I kinda feel sad that no one mentioned my gurl Karma. She may not have a ''ult'' like Sona or Morgana but damn, she can have high burst with Inner Flame and Mantra early game, as well as the fact that she can shield the whole team and give them movement speed (basically a substitute for Shurelya's Battlesong). Basically all in one, right? Well she ain't no tank tho xd
I do say that she can burst me down when I play sona, but most of the time i find that some karma players think they can kill sona before she can ult... and tend to lose... the good players are hella scary though ! from what it looks like you are one of the good ones that would beat me!
Well, of course, a good Sona can surely make Karma's life miserable if played correctly, but pretty much every champion in the hands of someone who knows how to play them is a deadly weapon, no? Thanks for saying that I'm a good Karma tho, you made me blush :3
Thresh would be my pick. Unfortunately I suck at this game so I can't properly play him and I play other supports more fit for me. I enjoy all supports in general.
I'm not one to follow the meta, so this will seem weird. I tend to go ahri support with my own runes and build set, always won my matches if she wasn't banned.
Tahm Kench! Always unbench the Kench. He provides a lot of safety / skirmish potential with his Devour and his ult Devour allows him to set up so many plays!
If you team him up with champions like Caitlyn or Jinx, you can devour an enemy into a Yordle Snap Trap or Flame Chompers! to get an easy kill!
Then there's also Nautilus, I just love throwing my anchor in peoples faces!
Rakan. I mean, what else could your ask for in a support (if you build him AP)? He's got engages. He's got tankiness (Passive). He's got 900+ heals and shields. What more could you ask for?
Personally, I didn't like the Xayah Rakan bot lane last patch. Everthing became too easy. Just land a knockup and auto the guy for 2 seconds and that's First Blood.
Agreed. Taric is one of the strongest supports right now, because of his versatile kit. Other supports I enjoy are Leona Braum Blitzcrank and Thresh. Basically any CC tank.
Super biased, but the best support imo is Sona. Literally has everything you would possibly need is in her kit. She also has so many options in her build, like full ap (probably my favorite}, full heal, and a lot more. Playing her is super addicting, and easy to carry on.
I played sona for the past two days now as support and i can say i still love her <3 my duo told me to take ignite and build more mage than support and see what would happen... i think people where scared of bushes after my multiple flash ults XD
She was my first support I played and I love her and love the fact she cam play mid, lately I find to many people poke her down easy so im not using her as much but i still love her!
There's certain champs that she gets poked down by, but doing well with her is mostly positioning. Her Q has a very large range, so if you know it, there is a lot of times where people are barely in the range, but it is easy to capitalize off of. There's only 2 parts of Sona's entire kit that are semi challenging, which are her ranges, and using her Power Chord effectively.
If you team him up with champions like
Then there's also
Hope this helps,
