A good carry support?

NuggeTech··3 votes·21,734 views

Hey guys! I am a support main and I play supports like Leo, Sona or Janna. However, they get completely outclassed by champs like Zyra, Malz, Brand and now Lulu. Even Lux manages to beat them tho that is very rare. I would like to know which is the best carry support out there. I already own Zyra but she feels kinda clunky to me. Would really appreciate your thoughts

brand/blittzcrank if you want to win lux if you want to ks and spam laugh also janna and sona are the highest winrate supports in the game,janna is even one of the simplest supports in the game,if you cant win with her you cant win with anything

The thing is with Janna and Sona I am unable to do anything if my top or mid lane feeds. I have played a game as Annie support and the impact she has is bloody disgusting. Just flash in and stun which lasts longer than Sona's ult. I love Sona and janna. They are my fav champs. But if I am to leave this elo then I don't think they are going to work. Also, another person said that Sona is really weak. IDK if that is true

Sona is very strong in lane. After the laning phase though, her abilities don't transfer as well into teamfights except her ultimate, which unless the enemy team is engaging on you you usually have to flash ult to hit a good one. That's the main reason why I personally stopped using her, despite having a high winrate with her.

Sona is literal garbage in lane. Lowest damage numbers of any support, squishiest character in League, no pre-6 hard CC. She has one of the worst ults amongst supports. Winrate doesn't mean shit if you don't contribute anything to those "wins" other than, "the bronze enemy team doesn't know how to punish my mistakes."

Lowest damage numbers of any support meanwhile Soraka is just chunking the shit out of people right.

Well i main Sona and i really didnt notice that she has low damage, her Q is pretty good source of damage and its just click ability, its not like Karma´s Q that is skillshot + her passive after Q is really strong at the start of the game when landed on enemy adc. And then she has ok mid game and great late game. the most powerful thing is her W (late game mostly), when u heal ur team and shield them when grouped, idk but i don´t find Soraka´s W that good, because she can´t heal herself too. And her ultimate is just good opportunity to your teammates ults or other abilities and u can use it for escape too if u can land it properly. So overall she is one of the best supports to correct mistakes of her team, so that is maybe why she has so high winrate (Janna´s idea is the same she is just more safer support). My biggest problem most of the time is running out of mana, but that can helped by buying tear of the godess (no need for upgrading to seraphs). So maybe she is not that carry playmaking support as Thresh or Bard, but she carries by saving her team and making them able to stay more on the map and not to go back.

Karma, Vel'koz, and Bard are pretty great carry supports too. I don't think Malz is nearly as good there anymore after they nerfed him though.

Here are some good supports to take note off.

Leona Thresh Braum are good champs that if you need more tanks on your team comp. Lulu Nami Zilean are pretty good utility champions that can help protect and peel for kills. Soraka Janna is pretty champs that rewards more passive play style and aggressive play style depending on your team comps. But are generally good if your teammates aren't completely bad.

Ever tried Syndra support?

Brand definitely. He deals insane damage even without ap items. If his passive stack in a team fight that's at least 2-3 members of the team taken out

You can carry with damage with Zyra or Brand, or you can carry via strong utility and playmaking with Rakan, Bard, or Thresh. (You should abuse Thresh if you really want to win though)
