Patch 12.18 is a small patch, all things considered, with Riot Games saying they don’t want to shake up the meta too much before Worlds, and wish for it to remain relatively the same as during the playoffs.

These are statistically the most effective support champions in Season 12, patch 12.18. Like before, the best support strategy is based on making an Champion overpowered Riot’s best efforts are futile. It seems impossible to get the meta champions engaged in a natural manner.. However, A champion engaged who isn’t intended for the support role has again been one of the most important players in the game.

Support Tier List – Who should play in LoL patch 12.18?

4. Janna

Janna is a key player in this patch. It’s not because of any buffs to her kit. Actually, the opposite.

The engage tanks have been receiving buffs recently, though it doesn’t seem to hep as much as it should, so Janna, as The best and most secure disengage-and-peal support in the game It is the only way to stop Leona, a champion, from bullying your poor, early game, ADC.

3. Zyra

As it stands now With the last few patches, mage support is making a comeback in the meta. Zyra, however, is a great control mage in early games.

While in the late game her ability to control the battlefield with her plants is joined by some incredible Liandry’s damage. Zyra will not follow up on engage supports with their ADCs, and enchanters won’t be able to protect the damage she can cause.

2. Amumu

Amumu is a champion, who has now been part of the support meta after his mini-rework. And now, his crowd control abilities for jungle clears work well in bot lane.

Amumu is the right pick if you are looking to be an engaged support and have a guaranteed kill as well as an ult that will destroy any team fight.

1.Taric

It is hard to overstate how reliable Taric has been this season as a champion. Even the nerfs to his E have not taken away from that, and he remains the most reliable pick even in patch 12.18. don’t let the lowered win rate dissuade you from playing him, It is to be expected that it will drop due to the influx of new players trying Taric for the first time.

Taric is a champion with it all. She works with all the top ADCs right now and can stop all the cheese picks who try to snowball the lanes. The champion also has a strong partnership with a good player on the field. Looking at you Rhaast! Rhaast, it’s so easy to be a support and lift up all your friends.

LoL Patch 12.18 – Support Tier List

Their win rates are not the only thing that makes or breaks champions. There are still a couple of factors to take into account, such as player preference, player skill, matchup, and even their pick rate. Let’s now take a look at the rest of the support picks in Patch 12.18.

Patch 12.18: The A-Tier Support Selections

These are your picks when the S-Tier have been banned. They are solid picks and will earn you the W. But it won’t be quite as strong as S-Tier. These picks are great for a low win/loss rate.

  • Nami – Win Rate 51.01%, Choose Rate: 7.7%
  • Zilean – Win Rate: 51.58% Pick Rate: 4.5%
  • Renata Glasc – Win Rate: 50.88% Pick Rate: 6.1%
  • Soraka – Win Rate: 52.29% Pick Rate: 6.2%
  • Lux – Win Rate; 50.10% Pick Rate: 6.2%

We totally understand if you are looking for a game of mage-support, but you don’t want Zyra. Lux is our next recommendation. He has an amazing win rate and we don’t see any reason to stop that trend.

If you are only concerned about winning games, then enchanters should still be your first choice. Remember that Electrocute Nami got nerfed in previous patches. It is now again possible to play with aery.

The Patch 12.18 F-Tier Support Picks

The following selections are on the other side of being overpowered. They could be part of an old forgotten collection. off-meta or have just fallen out of favor with the current meta we find ourselves in, these are the champion that you pull out only when playing normal games with a five-man premade. They won’t mind you initing your game with their pick.

  • Sett – Win Rate 46.2%, Pick rate: 1.40%
  • Trundle – Win Rate: 48.52%. Pick Rate: 3.8%
  • Pantheon – Win rate: 47%. Pick rate: 1.6%

Running blindly at enemies is not an option. Amumu is the best option if you are looking for a kill lane. This is one of my favorite maps. Just make sure you have an appropriate ADC, that can follow you up, at your side.
