I'm curious to know what everyone's favorite champion is to support. Chime in and tell me all about your favorite champion synergies with your main or whatever it is about your favorite carries that makes them more fun than the average lane partner.
Breezy Boyy3 votesWell, while I Zyra/Morgana mage supports, I really just play Enchanters, specifically Nami and Janna.
I have a strong preference for high damage ADCs or sustain damage, with my favorites being Draven, and Vayne, but now I lean more towards Kai'sa than Vayne. ADCs that can supply their own CC, such as Caitlyn with her traps, or Jhin with his own traps, are nice, but I find they rarely if ever actually use their own CC, making lane a bit more difficult than needed.
I don't know why, but I despise Ezreal ADCs, they've just always rubbed me the wrong way, and in regards to gameplay, I always found him a bit lacking. Sure, he's hyper mobile and hard to pin down, with decent poke in lane, but late game, in my opinion, he falls off hard, and doesn't deal nearly as much damage as any other ADC could. That and I rarely if ever see any good Ezreals, most just pick him up because they're new, or like his whole "boyish adventurer" thematic. I also have an unending hatred for Sivir, she's just lacking in every department when compared to other ADCs. She has decent enough mobility, but her damage is lackluster, she lacks any CC, and she can only stay in fights for like 3 seconds before she runs out of mana.
In regards to more off meta ADCs, I've always loved Yasuo ADC. His windwall is so easy to abuse in bot lane, where more often than not you're fighting ranged opponents, and it pairs super well with my Janna, and so I can basically make him unkillable. I also love Graves, and Teemo, or at least, the good ones.
Néékö3 votesI like supporting 
!
Alot of times the enemy wants too deny his passive - by killing him first thanks to the aggressive meta... I like the reaction playstyle and let them engage into him and do everything to keep him alive. Most of the time the draven does well. Last season I duo'ed with a draven main and we only dropped 1 game out of 20 taking breaks ofcourse.
I dislike 
too many seem too agro and don't wait for their power too kick in them blame for them not being relevant till 50min instead of 20.
Metal Janna2 votesI'll start: I'm that wierd support Orianna main/one-trick. She plays as an enchanter/burst support. She can catch but prefers to simply shield her carry and punish anyone who dares walk up with chipping Qs and slowing Ws. So a little bit like Lulu or Karma early game, but with the potential for Brand-level wombo-combos post-6.
Because my main is an enchanter with little CC, I like marksman that bring CC of their own, like 
or
.
Because Ori is scaling, I prefer carries with a strong early game. Carries who can walk up and trade lvl 1 as long as they have my shield to win them the trade. 
Since Ori cannot heal (unless 
), self-healing, lifesteal, and high hp regeneration are nice. 
She can work with scaling carries, such as 
or , but we have to turtle up and play passive for a while. Not my preferred playstyle.
Champions with attack patterns that involve diving onto the enemy work synergize really well with Ori, as her W is her highest damage ability and it's a guaranteed hit if the ball is on my carry and my carry is on them. 
As a player of a very offmeta main, I love to support new and unusual stuff. 
and even the rare-in-solo-queue 
.
If I were to rank the top three, it'd be ,,. (You laugh- but Bard can self-peel, engage and stick without my speed boost, and can self-heal so the enemy can't chip him down even if they do overpower my shield once or twice. I love him.)
Crispy0Snake2 votesI've been playing Orianna support a fair amount this last month or so, how do you build her?
Metal Janna2 votesRunes-wise, I have three Oris: Aery Ori (A safe pick, gives fatter E shields and a small secondary shield on W, as well as enhancing Q pokes), Electrocute Ori (more damage on the Q+E+AA combo, which is cheap mana-wise), and Hail of Blades Ori (Enhances my auto attack range DPS, which in turn helps me zone off the Thresh who wants to walk up past the minions and hook me). Aery Ori: Aery, Manaflow, Celerity, Scorch / Cosmic Insight, Biscuit Delivery Electrocute Ori: Electrocute, Cheap Shot, Eyeball Collection, Ultimate Hunter / Magical Footwear, Biscuit Delivery Hail of Blades Ori: HoB, Cheap shot, Eyeball Collection, Ravenous Hunter / Celerity, Manaflow Band
I've been experimenting with Resolve runes lately. Can't wait until I get to try out Shield Bash.
Items: I'll start with 
-> 
(if i've already died by first back, i'll often skip the charms because i'm not surviving long enough to need the mana regen anyway)
Faery charms build into either 
or . I prefer because Ori can proc it almost constantly, especially with Aery. You can even Ardent multiple teammates by using the Aery shield (W) on one teammate and then using E on another. This is great for sieges.
helps against AP supports like Lux, Zyra, and Brand, but won't help you survive their partner if you eat the CC.
After first support item I upgrade boots (usually 
), vision item, then just grab whatever it looks like we need. For example:
Getting out-dueled by heavy AD opponents? 
. Partner can't catch enemies? 
. They're stacking MR? 
. Kiting ADC? 
for continuous slows throughout combat. Need more CDR? 
.
None of the above? 
to either get me back in the game (if behind) or turn me into second midlaner (if ahead).
I'll usually get 
sixth item. The game doesn't often go long enough for me to hit full build, but if it does then teamfight phase is in full swing and all that AP makes for some fat shields and sick ults.
