I was aiming to main Rakan this season, I know he just got nerfed quite a bit. Do you think he is still viable for solo Q?

Others I was eyeing are Karma, Bard and/or Soraka.

Any thoughts?

Leona, Ali, Thresh. The usual trifecta of tank supports. Then there's Braum and Janna, along with Pyke.

Morgana used to be awesome, but i have no hopes that the new one will be in any way better.

I think it really depends on who you are playing with and your playstyle. I've honestly been looking more and more at Zilean support. I'll always think Morgana is strong because of her shield and snare. Rakan has been running rampant (although I haven't seen nerfs yet) and so has Alistar for excellent engages. Nami is underrated imo and should get way more play.

Bard great champ. super versatile, can be a real bully but also scales well.

psst..between us: don´t play like a bitch and build item 3092item 3117 item 3107item 3109item 3190 just go for magic pen instead: item 3311+item 3117 /item 3020+item 3151+item 3165+item 3135/item 3089

And if you feel like you are too squishy or that a little more survivability is needed so that you or your team can survive some initial burst then you can always slot in an athene´s or redemption afterwards, but I would recommend focusing on dmg first.

Additionally, don´t forget how strong your passive is around enemy minions. Inexperienced players usually don´t expect how big that cone becomes and how strong the slow is and it´s an easy way to get off free dmg, prepare a stun or outright 1v1 someone.
