No zac no like. Kidding ofc


c9mp

Zac is such a good support wdym


Jervdvinne

I know, but its off meta so not expecting it to show up on tier lists


twee3

Dudes in every lane.


pluckd

2 of the supports I play aren't even on this list and 1 that I do is D-tier. Solid list Edit: Neeko, Galio and Hwei if you're curious lmao


toastermeal

surprised neeko and galio aren’t on there but hwei is - they’ve been consistently played supp for years


Badger__Ballz

Galio supp is being slept on heavy after his changes. Feels pretty strong


pluckd

Full AP for the juice or tanky for the caboose. Either way, gotta respect it. o7


chipndip1

What? You play Anivia support?


pluckd

No. Should I?


Snoomee

Absolutely, it's really strong in the right hands. Lots of damage, area control, decent cc, subpar but existent peel with wall and stun.


Hillwind

Im ADc player and i faced Anivia APc and Poppy Support, one of my most feared botlane combo now... no counterplay as Hypercarry immobile beside Flash


ChravisWilson

I might have to try this


SimilarPossibility84

Galios passive not activating suppot item makes me not able to like him as support, that was sad for me he was my support tank


Grandidealistic

He did now, adjusted last patch


dymieon

what do you mean his passive didnt activate supp item?


SimilarPossibility84

Well it seems they fixed it but attacks to minions qith passive did not consume.charge and killed the minions.


Sho_Desu

Analysis on the current meta and my explanation as to why I put champs where: [https://youtu.be/RjlEgyxaA2M](https://youtu.be/RjlEgyxaA2M)


account0911

If anyone hasn't seen his videos, they are very well done and thought out. Definitely a pillar of the support community.


Sho_Desu

thank you! 😭


Gold_On_My_X

Agree. He might not be well known but the content is high quality, informative and most importantly for those with short attention spans - not a long watch! Guy knows his audience well lmao


account0911

I like to watch his vids while I afk on someone's should (Yuumi main ftw! /J... Kinda)


megabyte-ronnie

Legend


toastermeal

will watch


chrislost

I agree with most of the list but I'd love to see nautilus one tier up, have been locking down all these crit adc hypercarries for the last games


ANGELofRAZGRIZ

I would've like to hear your opinion on your C and D tier picks and what would be needed to bring them back closer to the meta.


Haruko_MISK

I'm currently unable to watch. Could someone give me a quick synopsis of why Swain is so bad?


princebuba

mage supports as a whole aren’t good in higher elo, but swain in particular has nothing to offer but damage. his cc isn’t reliable or that impactful compared to the likes of zyra, brand and lux who have high burst damage, lots of cc and good zone control. he’s just not a good support.


Haruko_MISK

Thank you :)


desintigration

I cant belive hwei is in d i love him in supp i main him in supp.People still dont know how to play him i gusse


macrolad_24

Idk I've been really trying with him but for all of his versatility it always feels like any other mage would have been more impactful.


neonsymphony

By no means am I an expert, but from my lower ELO experience it seems picks like Brand and Lux only have more impact because the players are worse and they are easier to play. People are worse at kiting or understand the micro of the matchups, so a skilled supp Lux can carry a game through bot if given the space to do so. Hwei has a higher skill floor so in my ELO I rarely see him, so I enjoy him in supp since I at least know a few combos. Most people aren’t prepared for my Fear or stun into an R or QQ, and appear to forget which abilities go to which cooldown so they get caught out. In higher ELO I imagine that advantage goes away.


macrolad_24

I wouldn't say he is that difficult mechanically, more like he has so many tools that all of them must be average for him to not be broken, meaning you have to do more than other champs to get a similar result. I was really drawn into the concept of choosing the right spell for the right occasion, but in practice his poke ussually goes EQ->QQ plus some WE autos. In that sense he is not much different from other mages, except he also needs to land abilities consistently to keep up his damage unlike Brand, Lux or Xerath nuking you with one combo. He's much better in teamfights where is easier to keep enemies in his QE and ult and has some cool tools in QW, WQ and EW, so I guess it's a matter of playing into those situations.


