User blog comment:Zero Sheep/Choosing a Support/@comment-2112140-20120705070630

Well I'll post what I think is good with who.

So let's start with the supports. There are a lot of champions who can go bottom lane to help their carry even Volibear can be considered a support but I'm just going to mention true supports like Taric Lulu Janna Sona Alistar etc.

Carries all have different ways of playing for example a good Ashe needs to know how to land a long range arrow, how to kite effectively and how to get a lot of last hits since Ashe is a hypercarry if fed. Now let's check Vayne, unlike Ashe she only has 1 ability that actually does real damage and other abilities are enhancing her. A good Vayne should know when to use ultimate, how to use Tumble properly and how to safely position self in teamfights while dishing out high physical (and true) damage.

So now we know these champions and I am going to post the most succesful 5 comboes I had.

1 Janna+Graves- Janna is a very good support being able to increase the damage of any carry while giving them a shield is very good for a support. She can shield him and he can deal high damage while ignoring the other carries damage making him trade damage with the enemies and win.

2 Lulu+Miss Fortune- I noticed Miss Fortune is a very underrated carry because most of the people say she falls off at late game. While it is true sometimes, this means Miss Fortune is very good early game. Lulu has a very good kit of abilities being able to apply a lot of CC, shields, hastes and even AP boosts. Miss Fortune has quite nice AP ratios making Lulu's second ability good for her especially when combined with her passive. Miss Fortune also has that W that boosts her damage and with Lulu's shield she does even more damage. Lulu's ultimate can save her from terrible situations and Miss Fortune can easily harass the enemies just like Janna+Graves could.

3 Blitzcrank+Vayne- Very smart play of this combination might be impossible for the enemies to handle. Vayne has very high damage output and has that ability known as Condemn which can very easily let you get a free kill if it stuns. Blitzcrank changes this. Vayne can now stand in a position to push her enemy further into her team, push it into a wall, or after they flash push them back to Blitzcrank again making it very hard to escape if Blitzcrank can grab the enemies very well and usually can get free kills.

4 Karma+Ezreal- I've been lately playing Karma so much more because I thought she is underrated and she is. I haven't done too well with her but I noticed that when combined with Ezreal she does very nicely. Ezreal sometimes has to jump on the enemies with his blink making it easy to kill him if the support and carry turn around on him. Karma has 2 lifesaver abilities that can easily let Ezreal live and maybe even score an easier kill. The best thing is Karma deals very high damage for a support making her a very good harasser and a zoner and allowing her carry to free last hit while the enemies suffer from very weak carry in comparison to your carry.

5- Soraka+Draven- The final combo. Soraka when combined with Draven can easily let him play that mini game and heal his mana if he loses it most of the time. Playing Draven might be hard if you are newer so it is very nice when you have a healer nearby. Draven also puts a high risk on himself when he goes catch the axe since enemies know his next position and can easily harass him with no recoil since he won't avoid it trying to catch his axe (most of the time unless it's a lvl 5 nidalee spear when nidalee has 100 AP) Soraka also can be useful to the team making her a very nice champion overall. Unfortunately when I played her in PBE I noticed she is getting her W nerfed to 3 seconds armor and her ultimate cooldown increased to 160/140/120 I think or 160/130/100.

Hope you liked it and I didn't add Karma because she is underrated I added her because I know that she is atm the hardest champion to master and learn.
