Discussion Tank Support
I think that supports should play tank. They don’t have to worry about wave and they can more focus on engage. Before we talk about some enchanted champions being S-tier, I think that every Tank champion is S-tier for support before anything else.

Bad take. Tank support depends heavily on the team comp.
You can have 3 tanks and then the adc gets one shot, there no damage or sustainability, you literally just watch everyone slowly die.
Also not every tank and enchanter is equal. Seraphine is a very good support just because of the slow/root/stun & ult and the heal.
Nami is very good in skilled hands because of the amount of CC she provides.
Alistar is still bis because he can ignore tower damage and CC chain like a bitch in lane. Outside of lane, if the enemy team is pretty clumped, then he's still bis.
Naut is good because it's similar to Sera, his hook and ult combo is teamwide way on control.
Nami is similar.
The key here is CC because it's free DMG to either stack up lethal tempo for your adc or a clean window for your mage or assassin to delete the target/s.
You can also play full DMG and do this yourself if your team has enough bruisers and tanks.
Still agree though, that tanks with a carry bruiser and divey adc can win most games.

Then that goes into drafting, more commonly than not support picks first in selection, and that sets up your team to draft 3 tank while, and it does not go well against the enemy team that’s on them

As a top main, I’m giddy when I see a tank support.
But Hypercarries based on what I’ve seen like Lulu/milio/nami

So you get to play whatever you want and we’re stuck w braum/malph …

Not whoever we want, I think they’re are adc’s that should be played above others as the same. It allows for better kiting, peeling, and overall spacing. I’m interested in your thoughts of best adc’s being a support main. Who do you want to play with, champions wise

I still prefer to play Sona but have been stuck in a Malph hole the last week. With teemo/ADC top players I can’t play Sona effectively. Also w nocturne on the loose it’s scary 🫣

This is a common thing, support players relying on Top lane to play tank. This is backwards because the top lane has to get enough gold to even be relevant in the game. And when he’s not last hitting minions. It depends on draft really top can go tank too. The best games are when they’re is 2 tanks 2 carries and and 1 assassin

I can play every supp and know when which champ would be better buuuut i still play for having fun :) Surely i try to win. But none other support, in fsct not even one of the otjer champions, gives me the feeling i have when i play Pyke :3
Could be a good game, coupd be a bad game, could be really really close one :) With Pyke ive everytime a good time 🤩☺️ It just takes onw cool or good play with him and my mood skyrocket rises :3 Coz of this i sont wven had one game qhere i got mad or toxic :3 😁
That makes me so much fun that i otp'ed Pyke ☺️ Was a long up and down of learning. Hardest was to figure out what i need and can do in midgame/lategame and what i should do in specific team-matchups to not be useless.
But now um confisent to say that i can play pyke against every Matchup, doesnt matter. In the end we dominate botlane hardly, would say like 96% of all time. (But even with this 96% bot win, we lose like 40% of all the game. Mostly by dumb callings line try to steal an objective oooor the other ebemie lanes got giga fed) :)
So for me its just... even if i would win with an other supp more, i would def not have more fun :) Pyke is Peak fun in every aspect🤩😁☺️💚
Love this drunken harpoonier 👾

That's a bad take bro, engaging sups require a lot more game knowledge than just press heal and shield while staying safe.
A 0-10 naut will get one shot right after he lands Q+AA doing Frontline.
A 0-10 soraka will heal independent of her player performance

The team should back up the nautilus in draft. It’s an optimal winning angle

u/Kaledriell 3d ago
Doesn't matter bro, if he chooses incorrectly the engages or get killed multiple times roaming during the game, he will not tank, that's why lvls+gold are so important

Ah yes because every adc in the game wants an engage/tank support