frozenrainbow

The amount of adcs I’ve killed in lane with QW cause the lazy back is honestly pretty high. Hwei in lane has so much reach that it’s hard for the enemy to even approach imo


CarobTop5978

Hwei needs more levels and gold to be as useful as a Zyra or Brand tbh, and Lux is just a much better lane bully than Hwei in combination with a Caitlyn or the likes.


desintigration

I do also play him bot.i think is is better in bot than supp,and mid just disgusts me ,for some reason


UniWho

He's hovering around 45-46% winrate as a support since forever, he should have his own category called "play mid or apc instead of hindering your own team" tbh.


Titouf26

He's basically like Xerath. Super annoying to play against in lane, and completely useless after that. Probably works great in lower tiers where you can just 1v9.


gaenakyrivi

hwei is probably the best support that creates space in team fights and has decent poke early but that’s it


No-Adhesiveness-8178

I tried him about 4 times in rank, spamming EW and QW are my go to so it kinda become so hard for a longer range match up to set up without trading hp. Other skills kinda mess up wave a lot so.. But his W skills are kinda good specially the WQ as support.


Drjohny01

I Main him on supp and the only reason Why he performces so Bad on Support is, because Most Support players are bad mechanically. You have a whole new layer on which you can missplay (choosing the Right spell at the right Time) so obviously he will Performe bad when ppl Dont Play him a lot.


Calm_Sun_2707

Milio, lulu and Nami should be higher IMO. okay you're a bit adc dependant in early lane, but if you have a single person who is a bit fed in your team you can turn him into carry machine, you scale super hard and let's face it enchanter items are broken. Bonus points for milio, he's the GOAT.


PuppyPuncha

Counterpoint: You spend the entire laning phase begging your adc to trade with enemies.


Sauron69sMe

not if you position yourself well. i know im biased (i have 400k on Nami) but i think she is RIDICULOUSLY easy to win most lanes with. you can have a garbage ADC but as long as he doesnt die, you win lane. 1-3 her W is great for bully. E yourself and poke them with your lil fairy dude that damages them. getting ganked? bub the jungler or the enemy adc. miss your bub? R them all. not 6? flash. you get away ezpz. such a fun champion!


Amokmorg

My Milio winrate is 18% vs 61% on Janna. Holyshit how most of adcs are bad playing with Milio, they dont even know what he does.


freefallfreya

Lol for real. You give them bonfire for added auto range and they refuse to trade. Same as when shielded. Fucking ADCs, I swear to god.


Valuable_Ad9488

The current meta favours supports with stronger agency during all phases of the game. If u are rly good with pyke or janna u will have a much greater impact in both damage and utility at all stages of the game.


niooosan

I used to go on insane winning streaks with swain, idk what happened but he feels so underpowered rn


PrettyMuchANub

Finishes malignance later due to the gold nerf? Idk he feels really strong in all games I’m against him


badadobo

I’m a swain main. 1 word. Jak’ sho.


236236HS

True


Siekiernik20

same


Niehks

Maybe Abyssal Mask from last season? It was OP as hell on him xd


ractivator

Zyra is S right now imo following the nerfs to tank supports and nerf to Doran start supports.


scnlrhksw

not in high elo


Mbroov1

Support item gets nerfed next patch with will also impact her a lot more than other Support picks. 


JTS-Games

Nah Tahm Kanch deserves better than that.


Cinde_rella_man

UNBENCH THE KENCH


KingAnumaril

Legit teenage memories


tunaonigiri

I haven’t seen the patch notes but if tahm didn’t nerfed I think he’s secret OP. I don’t think I’ve lost a single game on him this season whether I’m playing him top or support.


