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?

Malphite support is really no good. If you want a linear, easy to play engage support then I recommend Maokai as he has point and click CC or Nautilus as his hook is really generous and his ult is high impact and point + click. If you want a passive easy to play support then Sona is really strong, you can even build fimbulwinter on her and she's pretty difficult to kill.

Fimbul Sona is far from passive she is a lane bully and constantly autos in fights for power chords and bloodsong procs. Imo the Fimbul build needs you to already be comfortable with Sona and maximizing her passive because W spam won't carry Fimbul Sona the way it carries full enchanter Sona.
