Riot Games

It's time for the Support Lane Tier List, ranking League of Legends champions from best to worst in the current Patch 14.9. This guide will assist you in climbing Ranked effortlessly by selecting the most powerful supports in LoL. 

With the support meta undergoing another shift by Riot Games, here are the top Support Picks for Ranked in League of Legends Season 14, Patch 14.9.  Stay updated to dominate your games with the strongest champions in the bot lane. 

S+ Tier Support Champions:

Blitzcrank

Blitzcrank

Blitzcrank is a great pick if you would like to make your enemy team dread stepping up to your ADC. Your hook can decide a fight in a matter of seconds so practice your skillshots with this strong pick.

Pyke

Pyke

Pyke has risen to the top as it seems his kit is even stronger with the current support items, as his roaming capabilities can easily turn the tide in skirmishes around Voidgrubs.

Janna

Janna

Janna has become a staple enchanter support as Riot has returned some of her agency, making her a reliable pick to allow your ADC to survive ganks and 2v2s.

Thresh

Thresh

Thresh is once again a staple pick in the bot lane as his kit enables a lot of playmaking champions to play aggressively, especially around objectives or tower dives.

S-Tier Support Champions:

Braum

Braum

Braum is picking up the pace in terms or win rate so if you are looking for a new main, then look no further.

Sona

Sona

Sona is seeing even more play after her changes, making her quite the strong enchanter so you can try her out for some easy wins. 

Leona

Leona

Leona is slowly coming back into relevancy as the tower diving potential is even greater this time around given the new map terrain changes.

Nami

Nami

Nami has seen some buffs in Patch 14.7 so she has become a more viable enchanter.

A-Tier Support Champions:

Renata Glasc

Renata Glasc

Renata is once again climbing up the ladder, as her utility and well-rounded kit make her a very rewarding support, especially when faced against immobile opponents.

Brand

Brand

Brand is once again climbing up the ranks in the bot lane. His damage and item optimization make up for a quite efficient and powerful support that can effectively negate any overly-aggressive players.

Zilean

Zilean

Zilean is very strong, and what possibly sets back this champion is the fact that his kit is not very fun to play. 

Bard

Bard

Bard has always been a difficult champion to place tier-wise. He is excellent at roaming and can offer a lot of great engage or disengage options, however, he has a rather steep learning curve.

B-Tier Support Champions:

Amumu

Amumu

This sad mummy is picking up some slack as a support. His CC, coupled with his tankiness can allow your ADC to excel, especially if you are primed to fight often in the bot lane.

DrSenna

Senna

Despite the massive nerf to her passive, Senna can still be a great scaling support if you opt for a more slow, but threatening playstyle.

Pantheon

Pantheon

Pantheon is slowly improving meta-wise. Despite his aggressive playstyle, you can still get some easy 2v2 kills if your opponents underestimate your full rotation.

Tahm Kench

Tahm Kench

Tahm Kench has seen better days, and although you can still utilize his kit quite effectively to disrupt overly-aggressive enemies, you are still left wanting more from this champion currently.

C-Tier Support Champions:

Xerath

Xerath

Xerath does not offer enough damage and utility to make him as viable as other poke-heavy supports. Although you might find some minor success here and there, ultimately, you should opt for a far better champion for this patch.

Rumble

Rumble

Rumble had some presence in pro play, but his niche playstyle will not allow you to fully exploit his insane damage, as you can easily fall behind if your ADC does not understand how Rumble support works.

Summary

Patch 14.9 has brought significant changes to the meta as many players are still trying to find the best builds for their favorite champions. It will probably take some time before Riot Games can fully balance the game to accommodate the massive changes that were introduced in Season 14.