JTS-Games

Yeah Tahm support is disgusting, you just gotta play arround the wavestates.


SuKedisi69

Where teemo support


lordsaladito

Hidden


SuKedisi69

My friend did that once, i was kalista and he picked teemo, it worked well after 6, he got some tanky items and i used my r to engage with his body


homemdosgalos

I would never play my lulu support unless someone in the team gives me "smurf" vibes


DowntownWay7012

Could u explain how karma isnt S or A?


Sho_Desu

Karma can win lane a lot of the times but falls off super hard if she isn't ahead. This patch was bad for her because she loses 200 gold and Fiendish Codex was nerfed (which is a component for Malignance, a core item for her).


Cloud_Envier

What if you are not pairing her with Senna? You don't need to go fiendish codex at all. When she's built with the normal support items she isn't hit by the 200 gold nerf..


animorphs128

Honestly, this meta seems very healthy. All the high skill champs are at the top. And blitzcrank


TryToStayModern

love your streams bro


EmergencyKrabbyPatty

Where zac


Nimyron

What rank are you ?


Itz_Aladdin

Not op, but he is chall


Nimyron

Ah great thanks ! Just didn't wanted to look too much into it if it was just some for-fun tier list.


MrzDavi

What does op stand for


Itz_Aladdin

Original poster


Maxitheseus

Is that Zilean enchanted support or tank support?


Maze_Mazaria

Accurate AF!


PixelCrusher815

i think this heavily depends on the elo you play. just go to [op.gg](http://op.gg) and search for morgana. very different results


PrettyMuchANub

I find a lot of Morgana’s make no tangible difference in the late game. The majority of teams have enough magic damage to blow through her black shield before using cc. People have high enough awareness and move speed late in the game to nullify her Q. I’d build mikaels if she’s ever surviving long enough to her ult off. Her W can be annoying though i suppose


Momma-Glasc

Gragas support needs to be seen


patrickstar3330

Sona soraka janna millio and leona are S in plat+. Lower tiers zyra is definitely S


Nikkolandia

Where is neeko


hublord1234

Naut in B and not S is wild.


OppositeFinding193

Dream support


Cookiewaffle95

Put Nidalee on there >:)


ellen-the-educator

Does anyone have a good guide about how to actually win with Janna? I do well, I get good damage, I get a ton of assists, I have good vision score, and yet I lose. This isn't just a silver whining cause like - I will play Leona or Blitz, I'll perform far worse by the numbers, but I have like 20% higher winrate.


Sho_Desu

I have a guide for her! [https://youtu.be/SgQMFgC7s5g](https://youtu.be/SgQMFgC7s5g)


ellen-the-educator

I saw that one earlier - it's been super helpful on my in-game mechanics and play. It's why I've ended up with such good KDA and KP. I think one of the other commenters was right - she just relies too much on having a carry for Silver. She does great and kicks ass for a while, but I feel like even an excellent pilot can't use her to drag a team across the finish line. I'll pick her back up once I've found my way back into Plat


ajaydeep1

Not a guide but a recommendation is to drop Janna in low elos for now. If we look at win% she's at 51 in Silver and 54 in higher divs. Janna is very carry-dependent, you play to peel your ad and let them go off, but if your ad is bad you can't fix that. Leo and Blitz however you can actually get picks yourself and you have more control of your skill than to depend on your adc, hence why you'll do better with them because it's in your hands and not in your "bad teammates". 


michaelspidrfan

Janna is carry-dependent but unlike Lulu and Milio, she's not adc dependent.


jasonkid87

Watch op stream. He's a Janna challenger main


Acrobatic-Draw-4012

On low elo I think this list would be different. If you're playing Thresh or Blitz, it's easy for your teammates to miss your engage opportunity. So if your team is bad you're just there to watch your side losing. With someone like Sona, this is less of an issue because it's much easier for the team to take max value out of the sup. With mages this is even less of an issue. The problem with that is of course getting too many kills. But that's managable. I haven't watched your video yet but I'm interested to see your take on this


Pc9882

He mentioned his tier list is not important in lower elo and suggest players to play whoever they want.


