Hi! I am in need of a support and I have focused my attention on these three because they seem pretty interesting. How are their playstyles and which one would you recommend for me to pick up?

  • Bard Bard is very dependent on team work, and unless you share a similar mind set with your whole team or some of them, he wont be played to his max potential. You would need people to operate with a hive mind to use Bard to his very best, but that does not mean he isn't viable.

  • TahmKench Tahm Kench is very strong right now and has been receiving small buffs through the last few patches. He can go Top, Jungle or Support (jungle and support work best) so he has more lane options than Bard, and he can get unbelievably tanky due to his gray health and dish out decent amounts of damage as well. He may receive some nerfs in the future though. A good Tahm Kench is devastating.

  • Lulu Lulu has fallen a tad bit out of favor, but it doesn't mean she isn't viable. She is the most versatile out of both of the above as she can go to any lane and perform exceptional if you learn to play her well. Her entire kit has plenty of options to choose from, and can fit well into many team comps. She is also slippery as hell and probably has one of the most widest build paths if not the widest out of every champion.

I would personally go with Lulu, but mainly because I find her very fun to play, but I would go with Tahm Kench just as much as I would go with Lulu. Bard isn't bad at all, but is more dependent on team work and follow ups.

Tahm is pretty good right now and he's pretty easy to play if you wanna play him, also if you take him top you get a huge amount of global pressure with his ult and teleport

Personally, i believe it works based on who the enemy and your ADC are. If the enemy has a vayne, take Lulu, and make her tini when she tries to combo, if YOU have vayne, take Bard, that way you help with heal and slow/stun. if you are a slow adc with no escapes, take tahm (aplies to draven cause hes a power house and tahm kits makes them have good teamwork) if THEY are slow adc with no escapes, Lulu or tahm are good ideas. If they deal too much damage, take tahm or lulu, for shuting them down quickly, if YOU deal tons of damage, Lulu and Bard, for neutralizing and slowing the enemy. If the enemy is ashe, i wouldnt recomend ANY of them, althought tahm would be good with a Randuins Omen. If YOU are ashe, Lulu and tahm are . Keep in mind this is all MY opinion, based on those 3 choices.

Lulu is great because you can use her in every lane.

TK is super tanky and saves his ADC multiple times during a game.

However, my personal pick is Bard. He is an absolute blast to play once you learn him. (Yeah, I'm a Bard main for that reason)

I would go with Lulu since Tahm gets the ban hammer and Bard kinda needs a full remade to shine. She can also top or mid so she's a flex pick which is a good thing in draft.
