Need Off-Meta/Gimmicky Ideas for a smurf one trick Support

ºJesus Christº··1 votes·845 views

hello, This is my smurf account that im looking to play something kinda gimmicky/off meta, Little about me, My main account was diamond 1, masters for a short while in season 7, I am a support/jungle main, who climbed from silver to Diamond 1 playing Sona Mid-lane, and then support (cant mid lane sona past D3 players are just to knowledgeable to let you abuse them) So I am an off meta player. However i did meta pick jungle to get into masters cuz like i had no choice pretty much xd

anyways enuff about how im a huge nerd and my game ranks that wont get me elected president. I want to know what you would suggest as a fun champ to one trick in the support role, i have my own idea, and have tested it well, but i want to get ideas from others to see what you would think

I want a champ that can fill the support role, but isnt normally played as support OR a Build Path on a Support champ that would be Burst/poke related (besides AP Sona cuz like i played this to death, You'd be scared to see how many times i pressed Q in my "year in review")

TBH just throw me ideas Nothing is "stupid" or "bad" this is hypothetical ATM, I dont care what rank you are, Give me your reason why you would play it, and it would be really helpful, and i would enjoy interacting!

I may use this idea to build a Youtube thinige, i currently run a 70k Sub channel, that is not league related but i am looking to venture.

Thanks for your Time and input!

Extremely underrated as a support imo. He has some very distinct hard counters (morgana, nami). But against tanks and even other squishy "damage dealing" supports such as lux, brand, annie. I find he wins matchup every time, as well as being extremely useful against tanks that want to all in. Leona not being able to cast root or stun at exactly the right moments because of 2 second silence or even if she does land is sudden feared away from the carry for 2.5 seconds. The options are very big. He also has free sustain, as long as you stop drain before finishing a minion and don't try drain at a dumb time where you can be interrupted. The e spam, in general, is more bullying than brand pillar because it is point and click. If you hit it on one when they are close enough to get multiple bounces between both support and adc, this is like 1/2 hp on both champions if you are maxing it. There are certain things one must be aware of with this though, main one is not throwing e when a ton of minions are in the way and low as it can fuck over adc cs. This is completely avoidable but takes good reaction time and practice/experience to know when to crow and when not to.

I suspect now with the non-requirement of buying an 800 or 1750 gold starter item at beginning of game you can build this much faster. Small tip, build rylai's 2 or 3rd item. It gives fid even more cc, and on multiple targets with e and r. In team fights this constant aoe slow can be very devastating and hard for enemy team to play around as people can get easily caught without time to react. Highly recommend also building a zhonyas and or spirit visage depending on comp as mid to late game without resistances he is very very squishy. Must build some resistances to successfully contribute without feeding.

As much as I bitch about it, I do enjoy playing full ap supports when smurfing.

Anivia Wall, Wall, Stun, Wall. Egg. (walling hi-jinks)

Rammus Rolleyball, Flash, Taunt. Ok. (maybe just an old meta support)

Shaco Box, Box, Clone, Box. (similar to teemos support works really well and safe from ganks)

Volibear Run, Run, Flip, Bite.

Warwick Run, Run, Fear, Bite.

If you take Volibear then definitely max his roar first. Even at lvl 3 it's 150 dmg, a 40% slow for 3 seconds, plus disengages minion aggro.

karthus support, you can spam q and decimate people who don't know how to dodge it

That would be interesting, plus he probably counters draven better than nami/vel/xer.

Nocturne. Hes a surprisingly effective (tank) support.

Maokai Amazing poke and huge damage off it as well. Build ap/health items and take coment as your keystone. item 3151 item 3027 done deal.

Also Taliyah support is a ton of fun. Massive poke plus the slow/pop-up combo and great roaming. She doesn't have great keystones but kleptomancy helps rush some items and it's easy to land after your pokes.

I quite enjoyed ori support maxing her shield and playing her more like pre-update janna. AP malph is spicy, as is AP nunu (which maaay become an actual thing with the recent patch). Support yorick maxing his wall has brought me remarkable amounts of success.

I've played most things in the support role (in normals) as a means to acquire S rank chests as a support main, and those are the ones that come to mind for things that didn't feel like entirely trolling despite being off meta. (Really enjoyed pre-rework AP cait support that'd chunk people for like half their health for stepping on her traps, but gone are those days.)

Suspect there might be something workable with support vayne or varus built more as tanks and relying on their %health procs, but that sort of thing tends to require me to be drinking to overcome the guilt of me potentially trolling by even trying such things, and that brings another set of issues.

edit: For awhile I felt like I could play tank anything and casually build zzrot/banner and be a super annoying splitpush threat. ZZ'rots had some nerfs since then so probably wouldn't work out so well. Plus carries tend to not appreciate their farm getting taken by voidlings.

Bard Botrk, onhit or off tank to fit your comp. Camille Nami Does well with Ap. Illaoi Klepto it up. E adds extra damage to aoe champs like mf. Probally not worthwhile on higher elo but hey have fun otherwise. Velkoz is a fun support.
