What decides the support
A tactical read of the support matchup, written from LaneDiff's champion notes: what each champion threatens, and the one thing to do about it before three minutes. It is analysis, not a match sample, so there is no win rate on this page.
Both are hook engage champions in this lane: One landed skillshot is the whole lane, and minion cover is what stops it from ever starting.
Blitzcrank
support · Hook engage
Stand behind minions. One hook is the lane, and he will flash for it.
Blitzcrank's grab into knock-up is a guaranteed kill window for his carry; minion cover removes his entire kit from the lane.
Lux
support · Hook engage
Sidestep the light binding. Every trade she wins starts with the root landing.
Lux's Q into full rotation is her only engage; behind minions she is a shield bot, and her cooldowns are long enough to punish.
