The setting of League of Legends is on the world of Runeterra, specifically the continent of Valoran. There are two primary city-states, Demacia and Noxus who were constantly at war. The League of Legends was formed in order to control the conflict.
For more detailed information, you can read through the Journal of Justice, which is a sort of ingame newspaper that chronicles goings-on in Runeterra from an in-character perspective, talking about the various Champions, events, etc.

It depends, I like to choose a support based on the ADC early game play, if the ADC is squishy, let's say for example Ezreal
, I'm more likely to pick Soraka
or Sona
to sustain him on lane. But, if you have a more sustainable ADC, you can pick a more aggressive support like Leona
, Nunu
or Zyra
.
Another thing to observe is the synergy of Support/ADC level, Leona
has her Q,W and E ready by level 3, which can combo really good with Graves
, where in this level he's really great. We could also mention some good combos like Ashe
and Janna
, due to the synergy of Janna's Shield and Ashe's crit, and Ashe's slow with Janna's slow.
Besides, picking a champion that you enjoy playing, which will also help in your performance, you could ask the ADC which support he enjoys to play with, if he has any preference and you feel his preference is useful, you could pick it too.
I found the League Support Suggester, a recommendation software to provide the best support for your current needs.
I've also found the following chart which really helps me when to choose a good support for my ADC, I usually pick one of the three recommended:

I've found that other players are saying that the new client doesn't have the tab for the weekend game modes. Instead, you have to restart the launcher, and press the legacy client button at the bottom right when logging in to use the old client to play this mode.

This will make you use the old client, where you can still play this mode.