If you face a Pyke, of course, you'll want to prioritize 
s and build a little tankier.
Going 
is a legitimate route too, but the stats aren't as good which leads to a weaker early game. Plus I dislike it for how telegraphed it makes my moves: Thresh has an easier time hooking me when he knows i'm going to move to a certain area to get a coin.
It's good late-game though, because you end up with more coin than otherwise. It's also good if the matchup is bad and you can't even walk up to poke without eating CC and dying.
Saezio1 votesHave you tried Klepto and Glacial Augment ori support? Klepto for ez to farm it matchups Glacial for going twin shadows and glp to maximize roam efficiency and HUGE kitting potential.
Metal Janna1 votesI tried Klepto, didn't like it because your Q alone can't proc it - you have to land an auto too and the way I build is pretty squishy so that's a big risk to take repeatedly. If I built tanky it might be good. Maybe i'll try it. I seem to remember Glacial activating rarely in lane due to a long cooldown, but that can't be right because Leaguepedia says it's only 7 seconds at lvl 1 and even less later. It also tells me the slow got buffed since then, so i'll have to give it another try. Last time was shortly after Runes Reforged dropped. I haven't tried GLP-800, just out of shear laziness and fear that i'll forget it's there during the battle (something that happens often with items that have active effects). That Gold efficiency though... I'll have to add it to my item page.
Crispy0Snake1 votesI just find if I build like that I never have the mana to get frostfang gold in lane and scale up. If I go electrocute I'm very squishy because then you're forced to take sorcery 2nd I feel.
What I do, and have found to work, is this:
Fountain buy: 
First back: 
(Priority on Frostfang)
Second back: 
Then you can either rush ROA, or if you're ahead you can get Sorc Shoes and then ROA. After that I'll buy Ardent, then either Athene's, Redemption or Zhonya
So final build is something like: (
)
For runes I'll take Sorcery for Aery, Manaflow, Absolute Focus and Scorch. Then Resolve for Chrysalis and Revitalise!
A lot of trial and error and thought went into the runes and build (To find something that has presence in lane and scales well and does a job within a team well) so I hope you have fun with it!
YuGiHo2 votesvarus,xayah,kalista,sivir. i like adc with wave clear.
Crispy0Snake2 votesMy favourite has to be Varus. Varus is consistently strong throughout the game but he needs peel or protection depending on comp, so I feel like I can always make a win condition with him. Varus players often know what they're doing with their passive and E, he wins trades, has good range, his level and item powerspikes are crazy... honestly I think if you're an ADC player Varus is a "must learn" more so than Ashe/MF
Step Sis Lux2 votesIm basically "Mid champions on support player" so i like 
cuz with my high burst + thier big dmg botlane is way easier than with enchanter, unless obvoiusly adc is garbage
only beacuse this champion is broken af
I really hate playing with because im always scared im gonna take "wrong" kill and he will die with a lot of stacks
just because her ultime is made more for tanks than ap champions
are like neutral for me
Bent Pixels2 votesI know she isn't played very often, but I absolutely love supporting Kallista players. I dont really know why, I just like supporting her.
Miss Fortune and Draven are good too. They both can really punish someone if I land a Nami bubble (Nami Support main btw) and Miss Fortune's ultimate and Nami's ultimate go very well together.
Need Gold 4 Tent2 votesI have a love and hate relationship with Yasuo. I hate the feeding ones on my team. I hate the broken ones on the enemy team. But in the rare occasion I randomly pick an AP Malphite support into a troll who last second switches to Yasuo ADC, and it works, it's one of the most satisfying bot lanes ever at level 6.
FullmuteAll play2 votesI like to support early aggressive adcs.
E.g
My main winning condition is to snowball from early and win the game with champs like 
or 
.
JeaneGreene2 votes
ChaddyFantome2 votesAttack speed focused champs like
I'm a silly little 
player :P
Saezio2 votesI like to play with players that understand the difference between me harassing and me picking a fight. Seriously ADC mains if you are not pinged to join you are not allowed to say "I came to help you and you let me die OMG"
Metal Janna1 votesYeah it happens sometimes. I have cooldowns carry-sama! My W is not going to help you when I just blew Q and E poking!
Big ol Nom2 votesi dont play support often but i love supporting for dravens and miss fortunes because i like really aggressive supports
Eleshakai1 votesStrangely, I don't have a preference much. Except Draven... I hate playing with Draven. Because I've noticed a trend of Draven players being very childish and tending to either flame over small mistakes, or give up if we start falling even the slightest bit behind.
Aside from that, I tend to not care which ADC I get matched with, in terms of champion.
SwiftKitten881 votesi would say and are my favorites to me supporting, as they synergize well with he champs i play support as
none of the ADC are really "bad" with my support except who i will refuse to support with unless i and picking .
or am in a duo voice chat with them as every single game i had hade as my adc when i have been playing 
she literally costs is the game by pulling me out of my ultimate.
i will literally dodge a ranked game to lose my promo series before i get another after i have locked in
IF I WALK IN AND LAND A PERFECT 4 MAN ULTI DONT FUCKING PULL ME OUT OF IT BEFORE IT GOES OFF
I HAVE A FUCKING
