How do you do it? What's the main mechanics for a support to have down perfect? What supports can carry the best right now?

In season 3 I used to go AP SONA. Why? Well her Q is great dealing tons of damage W heals which is good when running or chasing. E movement speed for chasing. R for secureing that PENTAKILL (i almost got it) and HER PASSIVE IS SOO OP IF YOU STACK IT AND USE AA ON BLUE AURA IT WILL DEAL ALOT OF DAMAGE INCLUDING LICH BANE!

The only ones I've seen carry in my games are sona and annie, sometimes nidalee. I don't know how though, think it has to do with straight AP items so your like an ap mid but with a support side. I don't know. >.<

Are we talking pure supports or AP champs in support role?

PrPra Leona WestJan 12, 20141 votes

Pure supports. Thresh, Leona, Sona.

I'd say right off the bat, the 3 you named can make or break a game. You don't exactly need to have the most kills to carry. 3 man Leona/Sona stuns, Tresh hooks and flay can be a game changer if you remove their carries.

Yeah, but it seems hard to carry (especially in lower elos like mine (B4)) with these types of champions, simply because your stun or box or what-have-you relies still on your team to go in, and not be completely retarded.

Then I'd suggest playng the support role with an AP champ.

So, Annie, Karma, and the like?

Annie make a pretty viable support for some odd reason, but she can also swap to APC end-game, and with 4.1 her Stun/Tibbers combo is going to get really insane.

Karma is really annoying to lane against if she spams her missiles.

I carry as Pantheon, Annie, Nidalee, Soraka, Fiddles. I build straight AP there, where I have over 800 AP with about 3k health and no mr nor armor. And with full CDR of course. Also Leona - but as pure tank and initiator.
