Don't pick meta Supports, Pick your Supports.
I was just reading a discussion about getting auto filled support and how people hated it and it got me thinking. a supports goal is to win the game just like the other 4 roles. so what are ones objectives when playing support. Warding and Peeling are the main ones that come to mind. Harassing the opposing laners, having utility, and/or being tanky are some other support roles. Warding can be done by any champion so that wouldn't be an issue and within the parameters of the other parts of being a support ALMOST ANY CHAMPION CAN SUCCEED. Just because you get support doesn't mean you have to play Janna, or zyra, or braum..... I have seen hard carry supp pantheon, just pick something you are comfortable with, go into some normals and figure out how to play it as support. say like you're a Darius main and hate support. k so play Darius support, abuse your passive, long melee range, and pretty good base damages. get like a frozen mallet and black cleaver and then full tank. You main Twisted Fate, k so go full cooldown reduction and spam gold card and poke and roam mid with ult. I will say this works better with early game champs, but a strategy that works for YOU is sooooo much better than you using a strategy that works for everyone else. Ignore People that say your trolling for Super off meta supports. as long as you know what works for you then do it.
A few champions should (for the most part) never be played as support. Fiora, Draven, Fizz, Akali, Katarina, Rengar, Shyvana, Tristana, Evelynn, Zed, Ezreal, Master Yi, Sivir, Kindred, Lucian, Talon. That's 16 champions! 16 out of 134 cant be played as support! You guys that are complaining about support have 118 champions to chose from, Im sure you can find at least 1 play style that fits you.
This is my first post constructive criticism will be accepted.
will always be my go to supports. Though
are all really fun to play in the role.
