Support is the fastest role to climb from and the friendliest to learn. Here are the champions that let you help your team without demanding perfect mechanics.

Support gets a bad reputation it does not deserve. It has the shortest queues, it teaches you the map faster than any other role, and a good support wins games without ever needing to hit a hard skillshot. If you are new to League, the bot lane is a forgiving place to learn, because you always have a partner and your job is simple to describe even if it takes time to master.
Supports split into two families: enchanters who heal and shield, and engage tanks who start fights. Pick the family that matches how you like to play, then learn one champion from it.
Enchanters are the gentlest entry point in the game. You stand behind your ADC, you shield and heal them through danger, and you contribute even on a rough day because your value does not depend on landing a big play. Soraka and Janna are the two most forgiving, and both stay useful from your first game to your five-hundredth.

Heals your whole team, including from across the map
Enchanter

Shields, speed-ups, and a disengage ult that saves teamfights
Enchanter

EnchanterIf you would rather make things happen than react to them, engage supports let you set the tempo. You are tanky enough to walk into the enemy and lock someone down, which turns your team loose to follow up. Leona is point-and-click and very hard to punish, which makes her the friendliest engage pick to learn on.
Leona
Point-and-click stun, huge durability, forgiving engages
Engage
Nautilus
A hook that finds targets even when your aim is rough
Engage
Amumu
A game-winning AoE ult that just needs you to walk in
Engage"Support is the role where game knowledge outruns mechanics. You will win lanes on wards and timing long before you win them on outplays.
Pick one champion from whichever family sounds fun and play it until warding, positioning, and roam timing feel natural. Pair it with the vision and wave-management fundamentals, and support becomes the fastest, calmest way to climb. When you want to branch out, the tier list shows which supports are currently strongest.
