AD Supports!

With the new support items designed to help out Senna and Pyke as Riot decides to make the game a little more diverse in playstyles and builds, some AD scaling champions previously unable to abuse support items to their fullest now have some utility in the AD options, as well as Umbral Glaive, as well as some supplementary old school items such as Black Cleaver and Frozen Mallet. Other than our edgy new supports Pyke Senna , has anyone found success with other champions?

I recently tried out Ashe Ashe because with her slow, Black Cleaver, and Runaans she can offer a lot of utility to fights. Umbral Glaive allows her to play a much more effective vision game as well. I think she might become a pocket pick into bot lanes that don't have a hard engage, which is common nowadays with Senna and Yuumi popping up consistently.

I was going to try out Pantheon Pantheon too as he's been a support pocket pick for a long long time now, despite being outclasses in some lanes.

Edit: Some of the following champions look like they might be able to shimmy in, or will be seeing more power than they used to, let me know if you guys have played any!

J4 was low key viable as a support even b4. Now he is a solid pick imho.

issue with most off meta supports is their kits dont scale well with out gold resources.

most support champs kits are effective with out a big amount of gold.

hence the only way pyke works is cuz well he is meant to get kills and his team /adc isnt punished for him getting the kill.