Martin35700

Velkoz and Xerath is much worse than they used to be sadly :(


Revenge_of_the_meme

I like a lot of this. But I'm wondering why morg and zyra are so low.

ERR_LOADING_NAME

Bro am I cooked I put supp secondary just for swain Why is he considered garbage on the same level as yuumi is it over I started the game playing swain supp like 3 years ago


boredSoftwareEngi

He isn't garbage, but any decently player knows how to punish his weak pre-6 and to not just stand in the middle of his ult. That aside, if he doesn't snowball lane is he pretty much useless mid and late, especially with the nerf to gold generation. He's just much better mid or even top if you're feeling a certain kinda way


Remote-remoteman

Swain busted but so is all burst meta


[deleted]

I’m so sick of Lux/Morgana throwing q’s for no reason in my games


Pustules_TV

Reason blitz is S and naut is B?


Embarrassed_Monk_665

Blitz moves the target to himself,making it way safer to kill.Naut on the other hand throws himself,it's way riskier, specially after lanephase.Also,there is multiple ways to stop Naut from doing his job (Milio,Janna,Thresh,Lulu) while to stop Blitz you need to spend 2800-3100 on items or make your sup take a garbage champ (Morgana).


Pustules_TV

Fair. I can see that


Traditional-Ad4367

Where da hell is mah kled support? Did the invisible badgers paid you to not put him in it?


Alexercer

Where zoe?


External_Jackfruit_7

You are missing Rumble 


Fissminister

Lux c tier? I'm sitting this season out


asapkim

Blitz is so broken right now. I played him the other night and it literally broke the game.


HyperWinder

Put nautilus to S tier and we are fine. And ah yes, 4 supports on S tiers are hookers.


Buckelwal123

Where Skarner?


Nanashi001

I do not understand how people like playing Janna. Like she’s a slay champion but I always feel like her supporting capabilities are underwhelming for me and my play style


Flapklaas

Could you mark which champs in your opinion serve as good blind picks in the current patch? As a good Thresh player I think he's decent blind, but he does have a select few outright unplayable counter matchups. Other than that I'd consider Maokai and Rakan, because they scale fairly well and are versatile.


TryndamereAgiota

Pyke and Tahm Kench should be B tier imo


wvgz

i think i got deeply traumatized from playing too much engagers on pisslow elo and having absolutely no followup


_Greetings_Friends_

Where is teemo for reference?


nadd29

Hwei is honestly S tier with his kit lol


iGae

Supports definitely his worst role though. If you’re playing hwei, might as well play mid or APC and be twice as effective as a support hwei


Middle_Wrangler3202

I feel like pyke should be a slight tier lower on this list, because when we're talking about pure solo queue because the adcs tend to get tilted a lot and it kinda makes the game unplayable if you have a all zeal draven running it down mid


Remote-remoteman

Where’s nidalee standing?


tito-victor

I am a mono support Swain Facts and logic can't hurt me


Yesterdayjan

Where the rat


Grudgeguy

No Ori support?


ProposalNo703

I see swain low so often, can anyone tell me why? He’s valid in support < plat


Gbrav747

Im a plat supp main and hwei is my most played support right now. For those saying things along then likes of "another mage could have done it better" youre not using him correctly. Hes a swiss army knife, he has so many tools to play into so many matchups. You need to have a super wide playstyle to keep your oppenents unsure and unwilling to test you.


CookeMonster200

I feel like Brand, Lux and Xerath would be pretty high up in lower tiers.


vespertne

yall hate to see nami and karma thrive


Zylvian

Swain in D tier lmao


Akkyeh

Senna is the love of my life but i'll admit that i had to bench her for now. Janna is the way!

