Bite ME. i have one hard cc two soft cc's Free attack speed and armor pen. What do you bring to the table sparkles?
######upvoted btw.
So many disclaimers are gonna have to go up at the end of this comment to avoid the downvotes.
I promise you that I, as a support player with literally thousands and thousands and thousands of hours doing nothing but playing support. could run you over with any off meta support I want.
The actual positioning and matchup knowledge matters so much more than the champion you pick. 
is considered one of the perfect counters to Leona. Jesus christ, does he fuck Leona up. When I first started playing her I would rather sit in fountain the entire game than fight a fucking alistar. BUT after like, 50 games of playing against Alistars, I was able to start beating them. Now, if I see an alistar locked in on the enemy team after my Leona I just think of it as another lane cause he really doesn't have an advantage over me anymore, cause I just know both these champions and this lane so well.
So I promise you, anyone you're facing right now playing those off-meta supports, they're not support mains. So they're not going to be an actual challenge... That's why you laugh at their picks cause they're not there as support, they're playing that role cause they have to. (at least most of the time) or because they think it might be fun.
I promise you step into a game with an actual support main who's put actual time and effort into an off meta pick and they will destroy you - especially because it's not something you're used to as a player. I'm not trying to personally insult you here, sure you're bronze but that doesn't mean you're god awful at this game. Just means you placed in bronze, idk how good you are in normals (apparently pretty decent based on win/loss in your past 32 games) but I could run you over on any of the supports listed above - and again. refer to the disclaimers, that's not an insult.
Here is some disclaimers:
-
I am not saying you're garbage
-
I'm not saying I'm a botlane god
-
My qualifications for saying all of the above come from 4000+ hours of bot lane play. It's my role, and has almost always been my role.
-
I am NOT a high ranked player, I've never put serious time into ranked. But if it counts for anything, I think I've only ever lost like... 5 games? in all my time in bronze? Not including promo games. If this is incorrect and anyone can prove it please tell me. Cause that's how I remember it.
and finally
- I am no longer playing this game.
I have not had it installed in like, 9 months. I don't know what the meta is like anymore, and I probably can't do anywhere near as well as I used to with ANY of my supports let alone my off metas. But if we're talking about when I was actively playing, I am 100% confident I could beat you (and most people) with my off metas. That's not me being cocky, that's just statistics. I wish I had more concrete numbers to display for my casual games - since I very rarely used my off-metas in ranked games (xerath has a 100% winrate on one season over a couple games if i remember correctly) but I know that I won more than 54% for all of those champions because otherwise I would not have spent so much time on them (which is why Poppy, though I attempted her. Is not on this list cause I lost more than I won despite practice)
The main point of this long ass unnecessary post is to say 2 things. First, please don't underestimate off meta supports... They will fuck your ADC up and your ADC will hate you for it. Treat every laner as a massive threat, even if it's a mumu with 6 tears who only levels up E.
And second, you should probably pick up a few. They're very fun, and they're very hard for most people to fight against if you know what you're doing cause like you, they have no idea how far their lane can be pushed by the newcomer. If you're a hardcore support main, the off metas will teach you more about your role than the on meta ones cause you'll start to realize what parts of your job you really have to focus on in order to keep your ADC happy and healthy.
P.S try botlane. That shit is hilarious and combined with my one friend we have like a 98% winrate over like 40 games including some in ranked. I'll try to dig up those games later I need to sleep for now I'm exhausted.
I’ve started to dread seeing off-meta supports. They could be a toxic autofill who’ll be useless and feed. They could also be a smurf who knows just how to cheese an over-confident botlane. It’s a coin toss. :/
you know that brand would easily ignore you and E-W-Q the adc right taking away 80% of his HP and when the passive trigger among with ignite its an easy kill or force the adc to blow all their SS?
Taric would just sit there trying to shield and heal the adc but it would be useless...
We are in a damage meta and taric dosent have strong shield or heal to negate the damage...and when brand hit 6 you just lost but yeah keep thinking you can do shit with taric lol taric is only good against other tank supports because the damage is low so taric can actually do something but against mage supprots he cant do shit...

Enemy
: (Casts E when faraway from Brand.)
: (Brand gets stunned by thin air)
: Dafuq? Nice scripts. Reported.
: Lol that wasn't scripts.
: (Brand feels that there is a third here) NANI!?!
: "Omae wa mou shindeiru."
Did you just call my Ugandan Sting operation Yasuo support bot invalid?!
When you lose against said "support" ... =')
I am a Diamond support main and here is my roster.
I also like these though :p
Def how I feel, I went Janna in a match today up against a Shaco "support" and that was by far the easiest lane I've ever won, what makes it even better is that the Shaco was mastery 7. LOL!!!
Wait, are you or 
?
I don't play support but I get auto filled, play Talon and 99% of the time, dominate. I love seeing Thresh, Jannas, Lulus, etc. flash their lvl 7 mastery, kill them lvl 3 or 4 while getting heal/exhaust and get the ball rolling. Let the flame begin with "report my adc" or "report my support".
My support 
: I WILL PROTECT MY ADC
enemy support : I WiLl Go FuLl Ap WiTh DoRaN RiNg CuZ Im ReTaRd WhO ThInKs We NeEd DaMaGe AnD No WaRdS AnD PrOtEcTiOn!!¡
I was going to write a comment about how it's sometimes better to take mages as supports, but then I realized that this was in the Memes & Games section and felt like such a jerk. [sg-soraka]
My supports are Xerath, Viktor, and Pantheon. I cant help but feel this thread was aimed at people like me.
Is Quinn a "support" cause I've been having fun wrecking people with it.
Brand could have that lane
As someone who has mained offmeta supports for like 5 years now I have to say that bashing them isn't healthy for the game. Riots been on a crusade against anything offmeta for years now. Theyre constantly pidgeonholing champs into only one playstyle which really detracts from the game and attitudes like this post help to support them. Also, taric counters brand because hes a tank support and brand is a damage support. This is just an example of a favorable matchup (for taric). You wouldnt be laughing if you had picked a squishy enchanter like soraka or sona then the tables would be significantly turned.
This is hilarious. I played on Chinese servers over the Summer? Wukong and Jarvan Support was META.
I mean, support Voli exists because he can't go anywhere else atm.
