so your a support main

rubberduckie666··23 votes·3,278 views

and you happen you run into another support main thats a higher pick than you and locks in a support. lets say you're not as confident in your other roles as you are in a support role. lets say you're not sure what to pick in other roles.

so heres some champs to pick when your force to fill as a support main

top Shen the late game hyper tank with a potentaly fullteam taunt and a global shield able to not only save your adc but get them kills too. Sion also a massive tank with a ton of cc. Maokai also a tank with cc and a damage denying ult, can easly turn loseing games in a single well played teamfight. Nasus although he lacks cc susan will always become a threat late game and the longer the game goes on the better. Chogath with his aoe knockup and aoe silence and high base damage he will always fit into any comp.

mid Orianna damage, cc, and utlity a supports wetdream, although she requires a level of skill to use correctly a good ori carrys games easly . Morgana although morgs spellshield wont always be usefull her q's long root time and her ult bring everything a team needs to the table and if your fed her w is more than a area denial. Annie annie has to be one of the easyest champions in leauge and with her passive you can not only set up easy wins for your team but grab them yourself with your insane damage andd cc. Anivia aoe damage aoe stun and single target nuke (if you can call her e a nuke) not to mention her wall she brings the controll the the fight all supports love Brand he may only have a single target stun but the damage he brings to the table more than make up for it not to mention most of his damage is aoe. even if your skillshots arnt perfect you should still get off alot of damage in teamfights Chogath with his high scailings he also does well mid while haveing that cc and tankyness

jungle Sejuani lots of cc and a good tank if you gank propperly it will almost always gate a kill for whatever lane your ganking. Shen now shen is my hidden op jungler because with everything he brings as a hyper tank monster with a full team taunt (if done right) with his ult make it so you can gank and save lanes while your on the other side of the map. (also with the new hydra by building nearly only tank you become a massive threat to everyone and a massive splitpushing threat) Rammus another super tank able to almost alway ensure a kill on gank eventually come late game you can force a win on teamfight just by taunting the adc and let your team clean up once the adc finishes killing themself on your thornmail. Nautilus THE KING OFF CC almost always gets a kill on gank not to mention how tanky he gets brings nearly everythign a team needs to a comp.

adc Caitlyn with tons of range you can keep safe and do damage even if you are lacking in mechanics or arnt great at kiteing. Ashe tons of range and utlity with her passive, ult and e very easly to play and lots of damage to boot Varus with tons of long range poke with a slow and a root on ult that can stun more than one person great for when you wana turn fights and poke them down from a safe distance away.

IF you feel i missed someone let me know ill even give people builds for a champ if your willing to ask me good luck in solo que my fellow support mains

I'm a support main and this is what I play in other lanes currently:

Top Malphite Singed Gangplank Jungle Amumu JarvanIV Rammus Mid Annie Lux Morgana ADC KogMaw Jinx Sivir

And for fun, here's the supports I mainly play Bard Nautilus Janna Braum Thresh

It's fun being a support main who owns all the champs..

I would argue also in favor of Heimerdinger mid, he's my go-to if someone takes support from me. He's really easy to play and his turrets farm for you.

EwokSoldier1 votes

I love that Heimerdinger and i strongly agree. He is very safe and easy to use. He has no escapes but the safety his turrets provide if he can keep them up make him very difficult to gank and he farms safely.

Silver Fluffenbu1 votes

who needs escape when you can kite? his turrets proc item 3116 per AA. that's like 3 Anivias.

Unless you're high elo, in which most generally, unless your Heisendong, they'll rek you.

I agree with most of what you said but if you are truly a support main and only know how to support these picks i would not recommend, Varus Ashe , also i would not reccomend SUSAN Nasus since they require more knowledge in that role and positioning can be punished very easily.

For adc i would recommend Ezreal Corki Graves Sivir Tristana they are fairly simple, and each have decent kits with escapes and most have spells so if you are not an adc main that is good at dps with autos these caster type adcs like ez and corki with escapes can help you feel more comfortable

OnanThaMan1 votes

Switch Ezreal with Jinx and that list is good. Although Ez is not Draven hard but he isn't as easy as he looks, considering all the skillshots and how they play into his passive and his build paths.

Switch Ezreal with Jinx and that list is good. WHY!!!!! Ezreal is a strong pick no one and i mean NO ONE picks or bans this guy so if you can get good at him then BAM you have your main ADC and you will get him all the time i am a main of ezreal and i can win the lane 90% of the time. He has good poke and a GOOD ult the charg up time sucks but..... if it didn't the ult would be op.

Ionian1 votes

What about the opposite? What if I'm a mid main and I'm forced to go support? The only support I can play is Leona who gets countered by Janna .

id recomend champs like Annie annie still got that burst at low levels and a intanto aoe stun Blitzcrank blitz just hook nerds and knockes em up Brand damage for days while wtill haveing that stun and tons of poke Nami nami my baby got tons of poke heal and cc Morgana3 second stun plus spellshield and ult you got lots off cc and she plays just like she does mid just on a lower income Velkoz with that passive of his you'll do tons of damage while still building only supportesk items. his q slows e knock up and w poke for days not to mention his high ass damage ult. most of the time you'll top the damage charts Sona poke heal stun and speedboost sona got everything while still being able to do damage if you build the right items

Try karma supp, shes aggressive, and has a midlaner style kit, tons of diff builds, but very easy design. Im a tank main, so I build her tank utility (aegis, FH, rightoues glory, zekes), but you can do w/e you like.

Another quite simple support is malphite support, INCREDIBLY easy game plan, go relic shield, start 2-3 health 1-2 mana pots, max Q. If your enemy adc is near enough to Q, Q them (only do this 1-2 times before level 3), go Q,E,Q,W,Q,R..etc. Build full tank as fast as possible.

