Streetlight Man2 votes

Yeah, blitzcrank is the best place to start. Sona is also a good one though

Annie - all you gotta do is survive until lvl 6 then its GG even if you fall behind early u can make it up with a good flash+ult combo with ur adc backing you up.

Anivia Janna Nami Brand

but if u want braindead easy go with Sona

Environmentalist1 votes

He asked for supports. Brand and Anivia are mid laners.

He asked for supports. Brand and Anivia are mid laners.

Brand is a damage support, meaning he can still do a bunch of damage because of his passive. He also has cc which is helpful. Anivia has a wall, and 2 forms of cc in her ult and Q.

Yes, they're midlaners but so are Annie Orianna Velkoz Heimerdinger Zyra but they are still played as supports because they're either a reliable source of damage or have some utility, they do it pretty well.

It's like how you sometimes see Zilean Nami Sona Morgana go midlane cause they also do it pretty well.

heimer support???????????????????????????????

Because he can zone out the enemy adc incredibly well, he also has some cc but really his turrets have incredible zoning. Yes, I know the adc or support can just attack them to keep them down, but all the damage on them builds up through the his turret's damage and his own autoattacks. Soon enough, the enemy adc is at 25% health and farming under their turret. It's also incredibly hard to gank his lane, think of him as a short range Zyra with hard cc.

no... his turrets are outranged by every adc except lucian sivir and kog all of which have a way to deal with his turrets from long range.

Doesn't the range of his turrets increase with each point he puts into it?

Mister Modesty1 votes

No. It increases the Health and Damage of turrets. Besides- don't Support with Heimer because your ADC will flame you for "taking all my CS"

Handy Sandy 1 votes

I saw it a couple times and it was pretty good, the turrets made it a little easier for the adc to last hit because all it did was lower the health and push the lane. The turrets would attack the enemy adc/support if they ever chose to go after them. It's like something to fall back on kinda but idk

Mister Modesty1 votes

I've played Heimer Support many times. The largest problem is your salty ADC. His kit is amazing for the job.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

it is ok in lane... issue is it pushes the lane... meaning you have to come out and " over extend ' as adc and leaves you open to ganks being far pushed... also he has no shield, peel , cc to keep adc alive... he does good at zoning people from getting to adc just by the damage the turrets provided but other then that he isnt an effective support at all

Primaquarius1 votes

Somehow I knew Nami could go mid

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

she can full ap... use your E on your self and use autos and Q ,W to do damage

she is still squishy

ive seen it...

item 3100 is core

Primaquarius1 votes

Ive actually been writing up a possible ADC build for Nami, its very similar to Ashe

Mister Modesty2 votes

I'm surprised nobody said this one: Alistar

Primaquarius1 votes

Wait until season 7

Mister Modesty1 votes

Whats going on in S7?

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

item changes for supports

Sona x Rubick2 votes

Bard Thresh Braum

my advise

oSEXYPLATYPUSo3 votes

lol thresh and bard have high skill caps and arent "easy" braum is safe but if you dont know how to effectively tank and shield with out dying then you are just feeding...

easier supports to learn

Blitzcrank Janna Leona Sona

Sona x Rubick1 votes

i didn't advised easy supports, just fun one.

Mister Modesty1 votes

Thresh is far from easy are you for real??? I'm the only person I've seen use his Q+W combo, and it's because it's all about proper placing and timing. Drop your lantern, land your hook, reactivate hook as soon as ally activates lantern. It's not easy.

Not to mention- you run the risk of allies not knowing how to use your lantern the way you're intending. So Thresh requires a lot of communication- something that doesn't go well in this community.

Overall- Thresh is very fun to play. And if you get the chance- play 3s with an Azir and Kalista as your allies. The skating is unreal if you all cooperate.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo2 votes

let alone how squishy he is to ad damage having no scaling armor has the lost base armor of 16 ,, and only gets armor from souls or items... meaning adcs can chunk him for trying to get souls

Mister Modesty1 votes

True. That's the reason I tested ADC Thresh. It's hard due to his low range- he can be out-poked. But he has some good gap-closers to make up for that.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

when he was released adc thresh was broken due to the scaling on his E i mean flat out broken

Mister Modesty1 votes

I came to LoL after the release of Thresh I believe. Then again, I started playing in 2010 and fell off for a couple years. Back then I played Alistar Top, and he was amazing until his nerf tried making him exclusively Support... But now he's in a great spot to start solo laning again!!

