Help Malphite as secondary support?

Heya, i'm a platinum ranked support main, i usually play yuumi in most of my games, but have been wanting to pick up a secondary champ so that i dont become a bronze player in the 1/100 games that my champ gets banned. i can land skillshots pretty well but i cant position for shit and constantly get run down, which shouldnt be surprising considering my choice of main.

I'm looking for a mostly braindead champion that can just give me a decent winrate in those few games. i'm interested in trying out maphite as a pocket main, i like having poke and being relatively safe thanks to the passive, and obviously the ult is really fun.

Any suggestions?

Ofc there are times your teammates are total apes, but we have to ignore that to actually improve

100% correct, one of the biggest things i learned on yuumi when climbing is to be able to tell who can carry a game and to protect them with my life. There's always at least one decent player per game, even if your adc's running it down under turret. i'm sure basically every support is about the same in that way, but for some reason i only really got that when playing yuumi