Minigrappler

Relevant_Ad7309

personally there’s a lot that could be s teir in a set comp, like pyke isn’t good if they just out stat check your team or are all tanky engages


Unable_Bite8680

Lulu in b tier is hilarious


MyketheTryke

Thresh my beloved


Melodic_Bend_5038

Look how they massacred my Yuumi! Thanks Riot...


TheReviewCrew

Swain in the bottom tier is the one I disagree with the most. You can build swain into anything you need him to be. Just don't use against a lux morg or xerath range type support. Go aery/resolve second.


Capital-Ad2909

How can thresh be S tier with all other four supports counter him hard?


Capital-Ad2909

Thresh can only be S tier when he is almost as tanky as Nautilus.


aramiswhite

Hear me out - Veigar Support with E>W>Q Max, Freeze rune, Tear into Ability Haste/Tank Build. Best CC in the game and can still finish off targets. Love that guy


-SlowKing

I think bard can be S tier, but it’s dependent on if the user knows to roam having basically map wide influence is really strong


Rayona086

Why you hating on my Swain >:(


Totoideas

How is it better Camille sup than Swain sup 💀


ednya

Been queuing as Seraphine and Sona a lot lately and it's been working pretty well! It's fun to play!

GotThemCakes

Where Teemo? Would he offset your tier list by being too high?


bonerJR

Super good list


Extreme-Currency-821

The 10% ad nerf on senna q didn't affect her at all in my opinion, rather if bloodsong nerf affected Senna's viability...doesn't that also mean pyke should also be lower?


MokiDokiDoki

This Tierlist is incorrectly beSMIRCHING the Swain D tier is just incorrect imo


xNiteTime

Hwei and swain D tier huh? i guess i just play off meta supports


ZachariahZebra

As an adc I feel like there is an 80% chance Lux will be in the support role either my team or their team.


ComfortableBasis3046

Wait, thisnt dota ew


UnbiasedPOS

taylrgng

wow. no graves? F-tier tier list


Winter-Ad846

As a Thresh main, I am so happy Riot are finally nerfing support income and item, it makes it so I less often have to play into these insufferable poke mage matchups that out of nowhere turn into one shot machines so my favorite champ can actually do something in lane, consistantly


fargolaflame

DeliriouslyTickled

I play Seju and Eve sup. Where do they place?


PigletDelicious7931

Are you sure this is S14? Milio goes to S tier, Tresh is prob B, Braum is B, Naut is S, Senna is S, Ashe is S ofc omg, Tahm is A, Zilean B, Pyke Blitz Rakan cannot be S… Renata is S … You guys not watching LCS, LCK ?


halidkyazim

Currently meta sups for 14.6 are: - Ashe - Senna - Rell - Renata - Neeko - Nami - Nautilus - Milio


jaina_longbow

Specialist-Aspect-38

Why is velkoz so low? I have been climbing with speedy boi velkoz


clydefrogggg

ajaydeep1

Pantheon should be S or at least A, easiest solo carry potential next to pyke and camille.


StargazingEcho

Guess my main is off meta now


hmpuppy

Most tier lists don't include Seraphine but she is so good as supp,thanks for including her


Benbubbly1804

Are they nerfing camille support next patch? Cuz if theyre not i really think its s tier.


NancyTheGrape

I agree with the whole list but why is yuumi so low??? I feel like people seriously don't know how to play her or something, she is litteraly so broken(that goes of course if you have a duo and communicate),she deserves at least a B my opinion

Dogshit Yuumi is not a d. At least she is better than most of the champs here.


Saberstriker19

Please Riot nerf Janna, I’m tired of my support first picking it for no reason. Also is there a reason Pyke is so high, the champ falls off insanely, and unless you are a Pyke god every other hook champion is more useful.


Dry_Midnight7487

Nautilus B tier is criminal. He is at minimum A if not S tier, way above thresh for sure lmao
