I AP Corki on ARAM and Dominion. Extra mana regen helps him out a lot, as does a fast lvl 6 and the weird propensity of people to build pure damage.

But there's no way you're going to hit every missile. If you use Xerath's combo correctly and WERQRR you will land the entire thing because they're stunned, Corki has no such lockdown ability. Also, shooting all those missiles takes significantly longer.

I'd imagine Annie provides a lot more offensive pressure with her range as well as a slightly longer stun. Her ult is also a lot more relevant than Sion's would be at 6. She's also not so bad defensively since even 1 level of E makes a difference.

also shooting all those missiles is impossible if they have someone beefy in your face. blockable skillshot as main nuke not so hot.

Support Annie is super fun. Hybrid pen + AP quints, start Doran's Shield. Q auto does like 150 damage at level 1 (IMO Q is much better at lvl 1, no stun up but the damage is really worth it). If you land that, you've gained a huge advantage in lane-- either force them to burn a pot, or play super conservatively until they're managed to lifesteal/DBlade it back. Lvl 2 get E so you can charge stun EZ and when you go in they do no damage b/c DShield + Armor/MR buff is OP. Should be able to get a kill then or at least burn flashes/ force them out of lane. After that, (as Yango said) you have the choice to sightstone or build a DBlade to harass with your stupidly long range autos. Then at 6 you nuke them so hard your AD doesn't even get an assist.

EDIT: I agree to an extent any champ with a point click stun *should* be viable as a support because of the ease of CC. Why not support TF? Pick a card is incredibly flexible-- free mana, a slow and a stun, E gives extra damage every few autos, and you can ult mid to save them, or to assist a jungle skirmish.

And yes, I realize I've been throwing out some pretty random ideas lately.

The first match of the International Wildcard worlds slot at Gamescon isn't too far off. Wish some of these teams had a chance to play against more established regions as well as each other, but eh, I'll take what I can get.

I also used to be a ignorant fool who though hybrid pen marks were expensive but only marginally more useful. First, I began using them on Lulu first, and I felt invincible in lane. Carried it over to my other supports and holy poop the difference is crazy. I wear down the enemy so much faster, and my all-in success rate has shot up-- so many of those old fights where the enemy would escape with like sub-50 hp now end in a kill.

When all else fails, just e-mail support. Although this probably depends on how fast they get back to you, but you probably have a free transfer available!

Also, unless I'm looking at the wrong place, I do not see the option either.

Ooh, two streams - one with Jatt & Deman, one with Joe & Jason. Watching Oceania vs Latin America; Lithuania vs Turkey happening simultaneously.

Just tried out a game as Support Viktor. It was awesome.

Went Q > W > Q > E > Q > R, then R>Q>E>W.

Got my Twitch the First Blood at level 2 when I landed a juicy W + Ignite on their MF. Out traded Thresh by running up for Q and autoattacking; if they stood their ground I dropped a W under their feet.

Got the Augment: Power after Sighstone for the 30% run speed and HP. I could initiate in lane whenever I wanted by Qing a creep and running at them for W. Twitch + Viktor ults aoe's down everything and even won a 2v3 Jungler fight started by Thresh hook on me, we kited them to our tower then chased them to theirs for 2 kills to 0.

Zero mana problems as long as I only used E for all-ins.

And all of those kills you get for yourself, not for your silly AD. Hybrid Pen + AD Quints + Ignite. People have this weird tendency to think that you don't just fucking kill them because you are a support. I have started playing Sona for the last few days and went up 2 divisions so far. I've had ADCs try to duel me at level 1 (note to ADCs: Never do that. Even if you slightly win, i got 4 pots. You got 0. You just lost your lane.), people being in flash range at below 30% hp when i had ult up. Also, games where you end up with 5+ kills as a support are hilarious.
