Depends on the kind of lane you are looking for. If you have an offensive, bursty ADC like Corki, Draven, or [graves]], you would look for a support that could set up kills well, where as less bursty champions like Ashe would just like a defensive farm lane.

In my list below, you will notice that several of the supports are mentioned twice and will be denoted with a * if they do.

My support list for kill lanes:
Taric, Leona, Sona*, Alistar*, Pantheon, Zyra*, Blitzcrank, Lux, Maokai, Morgana, Nami*

My support list for poke lanes:
Soraka* (with casters like urgot), Lulu, Nidalee, Sona*, Zyra (not as viable as kill lane)*, Nunu & Willump, Zilean,

My support list for farm lanes:
Soraka*, Janna, Alistar*, Kayle, Nami*

Just some things i thought of off the top of my head.

Just play Taric, super agressive, people don't know how to play against that.
Or Nunu, both of them are so easy to play and at the same time so good at their role.

Zyra makes a good support because she has a good stun and phenominal harass that cant be stopped by minions. Both of her major abilities are minion proof and can hit both enemy bot owners and her ult works great to ensure tanks or ensure a kill for your adc.

she doesn't have a stun


harass that cant be stopped by minions.

until her plants attack minions


her ult works great to ensure tanks


I don't think this is even a complete thought

So big post inc: read what you want

Viable Supports:

Lulu, Zyra, Sona, [Soraka]], Janna, Nunu & Willump, Fiddlesticks, Leona, Alistar, Nami, Blitzcrank, Taric

Fringe supports: (meaning viable but not often seen)
Lux, Gragas, Elise, Maokai, Morgana

Of all those, I don't think many people would disagree when I say the strongest supports are generally, Zyra, Lulu, and Sona; atleast right now. Nunu & Willump is also insanely strong because of Blood Boil, but I would say thats more of an ADC match up, some ADC's benefit much more than others.

Good match-ups: these are my personal preferences when picking a support based off an AD

Ashe - Soraka, Janna, Zyra
Caitlyn - Nunu & Willump, Zyra, Lulu
Corki - Leona, Sona, Taric
Draven - Fiddlesticks, Leona, Taric
Ezreal - Sona, Lulu, Soraka
Graves - Sona, Taric, Soraka
Kog'Maw - Zyra, Nunu & Willump, Soraka
Miss Fortune - Taric, Nunu & Willump, Nami
Sivir - Taric, Alistar, Nami
Tristana - Leona, Sona, Taric
Twitch - Lulu, Nunu & Willump, Fiddlesticks
Urgot - Soraka, Lulu, Taric
Varus - Leona, Zyra, Nunu & Willump
Vayne - Nunu & Willump, Soraka

But, just because a champion on here doesn't mean others won't work. I have Soraka on here alot, but in all honesty, I think she is one of the weakest supports right now. So just because a champion is on here a lot or for a certain match-up doesn't mean you should do it

Yeah I was typing everything on the wife's kindle while she was in surgery, so im sure everything i said seemed like a garbled mess. It has some awful auto correct habits.

As much as Sona is recommended, I'd honestly be careful picking her right now. She's just so squishy, so if you're not careful the enemies will just blow you up repeatedly. Do not pick her into high burst bottom lanes, such as Graves/ Leona.

Zyra support is viable largely due to her root being able to effect multiple targets (better than Lux's), her free-ward-ish seeds, and the AoE knockup on her ult. The recent nerfs to her MS and missile speeds really hurt, though.

I'm pretty in favor of Lulu for pretty much every ADC right now. She's a very solid support and works well with most teamcomps for the entire game.

I'd add Leona to Moon's list of strong supports, as well. She's harder to play and only works with ADCs who can burst to trigger her passive multiple times in quick succession, but she is very strong in those matchups where she performs well and ADCs she works well with tend to be more popular anyway.
