League of Legends Guides, Tier Lists and Strategy

Every one of these picks gets somebody typing "?" in chat at champion select. Every one of them also wins bot lanes, which is the part nobody mentions afterwards.

Off-meta support isn't the same thing as bad support. The role rewards two things above all else, and neither one is on the support item: you need to make the enemy bot lane uncomfortable standing where they want to stand, and you need to still matter at minute twenty-five. Plenty of champions nobody thinks of as supports do both.

Some champions are balanced. These ones are jokes the community has been telling for over a decade, and it turns out that's a much harder thing to kill.

Riot can nerf a win rate. Riot cannot nerf a running gag. There's a small group of champions whose reputation stopped having anything to do with how good they are years ago, and every one of them is still doing fine.

The jungle punishes bad picks harder than any lane does, which is exactly why the off-meta ones that survive it are so annoying to play against.

A jungler needs three things: a clear that doesn't leave them at half health, a reason for the enemy to be scared of the map, and something to do once the early game is over. Nothing on that list says "must be a jungler". These ten aren't, and they all check the boxes anyway.
