LoL Support Tier List – The Best Supports for Patch 25.08

If you’re looking to climb the ladder in this patch, then these are the picks you should be playing. Lulu has been the top-tier enchanter for the past few patches already and with the rise of hypercarries like Jinx, Zeri, and Twitch, she is one of their best partners.

Be aware of Pyke, however, who is often considered a counter to Lulu and most of the enchanter champions. While it may not be the strongest support champion as a blind pick, he’s probably the best one as a counter.

For Thresh, the champion is in a strong state currently due to the popularity of a lot of his best ADC pairings, such as Jinx, Aphelios, and Kai’Sa. He is also one of the few engage supports that can provide decent peeling for its immobile carries.

Z-tier champions are usually either picked or banned, making S-tier ones more likely to show up on Summoner’s Rift. Blitzcrank is a great counter to immobile bot lane champions such as hypercarries and enchanters and it will allow you to play aggressively most of the time. Elise is a similar pick that has been rising up in popularity this patch after she was nerfed a few times due to her pro play presence.

Braum is often considered an answer more than a blind pick, but with his crowd control and peeling potential is quite valuable in front-to-back team comps and counters full engage champions like Naafiri, Jarvan IV, and others. Karma and Nami, on the other hand, are great pairings with many of the meta ADCs such as Ezreal, Lucian, Draven, and Caitlyn.

Among the A-tier champions, the best ones worth picking up are Nautilus and Yuumi (unfortunately). Despite the changes to the champion, Yuumi is still performing well with the right ADCs. She makes it easy to climb up the lower ranks, given that they are not used to constantly punishing her weak early game. Nautilus, instead, is just a reliable engage pick. He synergizes well with many champions such as Jinx, Samira, Kai’Sa, but also Kalista and Aphelios.

All the other choices can be considered alternatives to their respective role classes. A special mention goes to Milio, though, who has been rising up in popularity thanks to his powerful ultimate, which not only heals but also cleanses crowd controls: it’s usually a game-deciding ability in teamfights.

These champions are decent picks the majority of the time. Their power will likely depend on the team composition or bot lane duo you’re playing with or against. Engage champions like Leona and Rell work well with champions like Miss Fortune, while Soraka and Renata are typically better with hypercarry supports that need to survive. The upside of these champions is usually their lower ban rate compared to A-tier.

C Tier – Brand, Morgana, Senna, Seraphine, Sett, Taric, Neeko, Rakan

The champions in this tier can work in situational matchups, but I don’t recommend playing them most of the time. Rakan can be a decent pick with his partner Xayah, and if you’re looking to get hard engage

Most of the picks are currently obsolete. Xerath matches well in specific bot lane duos if you need extra poke, but usually, a champion like Lux will be more reliable.
