What's your favorite support to have on your team?

There are a bunch of supports that I want to master, but have no idea who to start with. I just want to see who everyone says is their favorite support to have on their team so I know who to master first. I personally prefer Blitzcrank or Thresh, but I have met many people who don't like either of them.

Problem is: Your favorite vs What works with your team comp.

Albeit there can be some CRAZY off-meta "supports" that just become "meta" after a pro or someone really good proves how good it can be.

Something I've seen work surprisingly well: Kalista Markswoman with Yasuo "support". The ultimate synergy is CRAZY! And with the pre-season changes coming I could see Yasuo "support" with possibly this build: New item 3364 for trinket, item 3097 + item 2049 (aka Eye of the Equinox), new item 3508 , reworked item 3078 to get max CDR with new Reaver, item 3742 , item 3102 , item 3031

Possibly. But he really only does his best with Kalista as who he is supporting. Its just a theory!

That a very interesting idea. I'm definately going to try that in the upcoming season.

There's no rule that Kalista needs to bond with the support.

Sure, it's more efficient, but if you already have Yasuo "support" then other off-meta strats shouldn't be off the table, right? ;~;

Correct! Kalista can even change it later!

Its just that with a Kalista Markswoman with Yasuo "Support" combo its for the absurd synergy of getting two ultimate's off in quick succession allowing Kalista to get free Rend stacks on them while the target (or targets with item 3085 ) is suspended for some serious air time from the initial Kalista ult and Yasuo follow up ult allowing for her to get lots of Rend stacks for the kill once they land.

Is the poll limit 10 or something? Cause there's a few there that is definitely gonna skew your poll cause people are going to have to select other....Alistar, Leona, Janna, Nami, Nautilus, Taric...and that's just off the top of my head.

It is ten

Ah, maybe should have made separate polls or changed up how you numbered them? I dunno, gonna be a weird result and people gonna be sad their fav's ain't in the 'top 9.'

Bard because he's a sexy sax man.

There is no such thing, it depends on the comp.

But if I'm the one to play support, then Morgana is my favourite. I also really like Annie, Alistar, Tahm and Braum.

If Shen is a choice, then Shen is the answer..

Leona for her strong initiation and fairly decent peel.

Morgana for her strong initiation and black shield.

I despise having a Thresh/Blitz support. Mostly just bias but they do not match my playstyle at all.

If the player is highly skilled, I'd rather have Alistar. He's the perfect combination between Thresh and Blitzcrank. Unlike Thresh, he can actually tank, and unlike Blitzcrank, he can actually peel, but like both of them he can make some great plays.

But if I were dealing with a new player, an inexperienced support, Janna is the way to go. She's very simple, little more to do than just press the buttons, and it's generally hard to mess up with her. You can go aggressive or passive and be fine either way.

Me, I'm always the support every game.

But if I'm ever not the support, I would actually enjoy having a Bard. Playerbase actually consist of cool people, very underrated, has one of the best peels, and he actually KNOWS he has a team to babysit instead of just his ADC.

So you have Annie, Sona, and Shen, but not Bard or Lulu? What...

I main support, but when I have to adc, I prefer Leona tbh it's hard to screw her up.
