League of Legends [1] has a wide range of playable champions to pick from. From Ashe to Soraka, every champion is vastly different from each other, ensuring there’s a champion to suit every playing style. However, while most players play champions who specialize in getting kills, others do it to help their teammates thrive.
We are, of course, talking about support champions in League of Legends. Support champions start the game alongside the ADC in the bottom lane while ensuring that teammates can get kills without dying. Since supports are so impactful, it makes sense that players will want to know the best supporting champions in League of Legends that thrive in the 2025 meta.
So, we compiled a list of the top 10 best support champions in League of Legends 2025 based on pick rate. From Soraka to Poppy, here are the best support champions to play.
10. Soraka - Win rate: 51%
Soraka, though perhaps less overtly dominant than certain enchanter counterparts, remains a valuable asset due to her unparalleled ability to safeguard allies. Her kit is heavily skewed towards potent healing rather than defensive shields or crowd control. Consequently, it proves particularly effective against poke-heavy compositions. Soraka excels at rapidly mitigating incoming damage, allowing her team to sustain through prolonged skirmishes without constantly disengaging.
Mastering Soraka, however, presents unique challenges. Strategic positioning is important, demanding precise awareness of both, enemy threats and the positioning of low-health allies. Effectively utilizing her exception movement speed to reach endangered teammates on time is crucial. Furthermore, discerning the optimal moment to unleash her potent silence is a skill mastered by the most adept Soraka players. The ability not only interrupts enemy spellcasting but also prevents the initiation of new spells, creating crucial windows of opportunity for her team to retaliate or reposition.
9. Senna - Win rate: 51%
Senna’s popularity has surged lately. A new enchanter build, prioritizing healing and shielding, has significantly increased her strength. However, Senna’s traditional AD build remains viable. Her unique identity as a marksman support continues to attract a dedicated player base. Senna excels in both, the early and late game stages, consistently finding success regardless of her build.
Pairing AD Senna with unconventional bot lane partners such as AP champions like Veigar or Seraphine, offers a strategic advantage. This creates a balanced damage composition, with Senna providing crucial AD output. To maximize damage output, players must master core ADC mechanics. This includes precise auto-attacking, efficient kiting, and strategic positioning. Not to mention, Senna is only as useful as her stacks.

8. Nami - Win rate: 51.4%
Nami remains a viable option in the current meta, though landing her bubbles can prove to be a bit challenging. The Imperial Mandate run significantly amplifies her damage output, enabling potent trades alongside her ADC. Arguably the best thing about Nami is how her ultimate summons a massive tidal wave that can devastate enemies if the player is building AP, or give their teammates a chance to escape.
Nami’s strong laning phase encourages proactive trading. However, enchanters, including Nami, are highly vulnerable to enemy aggression. Maintaining optimal positioning is crucial to survive and effectively support the team.
7. Sona - Win rate: 51.4%
Sona possesses immense late-game potential due to her exceptional scaling. However, her early-game vulnerability often limits her viability. Prioritize banning high-threat hook champions, like Blitzcrank and Pyke, to mitigate early-game pressure.
Sona excels in team fights, consistent healing, shielding, and movement speed boosts to her allies. While her kit is relatively straightforward, mastering Sona requires meticulous positioning. Her fragility demands careful positioning to avoid quick death. Speaking of team fights, a single use of her ultimate can potentially take the entire enemy team down by stunning them and letting her teammates do the rest.
6. Rell - Win rate: 51.4%
Rell presents a unique challenge, with a few players finding her kit cumbersome while others embrace its unconventional nature. At her peak, Rell reigns supreme as an engaged support, particularly excelling in chaotic team fights.
Her W, a powerful charge that builds up an impactful stun, enables her to disrupt enemy backlines and set up devastating team-wide combos. The remount functionality of her W provides an unexpected element of surprise, allowing her to punish unsuspecting opponents by swiftly repositioning and punishing them.
While her current strength may not match her strength from previous patches, Rell remains a compelling choice for players who thrive on creating chaos and disrupting enemies.
5. Lulu - Win rate: 51.5%
Lulu’s dominance is unsurprising in the current enchanter-centric meta. She presents a frustrating obstacle for opponents seeking to eliminate her allied ADC. Lulu’s kit is a potent combination of shields, movement speed boosts, and potent crowd control. Her ultimate delivers both area-of-effect disruption and crucial healing to her allied ADC.
Adding on, her point-and-click Polymorph effectively neutralizes enemy threats for a quick moment. Lulu excels at empowering hyper-carry ADCs like Kog’Maw. She enhances their attack speed and empowers Pix, significantly increasing this auto-attack damage output.
4. Janna - Win rate: 51.5%
Janna reigns supreme among enchanter supports, renowned for her exceptional peeling capabilities. Her Q, Howling Gale, summons a potent whirlwind that escalates in power over three seconds, enhancing its speed, range, and knock-up duration. However, reactive, uncharged Qs are often prioritized to disrupt enemy engagements.
Janna’s ultimate delivers a devastating blast, knocking back enemies and unleashing a potent healing aura simultaneously. Her E, Eye of the Storm, provides crucial shields for allies and even structures, further solidifying her defensive prowess. Janna’s potent combination of peel, protection, and disruptive abilities make her an undeniable force on the Rift.
3. Poppy - Win rate: 51.6%
The emergence of a new Hail of Blades build has catapulted Poppy into the spotlight as a surprising bot lane pick this season. Generally, a niche counter-pick against dash-reliant champions like Kalista, Poppy’s effectiveness has significantly increased with this new build and recent buffs.
While capable of disengagement, particularly through her ultimate knockback, Poppy thrives in aggressive playstyles. Mastering his requires creative use of Flash or Hex-Flash to surprise enemies and execute devastating wall stuns from unexpected angles.
2. Maokai - Win rate: 51.8%
While not traditionally a support champion, Maokai’s robust crowd control makes him a consistently viable option in the support role. His ultimate, significantly enhanced by the Solstice Sleigh support item, roots enemies from a distance, enabling his team to engage by easily closing the gap.
Maokai excels as a well-rounded tank support. He utilizes his CC to shield his vulnerable allies and immobilize enemies, creating opportunities for easy kills. His sapling provides valuable vision control, and his surprising damage output further enhances his effectiveness.
1. Taric - Win rate: 52.4%
Taric is widely underappreciated and rarely a meta darling, and has found himself unexpectedly favoured by the current competitive landscape. While not a traditional enchanter in the mold of Lulu or Nami, his kit possesses a unique blend of protective capabilities. This kit of his rivals that of dedicated champions. This multifaceted champion excels at shielding allies, establishing a robust frontline with his inherent tankiness, and disrupting enemy momentum with potent crowd control abilities.
To maximize Taric’s effectiveness, players are advised to synergize with aggressive Bot Lane partners who thrive in face-to-face combat. These champions, eager to engage and skirmish with the enemy, become invaluable in triggering Taric’s signature stun, a crucial component of his playstyle. Ideal pairings include hyper-carry marksmen like Nilah and Samira, whose high damage output and preference for aggressive positioning. Champions of these sorts help amplify Taric’s protective abilities and create potent lane dominance.
FAQs
Who are the most popular supporting champions in League of Legends?
League of Legends naturally has multiple champions players can play as, so it makes sense that multiple champions will be extremely popular. However, while supporting champions like Zilean aren’t too popular, Nami and Janna are fairly popular, with even some non-League players knowing about them.
It’s important to note that no character from Arcane specializes as a support champion. Therefore, no supporting champion has an unfair advantage when it comes to popularity like characters such a Vi and Jinx do.
