almost anyone can be a support

[quote=sirell]I've seen [[vayne]], [[quinn]] and [[urgot]] as not-totally-uncommon top lane picks when it comes to ADCs. Sometimes the enemy top laner will be someone you can shutdown via ranged harass and become relatively useless, e.g. [[vayne]] against [[malphite]]. Other times the enemy team might pick a team comp that doesn't have a real tank. In other words, you have to pretty much outpick them during champ select. But back onto the original post, just think about it. Just run through the champions alphabetically and see how quick it takes you to stop on a champion that doesn't thrive as a support. [[aatrox]] - 'Feast or Famine' champion - needs as much gold as it can get for items as quickly as possible. Other than 1 hard CC and 1 soft CC ability, is completely kill-oriented. Clearly ill-suited to be a support. Well, that didn't take long. The list of potential supports most certainly ISN'T endless. I once had this discussion with Laggermeister about our top most ill-suited supports. [[master yi]] was at the top of the list.[/quote]

[quote=throatslasher]"Support Poppy is the best." Don't joke, It's entirely viable in bronze and silver if you have a plat/diamond level of play and an ADC on the same page. I ran it in a low bronze game and went 16-2 and had the most gold. If the adc takes barrier and has a brain, it's terrible.[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD][quote=throatslasher] and has a brain [/quote] That's quite rare though.[/quote]

[quote=Jimmydoggga 2.0]If you're a way higher ELO than the other people you're playing with nearly ANY assassin/mage champion can support. I mean you could Talon, Lissandra or Vi support if the enemy team didn't have a brain and wasn't anywhere close to your skill level.[/quote]

[quote=animorte]I have played non-traditional supports for a long time. I got tired of being forced into the support role AND my ADC being garbage so I would play someone like Pantheon. You could play him for poke or stun to kill. You start finding ways to expand every role to its limits when you play one enough.[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger]I have used Support [[Poppy]], [[Garen]], [[Xerath]], and [[Ahri]] before all the varying degrees of success.[/quote]

Or you take [[Teemo]] and wreck bot lane.[/quote]