EwokSoldier1 votes

Try out Braum Brand Lulu Lux Morgana Karma

Hencho1011 votes

I main Braum and Thresh for support and i am a jg/top main. I find that Braum is a supper strong pick with his stun and an AOE knock up and slow + ways of keeping your ADC alive. On the other hand Thresh is a supper strong pick as well he has allot of ways to feed your ADC with a 99% slow i think and allot of ways to get them to and away from your AD he is a rly good support as well. Then the last one i can see for lock down like leo is Nautilus he has the most cc out of ANY champ in the game so if you like leo's lock down then pick up and play naut

EwokSoldier1 votes

I agree as well was just suggesting picks that he could feel comfortable with coming from mid lane centered type play style.

Hencho1011 votes

True but i'm not a bad fan of lulu, lux and brand support idk why but i don't and thresh, braum and naut are all ez to learn and play + they are some of the best supports in the game so no one will say "plz report lux for playing a mid laner as support" i've had this happen -_-

EwokSoldier1 votes

yea I can see where you are coming from I agree with what you say just was trying to provide supports with mid type play styles

Hencho1011 votes

If so then wheres annie?

OMG i can't believe i left her out lmao ..... AND ANNIE! Annie P.S. I hate annie lol (flash tibbers so effective)

I used to main mid before I switched to maining support. I cannot recommend Morgana more. She has a fairly slow moving straight line skillshot. Mid mains can hit this more often than not. A point and click spell shield speaks for itself. Her ult is a great tool for catching the enemy team. Give her a shot let me know how it goes.

Linthe1 votes

I think Morg better than Ori mid. Morg's W also helps with wave clear. I have been practicing Ori lately. She is quite fun but significantly harder to play than Morg.

Myz1 votes

Harder but better. Morg can barely do 1 rotation per teamfight with her huge cooldowns

alfavhunter1 votes

Morgana is good for mid top support and to an extent, a utility adc (melee will never touch her before they are dead late game)

She lacks mobility but does well for self peel and preventing CC on herself

She can also jungle

Ipressbutton1 votes

Top Nautilus and Mid Lulu are pretty good. Actually Lulu mid is very very good, especially if you enjoy the utility/support play style. Picking Lulu can be dependent on your team comp though

I disagree with the Nasus explanation, he has massive cc susan

Baron of Bread1 votes

Running Udyr jungle (or top but that is probably harder) can also be a great choice. You can pick and choose what you will turn into late game, be it magic damage AoE threat, physical single target threat, tanky stun machine or some combination of those. The peels are pretty good if you run an AP Bruiser type of setup with a Rylai's, just stand near your adc and slow anyone who comes over and then stun them when they get to close.

Also,

Anivia aoe damage aoe stun and single target nuke (if you can call her e a nuke) not to mention her wall she brings the controll the the fight all supports love

Heck yes you can call her E a nuke, 100% AP ratio with 350 base damage if done right.

Top : Amumu Braum Soraka TahmKench (Taric since the meditation change should be viable... need a try) mid : Annie Brand Janna Karma Lulu Lux Morgana Nidalee Sona Soraka Zyra Zilean Bot carry : Annie Brand Karma Lux Sona Soraka Thresh Jungle : Alistar Bard Kayle Nidalee Soraka TahmKench Support : Annie Brand Galio Kayle Mordekaiser Singed Teemo Urgot Velkoz Shen Ashe

Champions out of this list but with strong "support" capacities : Amumu Anivia Galio Maokai Nunu Rammus Singed Skarner Trundle

Hope it helps.

Support main as well.

TOP: Malphite Maokai Shen

MID: Xerath Anivia Karthus

JUNGLE: Gragas Amumu Sejuani

ADC: Ashe KogMaw Twitch

Given, that most of these I don't get to play in 1 out of 100 games due to the fact I am normally able to get Support or Top.

Chromatic Eagle1 votes

Karthus all you have to do is farm, and press R. Especially when you die. Sivir comp. Just group up boys. Veigar I know people complain about his E not being as effective, but it's still good at zoning people. In bronze, you'll catch people in them. Anivia is sleeper op. Lots of cc. Velkoz can be a great support, and as long as you mind your positioning, isn't bad in mid. Lux is an even better support, and a good mid laner. TahmKench ridiculously tanky, seems simple, and has utility.

MrWasjig1 votes

Funny you should mention Shen. Was playing a Ranked match last night where I was last pick and 1st took Support from me. So I chose Shen and ended up with more Assists than the Support themself xD

Also saying Mid Morg's shield isn't useful is nonsense. If you're against another AP MIdlaner consider plenty of damage denied and plenty of CC useless if you get ganked.

" although morgs spellshield wont always be usefull" against people like Talon Zed and Fiora its going to do next to nothing for you in lane unless the junler litteraly camps your lane and if thats the case your probebly freezing lane just infront of tower already

MrWasjig1 votes

Well in those matchups they're a problem she can't really deal with. It'll still negate Talon's and Zed's slow though. But other than that, no it won't help.

LordGeovanni1 votes

you cant even take naut into the jungle anymore he was taken bot and now they nerfed him so hard jungle for him is as bad as trying to take an adc or mage that isnt jungle meta. the multiple hits on his e was crucial but because they didnt like the damge it was doint in lane (which wasnt much cause subsiquent hits were reduced) just because the enemy cant learn not to flash along with his E

Onegarion1 votes

I'll follow suit and post my picks as a support main (Thresh Leona Nami Braum )

Top: Gnar Shen Vladimir

Mid: Ahri Lissandra Orianna
