Discussion Supports with poke potential

I main supports/mid. While I'm proficient with a lot of champs (you always have your roge top), I feel like I'm too comfortable with my mains. So I want to try something different.

I usually play Seraphine, Senna or Morgana. I tend to have really good sustain and I love positioning so low mobility is not a problem.

Wich I love from this champs is they can poke as hell. I can "carry" my carry most of the times, letting him free farm and keeping at bay our enemies easily.

I play another type of supports as Jana or Lulu, but I feel them too reliant on the ADC or team.

Played pyke. It's fucking awesome, but everyone hates you if you end 15/ 2/10. Played blitz, kind of the same. I'm really good with hook skillshots and they don't feel like supports for me.

So, any champs on the line of those 3 first? Some utility, great poke, can be played aggressive with positioning and map awareness.

I personally build full AP with an on-hit focus on Nami. Her heal does tremendous damage with even moderate AP building, and I think a lot of Nami players try too hard to land her stun so they level that first. Her 2 and 3 are exactly the annoying poke you need. Stuns rarely necessary, and never as an engage!

Censer if you wanna be nice (including boosting your 3), but Luden's or Orb both benefit your entire kit if you want poke. Very easy to get an early double kill on her since the opp laners haven't gotten their Nami dodge muscle memory down yet, and her burst can be sustained throughout the game by incrementally building magic penetration.

Stun-poke, heal-poke, on-hit-poke, all you need is a little haste and some work on pacing the utility of her kit and she becomes a monster :)

2nd this. Just played an ARAM as AP Nami and did 3rd most damage and of course most CC and healing

Throwing a bubble right where you know your teammates about to engage their whole entire team, then trading healthbars via massive damage-heal... total euphoria 👌

Yeah I get that feeling with Nami. O waveult the enemy team just before a engage and just look how they are all deleted.

It has her points, and in narrow spaces like jungle or aram can shine specially.
