LoL Patch 25.12 Tier List - Best Support Champions

Despite the constant barrage of nerfs, Lulu is still dominating solo queue. The devs are struggling to balance her kit, and it might be some time before she steps down from the top of the list.

Braum is excellent for peeling and defending your carries, and has decent CC which make him a great pick.

Nami is rising due to Lucian, and Lucian due to Nami so it's a bit of symbiotic relationship but even if you're paired with a different carry, you wil find a lot of success.

Thresh is once again at the top of the list due to his great utility and overall well-rounded kit giving him just enough CC and tankiness.

Milio is another excellent pairing for Lucian, and the healing coupled with CC cleanse is great in team fights.

Karma is an amazing enchanter that can harass enemies and provide much-needed utility to your team.

Rell is a great engage tool that can swiftly swing things, especially if you manage to get on top of the enemy backline.

Nautilus is your go-to CC machine that can effectively shut down enemy carries.

Leona is a classic engage champion that can kick off a fight with only a single ult.

Sona has seen a lot of play recently and her rather easy playstyle makes it even more tempting to try her out. 

Rakan is a great partner to Xayah and you can get a lot of mileage due to his snappy movements giving your team the much-needed CC and engage.

Alistar is an amazing choice if your team lacks proper engage as you can easily dive deep into the enemy team and soak up most of the damage.

Bard is difficult to master but offers a ton of utility to your team either through roaming or effectively utilizing his ult.

Janna is a standard enchanter that offers tons of tools to stop enemy dives and engages.

Pyke is an extremely snowball-y champion that excels in constantly roaming and going for picks but can struggle massively against tankier comps.

Although ZIlean is rather boring in terms of gameplay, the value you provide to your team cannot be underestimated. 

Poppy is becoming less of a go-to pick and more of a situational choice against dive-heavy comps. 

Pantheon excels in aggressive teams as his ultimate allows you to effectively pile up onto overextended enemies, giving you tons of skirmishing power.

Elise is a bit complicated to master as you can use her kit to dive enemy champions early into the game but being able to effectively roam and drop turret aggro are crucial to your success.

Renata is best paired with a champion like Kalista, but since Kalista has been nerfed by Riot Games, Renata might quickly become obsolete due to her tricky playstyle.
