Support Meta - Bronze and Below

The current meta is heavily defined by high-presence mages and crowd-control specialists like Mel, Lux, and Morgana. Mel is the most influential champion due to a massive ban rate, while Lux and Morgana dictate the lane with their high pick frequencies. While mages are popular, the highest win rates belong to defensive and utility-heavy picks like Taric and Braum.

Lux is the most popular choice in this bracket, appearing in 20.5% of games. Morgana follows at 15.2%, with Seraphine taking the third spot at 11.6%. Engage supports like Nautilus and Leona round out the top five with pick rates of 8.9% and 8.4% respectively.

Mel is the most feared champion in the meta, holding a significant 46.1% ban rate. Teemo and Shaco are also frequently removed from play with ban rates of 31.9% and 31.6%. Lux and Morgana are banned often as well, reflecting their status as top-tier threats in the eyes of Bronze players.

Mel has the highest presence at 53.8%, meaning she is either picked or banned in over half of all games. Lux is nearly as common with a 50.2% presence, followed by Morgana at 44.6%. Teemo and Shaco also maintain significant presence levels above 32% in this patch.

Taric is the top-performing champion with a 54.5% win rate, suggesting strong synergy against the popular picks. Braum and Swain follow closely with win rates of 54.0% and 53.9%. High-damage or durable options like Velkoz and Maokai also boast impressive success rates above 53.5%.

You should prioritize banning Mel or Lux to remove the most influential and popular champions from the enemy team. To increase your chances of winning, consider learning Taric or Braum, as they currently hold the highest win rates against the common mage meta. Adapting to handle long-range poke from champions like Seraphine is essential for climbing.

Patch 16.2.1 has solidified a meta where Mel is the most dominant presence that players must account for in every draft. The continued popularity of Lux and Morgana indicates that the fundamental preference for mage supports remains unchanged. However, the high success of tanky utility supports like Taric shows a clear path for players looking to counter the most common picks.
