She Out-ranges and Out-damages you early, ban her every game in low elo, as she is picked more often down there than Zeri will be. However you will most likely outscale her unless she gets fed.
Zeri
Ban her outside of low-elo every game. She has a stronger Mid-game and better skirmishing power starting at level 6 and/or at first item. She simply outvalues you throughout the early and mid game. Look to outscale her!
Milio
Support that keep your lane phase and help you get better trades are amazing! Milio is a prime example due to his range increase making it easier for you to fight with Q plus the MASSIVE shields he provides. The rest are listed with far smaller explanations
Rakan
Good Engage, good healing with Q, decent Shielding. No ADC could ever complain about Rakan and neither can Smolder!
Alistar
The Sustain on lane, peel and CC make him one of the strongest Engage supps you can play with Smolder!
Braum
Safety, Peel, engage tools, a great choice with Smolder!
Nautilus
While I dislike hard engage supps with Smolder, Nautilus is just too good to have on the team so while the laning may be worse, he is amazing for the entire team and your lane will work out just fine with him as well as his tools allow him to get out of extended fights just fine.
Janna
She will keep you safe :)
Nami
Healing, CC, and more Damage for you! Nami is a good options with Smolder!
Renata Glasc
CC, Shields, Peel. Renata just like the other enchanters works quite nicely with Smolder!
Soraka
Healing, Peel, Poke, Soraka is another Enchanter that gives you everything you could want!
Thresh
What sets him apart is his engage doesn't have to be all in! His W is a good escape tool and his E is a nice way to get enemies off of you
Rell
She feels like Nautlius to me but worse...
Zyra
Amazing poke, good CC and the plants CAN set up your wave while keeping the enemies busy! Just hope the Zyra doesn't mess up your waves
Heimerdinger
It really depends on the skill of the Heimer to not mess up your waves.
Lulu
Probably one of the weaker enchanter options for Smolder but still good!
Senna
Her Q Healing and E put her above the rest when it comes to other poke supports. She can just kinda do her thing while you farm and feed her stacks.
Karma
There are just better ADCs to pick with poke supports and vice versa. However her shield and root are useful enough.
Seraphine
Just like the other poke supports! However she provides plenty utility!
Sona
This one REALLY depends on you AND the Sona player. I don't like her personally but I can't deny her utility and value
Swain
While the lane bullying potential can be nice and his E sets up for nice Stack collection, there are better options. Still decent tho imo
Tahm Kench
Good peel with Ult and the Q slow can be nice but that's kinda it.
Ashe
Smolder is NOT strong early, so Ashe's strong early game can't be capitalized on quite as well as it could be with other champs
Camille
Same as Ashe. Strong Early that Smolder cannot capitalize on.
Amumu
He is a hard engage champ, Smolder cannot capitalize on those all too well
Blitzcrank
Same reason as the likes of Amumu
Leona
Hard Engage, there are better ADCs to pick with Leona and vice versa.
Morgana
Her Root is great for free Damage! That's about it tho... Her black shield is neat!
Vel'Koz
Poke Mage, there are better options
Xerath
Poke Mage, there are just better options
Zilean
The Stun and speed ups are nice! But he is still a poke mage at the end of the day
Neeko
There are just better ADCs to pick with poke supports and vice versa ON TOP OF THAT she provides 0 utility besides damage
Pantheon
Pantheon is strong early and provides close to nothing for Smolder other than damage and a 1 sec Stun, Pantheon has to be one of the WORST choices with Smolder
Pyke
Strong early, falls of mid to late, not at all what you are looking for!
Shaco
Just, no. This champ can't work with Smolder, he messes up waves, wants cheesy engages, just no!
Twitch
No.
Yuumi
Yuumi is straight up useless.
