blitzcrank Brand Braum Janna Karma Leona Lulu Morgana Nami Nautilus Sona Soraka TahmKench Taric Thresh Trundle Zilean Zyra

Borderline trolling supports but if he knows his shit it might work.

Rox tigers-tier support (do that in my games and i will mute and report you.)

MissFortune (but you guys don't even know why they did that.)

DJMason889 votes

It aint reportable tho, and you can use everything as a support if you want to imo. Just build the right items.

Zelorxon2 votes

I said I will do that, you're free to lose everybody's games, not mine ty.

DJMason8810 votes

I had an MF support who built rylais and slowed their whole team down with her ult and e, and a support Katarina who did the same thing. Non-Meta supports can work.
