LoL 14.13 Support Champions Tier List: Best Ranked Picks

Blitzcrank has quickly fallen out of favor as it seems the meta has shifted towards tankier supports or utility-heavy enchanters. 

PROS: 

• Playmaking potential

CONS: 

• Hard to land hook
• Little-to-no tankiness
• Little-to-no utility

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. 

Thresh has been quickly replaced by other much stronger and tankier supports. Although you can find some usefulness in picking him, you'd be better off going for champions higher up on the list. 

Zyra has seen a lot of nerfs to her damage, as it seems players are preferring to play her as a jungler due to her fast clear speed.

PROS:

• Annoying poke damage

CONS:

• Very squishy
• Damage-first, support-second playstyle

Yuumi is seeing a lot more play due to her buffs, but she still struggles to keep up in terms of healing and utility. 

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

Neeko is somewhat decent, especially if you are able to effectively use her passive to outplay your enemies.

PROS:

• Great CC
• Teamfight-deciding ultimate

CONS:

• Can be tricky to pick up

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.

Maokai is once again setting foot in the bot lane, only this time his roots are not as deep as previously. 

PROS: 

• Great gank setup
• Decent tankiness

CONS: 

• Lack of damage
• Short range CC without ultimate

Taric can be very fun to play as hit kit coupled with his tankiness can help you get a slight edge over your lane opponents. 

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.

PROS:

• Very strong ultimate
• Decent healing and damage

CONS:

• Difficult to master

Lulu is lacking just slightly from being in the S-Tier, but her hypercarry-enabling kit can surely benefit most of the ADCs. 

PROS: 

• Great utility
• Decent lane harass

CONS:

• Needs to be paired with a hypercarry champion

Janna can be quite useful when dealing with heavy-engage comps as her kit can allow your carries to safely disengage from tough team fights.

PROS:

• Decent lane damage
• Great utility

CONS:

• Very vulnerable

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

PROS:

• Good damage
• Great utility

CONS:

• Very squishy

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
• Built-in tankiness

CONS:

• Long cooldowns on abilities can make him feel useless

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:

• Great tankiness
• Incredible CC
• Amazing lane presence

CONS:

• Can struggle against ranged bot lanes

Braum is one of the best defensive supports as you can ensure your hypercarries scale up nicely, especially when you fear getting dived and ganked constantly.

PROS: 

• Incredible utility
• Good CC
• Easy to play

CONS:

• Can struggle if behind

Nami is doing great as an enchanter, especially when paired up with a Lucian, you can easily win your lane and offer a lot in team fights.

PROS:

• Good CC
• Amazing pressure in lane

CONS:

• Difficult to land CC

Pyke has once again become a menace not only due to his annoying hooks but also his incredible roaming capabilities

PROS:

• Great snowballing champion
• Very aggressive and proactive playstyle 
• Best roaming champion

CONS:

• Can struggle against poke-heavy comps

Frontline supports are back in action, and Naut is no stranger to being one of the best CC champions in the bot lane. 

PROS:

• Tons of CC
• Built-in tankiness

CONS:

• Can struggle against poke teams

Leona is simply a much better Nautilus as not only is she much more tankier than most support champions, but the amount of CC she has can be outright disgusting. 

PROS:

• Very tanky
• Amazing engage
• Peeling is off the charts

CONS:

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

Karma is surprisingly good after her buffs in 14.12, as she is still a very strong enchanter pick.

• Great utility
• Very fun to play
• Good laning phase

CONS:

• Requires a good frontline to shine
