Top laners that support
Who are some top laners that can be a successful support. I'm mainly looking for tanks.

Trundle, Shen, Malphite, Poppy, Volibear can be decent supports.
Out of those, I would say Trundle and Shen are probably the most useful.

I'd have to agree. nautilus as well but imo he's a better support atm than a toplaner
Seconded on shen. He's great as a wandering support and has so much utility in his kit.
Sion is OK too. Not great, but OK.
Yup. Trundle, shen, malphite. I wouldnt say voli makes a very good support except in a few specific cases but Nautilus also works well.
Maokai?

These guys can work as supports as long as you don't act stupid about it lol
Illaoi support is pretty bad, IMO. She has low utility because she's a juggernaut, but as a support she won't be able to build enough damage or tankiness either because those things cost gold. And she brings 0 peel, in contrast to pretty much every other tank support.
tri force alistar was a thing, but lulu tends to be good at it, not tank tho. Mao is pretty support.

i keep taking
bot lane, knockup, slow, and great damage from all the early health stacking from sightstone/mountain.
and the god level 6 engage.
not a tank, but
is essentially a mix of melee bruiser/support.
he is usually strong, when he has a strong adc to ult for the ghost.
ive never once seen a good yorick support. He is easily countered in a duo lane.

i thought op was talking about top laners who can support in teamfights, and generally play supporty.
I used to play support Yorick, hence my mastery five on him. He's good if you know what you're doing and he's actually not countered that much in duo lanes. He can win trades fairly well.


I would reccomend Poppy, although Gangplank has some supportive properties as well.
support is pretty hilarious. I actually prefer him in that role to top lane. You could also be a dick and play
support.
Trundle works in lane with his pillar, and works after lane with his ult to shred the enemy tank.
Any tank can really be played as a support later in the game after the laning phase is done. Most of them will have the CC needed to peel for the ADC and because they're tanks they'll be able to soak up the damage.
I run Maokai down there a lot. here's how I do it:
Take Q,W,E,Q - then max W first, Q second, and R when you can.
I rush
, grab boots second. With Mao, you want to keep that root uptime going so I generally take
but
isn't the worst options.
- you need to get money, and this thing CSs for you post langing phase. You also need speed.
- makes him almost invincible.
At this point it's all "take what's best" but I like Mao as a health tank so I go
and
for my last two slots.
One man's opinion.
Sion can work pretty well, especially with an Ashe or Jhin adc. Also Shen.
Sion, Maokai, Malphite, Sejuani, Poppy, Gragas, Shen, Volibear, Zac are all extremely viable. Illaoi, Mundo, Darius, Trundle also work but are far less effective.
Looks like
are the top picks, now i just need to figure out how to build them support, vs top lane.
Youtuber Raigarak has some interesting picks.
