Braum has good late game, Leona has good late game if you know how to play her as both engage AND as peel (so you can adjust to playing when ahead or behind), Nami, Sona, Zyra, Morgana, the list of viable late game supports is actually quite long... Just make sure you take a support that has a purpose both within your team-comp (don't take Janna in a hard engage comp), and against the enemy team (Janna is great AGAINST hard engage comps).

Just make sure you fit the game and you're not working against your team and you should be fine.

in theory, because of his passive, Thresh should be up near the top because of his "infinite" ap and armor scaling (LATE game)

When I have 0 faith in my marksman, I like to play Annie . 21/9/0 masteries, start item 3303 and with her q. Also, I run summoner 14 summoner 4 . Just walk in there and kick the crap out of them. Build item 2049 because you have to and item 3098 because it's worth it, but you don't necessarily need item 3092. Other than that, build her like you normally would. With some practice, you can get fb pretty fast, even lvl 1-2 if you burn summoners and they underestimate you. Let your marksman complain about KS. As long as he gets farm and maybe some assists, you did your job.

In terms of snowballing in an actual supporty way, I feel Thresh and Leona can snowball the hardest, with the former being a bit safer while the latter can potentially completely fulfill both tank and support, which is frankly completely unique to her.Janna Can also get really out of hand if you go item 3301 ->item 3069 item 3089 item 3041 , completely forgoing item 1001 , since she arguably has the best peel and disengage in the game to keep her stacks safe and since her w is more than enough ms with good ap. Zyra is good too, though you have to learn when to build supporty and when to build ap. Will probably require you to develop a personal playstyle with her. She was the first champ I got a penta with, and that was while supporting, and in a straight up 1v5 too. That was nice. I also have been experimenting lately withAlistar , and I feel he deserves some mention because his skillset works especially well with a snowballing team and can also benefit greatly from the new item 3800, since it gives him great mana from being a item 3010 upgrade. Sona and Morgana scale well with ap, so could be considered snowbally as well. Nami Blitzcrank Lulu Soraka Braum all snowball in their own ways too, though I wouldn't consider them as snowbally as the previous (though they are also safer because they DON'T snowball - even when behind, their overall effectiveness doesn't decrease. This is nice when things just don't go your way bottom lane. This extends to lategame, where they can help hold together a losing team with peeling and enabling plays, helping their team catch up.)

Then, of course, there are "troll" picks like Teemo Zilean Velkoz Anivia Lissandra and, one of my favorites, Darius who can snowball in the right situation, but probably would see more losses than wins in higher ranks.

Oh, and before anyone mentions it, I personally think Brand is a terrible support. Basically a really unreliable and not particularly stronger version of Annie and Zyra. If you're thinking about him, one of the other two would be a better choice. But, as with everything above, that's just my opinion.

These guys have some nasty late game stats for disruption and protection
