Tier List Explanation

This tier list will examine some of the most-played League of Legends champions in the support role.

  • D-Tier: You should avoid playing these champions as much as possible.
  • C-Tier: Although they can be somewhat decent, you are better off with other picks.
  • B-Tier: Viable and reliable in most situations, you can manage rather decently.
  • A-Tier: Great options but lacking just slightly either in terms of damage or utility.
  • S-Tier: The best champions you can use to ensure you are always victorious.

NOTE: Although this tier list strives to be as objective as possible in terms of viability, you should not limit yourself to strictly adhere to this list, but rather experiment and see which champion feels fun to play with.

Nautilus

Nautilus has sunken deep into the pit of irrelevancy as this CC-heavy champion does not cut it when compared with enchanters.

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

Swain

Swain

Although Swain can struggle in most matchups, there is some use to his power if your team is lacking a bit of AP damage.

Senna

  • Great scaling

CONS:

  • Slow damage and range buildup
  • Low damage
Lux

Lux

Lux can be decent when paired with a long-ranged poke ADC.

  • Great damage
  • Amazing engage

Sona

Sona

Sona has finally risen to the top as she has been struggling for quite some time now. Hopefully, she will become more popular as her kit offers tons of utility.

  • Very beneficial utility
