Need help picking a support.

So after finding a champ i like for every other position i need to pick a support. I have a lot of the "High Tier" supports and none of them i have liked, as none of them have come even close to my play style. I love assassin champs, and every champ i play is, or at least can act as one. I love having the high mobility and being able to jump on a target and do what i need to do. Because of this i also usually have a more aggressive play style. If you can think of any supports i might like, they don't have to be meta as long as it can work, please share. Thank you!

I have played: Leona is a good very aggressive support with cc for days. Karma has some good poke. not really assassin-y but can play aggressively. Lulu if built ap has good damage potential, as well as a shield and some cc. Sejuani I enjoyed this as support for a time, she has some cc, can be tank-y, can be damage-y, can be built to your tastes somewhat. Anivia another good ap support with a wall for disengage/kill secures. Ultimate also works as wave clear for split saving towers late game.

I have seen: Annie has stuns and decent bursting and trading potential. TwistedFate has his gold card and good potential for aggressive play.

I have never seen but might work: Veigar has that good stun box, and good damage potential. Chogath i've never seen this one, but has a knock up and a silence, and feast for burst damage. i don't see why it wouldn't work. (i might have to try this)

Try these in normals first! Not all of these are trivial to play as support and if not done properly you might overly ks your adc and they will hate you forever! :)

Nidalee is a meta support that can do that in lion form. Of course, I hate calling nidalee a support when she's bot, because really it's "ADC support with poking while nidalee bursts down champs". But otherwise, why not just bring a champ you like bot with support masteries? A ton of champs become supports like that.

So you want to do assassin style burst or simply jump on your target to ruin their day?

Annie Annie still works as a burst support, even though she has lost her previous popularity. Velkoz Vel'koz brings good poke and high burst with his ultimate. Both of these champs lack mobility, though.

There's really no traditional support that can physically jump on anyone - except Leona Leona. She also makes for a super bursty and aggressive lane, especially when paired with the right ADC.

If you want to go non-traditional, you can take actual assassins such as Leblanc LeBlanc or Rengar Rengar botlane. MonkeyKing Wukong can also work (kind of like Shaco but with more CC because of his ultimate.) It's just risky.

Besides maybe Rengar or Shaco, who are niche picks at best, there essentially isn't such a thing as an assassin support. Building Annie or Fiddle bursty might be a good bet for you if you're looking to blow people up and harass in lane, but again, they're mages, not assassins. In terms of tankiness and diving, Leona's your best bet; you're not going to solo kill anyone with her, but people back the fuck up if you play her aggro.

Hope that helps!
