I'm curious to know which support are the best to learn for a support main, Lets say if you should learn 3 what ones? Not for ease of use, but effectiveness at their job.

for low elo climb (easy till Gold 4 or so) Brand Alistar I can't really advise you a 3rd. Because these 2 is enough for me. But if I don't have access to the above champions I find Taric/Karma /Shen/Leona to be good enough.

I am not sure how in-depth you want this answer to be. So shortly: Brand +won lane phase +solo carry +engage/disengage (if fed enough) +early game win +objective focus

Alistar +relatively rare pick (low elo) +engage +disengage +roam +item independent (level dependent) +mobile champions synergy

Note I stopped playing actively around 3 months ago, so don't know how easy to climb they are right now.

Lux For carrying (can adapt to any situation and botlane in the game, basically no real counters since she can be an annoying poke mage, an agressive spellcaster or play very safe) Thresh If you trust your adc Lulu If you hate your enemies having fun and you like winning vs assassins Blitzcrank If you hate having fun yourself but the enemy team has an immobile adc and a supp like soraka or alistar that aren't that big of a threat alone Morgana If the enemy picks Thresh, Blitzcrank, Lulu,.... basically every single cc based support

Thresh is rare to ever be out of the meta and is knew as the king of support. Soraka / Janna they both have the same role and do the same thing in lane. They are both the queens of nope and are #1 when it comes to assassins on who to kill first. Soraka is easier, but is counter by item 3123. When Janna is harder but harder to counter. Brand is the support when it comes too “i’m the second carry” and the best against carries who need items to scale like Twitch Jinx Tristana. One of the best lane bullies supports. Right on top of Zyra and Morgana Side note TahmKench and Lulu are the best supports to counter assassin if your into that sorta thing.

Zyra Brand Alistar Janna Trundle are my go to supports. They work in a lot of matchups and can single handedly cuck the lane and the game
