• D-Tier Champions
• C-Tier Champions
• B-Tier Champions
• A-Tier Champions
• S-Tier Champions
• Best Support Champions Summary

Yuumi is at the bottom of the list as Riot has heavily butchered her utility, healing, and damage, making her very weak in comparison to other supports.

PROS: 

• Easy to play

CONS: 

• Insufficient healing
• Low utility
• Mana problems

Lux is just not as powerful as before. Her pokle can be quite annoying, however, her relevancy falls off as the current meta favors enchanters or heavy-dive supports.

Although Morgana can be quite a good way to counter CC-heavy enemy comps, she is not as viable on the other fronts as her ultimate is very difficult to efficiently use. 

Ashe can be useful in very lane-aggressive and poke comps, however, you will struggle to efficiently use her come late game. 

Nautilus is steadily swimming to the top, however this beloved CC machine is not as viable as other much stronger supports. 

Senna is starting to pick up speed, however, the nerfs to her passive stacks has ultimately narrowed down her window of opportunity to present a decent fighting chance.

PROS:

• Great scaling

CONS:

• Slow damage and range buildup
• Low damage

Brand is still not as strong as before, and although his damage can be quite oppressive once he gets 1-2 items, his lack of utility can make your ADC suffer in team fights. 

Pantheon is still weak as an aggressive engage support, given how much he relies on Lethality items.

PROS: 

• Good damage
• Great roaming potential with ultimate

CONS:

• Needs items to pop off
• Very greedy playstyle

Rakan is a great option if your team lacks direct engage, as you can easily set up your team for success in crucial team fights.

PROS:

• Great CC
• Amazing setup

CONS:

• Needs decent followup 

Xerath has been seeing some play given how powerful his long-ranged poke can be when laning against short-ranged comps or when contesting objectives early into the game. 

Despite Riot's attempts to make Camille a top lane champion first, she is still quite the threat in the bot lane as well.

PROS:

• Great damage
• Amazing engage

CONS:

• Lack of utility
• Lack of crowd control

Renata can be a great pick if you are looking for fight-oriented champions, especially when paired with a Kalista.

PROS: 

• Great gank setup
• Decent tankiness

CONS: 

• Lack of damage
• Short range CC without ultimate

Bard is making a comeback, as his playstyle promotes a heavy roam-oriented strategy where you are constantly collecting chimes and helping out either your laners or jungler.

• Very strong ultimate
• Decent healing and damage

CONS:

• Difficult to master

Lulu has fallen off slightly from the tier list, however, she still remains a great hypercarry enabler.

Alistar has been unchained for quite some time given how much you can impact any skirmish or team fight.

PROS:

• Super engage potential
• Incredible team fighting durability and viability

Seraphine has finally found her sweet spot with Riot devs being able to balance her kit to fit the support role.

CONS:

• Very squishy

Janna still remains one of the best enchanters and anti-engage champions to play as a support.

PROS:

• Great CC
• Good shield and healing
• Very beneficial utility

CONS:

• Lack of engage

Since Rell is now a support champion only, her kit is still incredible for jumping on the enemy bot lane and team overall as she has some of the strongest engage tools on the Rift.

PROS:

CONS:

• Needs decent follow up to set up good team fights with her kit

• Can fall behind if the enemy team plays more defensively
