Okay, so I’ve been trying to find the best supports to play with Samira in League of Legends, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride! I started off by hopping into some games and just trying different things. You know, just throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks.
First, I went through some of the popular picks. I saw a lot of folks online saying Zac, Rell, Taric, Renata Glasc, and Maokai are the top dogs for Samira. So, naturally, I tried them all out. Played a bunch of games with each one, trying to get a feel for how they play with Samira. I noticed that she really likes those champions that can lock enemies down. Knock-ups and other crowd control abilities make her a real terror. But that list didn’t take the number of games into account, so I kept digging.
Then, I found another list that seemed to consider the number of matches played: Nautilus, Rell, Thresh, Alistar, Maokai, and Leona. These champs are all about engaging and peeling, which is perfect for Samira. They can either dive in and start a fight or protect her from getting jumped. I spent a good chunk of time playing these champs with Samira, and I started to see why they’re so highly rated. Alistar’s knock-ups, Thresh’s hooks, Leona’s stuns—they all make Samira’s life so much easier. For example, when Leona lands her Zenith Blade and follows up with Shield of Daybreak, it’s like a dinner bell for Samira to go in and clean up.
After that, I even dabbled with some enchanter supports. Some people swear by them when paired with Samira. It sounds a bit odd, right? But I gave it a shot. I experimented with a few different enchanters to see if they could keep Samira alive and kicking. It was hit or miss, to be honest. Sometimes it worked great, other times, not so much. It really depends on your playstyle and how well you can coordinate with your ADC.
I also remember reading somewhere that Leona is a beast in both the mid and late game. So I made sure to give her some extra attention. And yeah, she’s a monster. Her ability to engage and lock down enemies is just insane, and it synergizes so well with Samira’s kit.
- Zac: Super tanky and his knock-ups are great for Samira.
- Rell: Another tank with awesome crowd control.
- Taric: His heals and stuns can be clutch.
- Renata Glasc: Her ultimate can turn a fight around.
- Maokai: Really good at locking down targets.
But at the end of the day, finding the right support for Samira really comes down to your personal preference and playstyle. I’ve had the most success with those engage supports like Leona, Nautilus, and Alistar. They just make it so easy for Samira to get in there and do her thing. But that’s just me. I even saw some players who tried to use enchanters. I don’t know how they did it but it worked for them. So, maybe give them a try too and see what works best for you.
So yeah, that’s been my journey to find the best supports for Samira. It’s been fun, frustrating, and everything in between. But hey, that’s what makes League of Legends so great, right? Always something new to learn and try out.