Morgana. In lane you sit back until you have 3 charges of Spellthief. Then walk forward, W under the champ's feet, and walk back.

When your jungle comes in for a gank, throw your Q. By the time the enemy is free to move again they'll be at -500.

In team fights press E on someone important. It lasts for ages, half of the enemy team can't pop it, and it gives CC immunity.

Then flash into the middle of the enemy team and press R + whatever hotkey Zhonya's is bound to.

Congratulations, you just hit Plat V as a support main.

Sona Aggro with Windspeakers is super fun

Something like Vel'koz might be for you if you don't like the tradional shield / heal ones. Lots of CC, good damage, and you still get to scale well enough.

RogueWill1 votes

Leona

1.You go in at level 2, you wither win that trade and proceed to go ham everytime your E is up or you lose it and proceed to play passive until level 6. 2.You go in at level 6, ditto. 3.Roam and repeat step one and 2 as much as possible.

Slythion1 votes

The fact that not everyone said Braum Alistar or Blitzcrank has me baffled

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

Alistar is easier to play then what he was with the "nerf" to how hard it was to effectively do his combo but he can still be a pain to learn. high mana cost , high cool downs. learning how to position correctly to pull of combo for kills knowing when to go aggressive with combo as compared to be passive and peel with combo also some people dont understand how much damage they can take with out dying and might think they are tankier then they are

BoilTheOil1 votes

Alistar

AdeBug1 votes

nami, but could be just me

reaperteaser1 votes

Easy would be morgana, sona, nami, raka, the babysitter style supports.

Fun supports depend on your playstyle, so whatever is fun is up to you.

If you're new to the support role i do recomend learning a few adcs, or at least researching then. Just to get a feel on what they do and need from a support. Most importantly however, make sure you purchase (and use!) sightstone.

Teridax681 votes

Alistar is getting a few changes that will make him easier and more fun overall, so I recommend trying him out. Sona, Soraka and Taric are also relatively easy to pick up, and can be a ton of fun once you get a hang of their core mechanics.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

Taric is a lil bit quirky compared to old taric ... and figuring that out can be difficult

Teridax681 votes

That is true, new Taric has to play a bit more with his ally, time his ult right and make better use of his passive. At the same time, though, he's still relatively simple (the only skill that really requires aiming is his E, and its hitbox is fairly generous), and unlike some other supports, it's relatively easy to see exactly where he shines and how. Even if you have no idea how to make optimal use of his W, E or ult, pressing buttons can still impact meaningfully on a fight and help out your allies.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

i think the best way to play taric is a counter engage champ

I just wanna know some ideas

you can take RekSai support take item 3303 stay burrowed so you can sense If the enemy jungler (or anyone else roaming) use your poke to deal some dmg and get your spellthief procs off getting tower dived? crawl up to them and knock them up

this is one of my many crazy ideas

edit: ive only played it once in a normal game, so I don't know if it works or not edit2: reksai doesn't use mana, so there's a mini perk

Drackolus1 votes

Depends on your tier, to be honest. In bronze and lower silver, people typically can't dodge. Blitzcrank is a god. Once you get above that, you actually have to understand the champion a bit to get grabs - though he'll still work. Leona is up there. Just get tanky and engage as much as possible (when your team can follow up, of course). Go item 2049 item 3401 item 3190 item 3110 every game and you'll do dandy. Make sure you grab Bond of Stone. And you feel like a badass because nobody can kill you. Nautilus can be played in exactly the same way, if you prefer. Doubles/triples as a top or jungle once you get decent at him. Slightly harder, I think, but not much. His tankyness is slightly more based on items, but tanks are still tanks. He has more CC to chain with, and he's got a bit more damage, so his kill potential is easier to achieve, but survival is slightly harder. Annie is a classic. Alistar is fun if you really enjoy interrupting people. Sona is pretty lategame - gotta pick your fights well in early game or you'll make your adc fall behind (supports don't really fall behind, to be honest.)
