Thresh is really strong still, but more importantly the main thing about Thresh is just that he's really versatile and as a result he's really fun because you have different ways to approach most situations. Like, you can make a simple play on Thresh and feel awesome, but it's also that kind of champ where you can frequently see in hindsight something you could have done differently for a better outcome, and I like that depth in a champion.
Lulu is similar since her skills can do different things depending on who you use them on. Very verstatile, but a bit mana hungry in lane if you're not careful.
Zyra is pretty fun just because she does obscene damage for a support while still having great utility, but her skills are pretty one-dimensional. The typical tryhard Zyra game where I take non-offensive masteries and only have boots and sightstone and maybe an Aegis or Shurelya's (i.e. no damage items at all), I still frequently will do more damage than the jungler and maybe even a solo laner. Her damage is just incredible without really having to think about it that much.
Nami is a weird one for me, since so much of her power is tied up in the Q. Getting good W bounces when playing aggressively is really gratifying, as is intelliegently using her passive (which is something a lot of people don't even realize she has)
I'm not a huge fan but I have a friend who loves Nami... wait for a free week and give her a try I guess.
If you're used to the sustain a Sona brings, consider Thresh, Lulu or Zyra. Playing a non-sustain support is an interesting change, maybe you like it, maybe you don't. The difference between being able to passively sustain vs having to predicatively/reactively shield or just not having any mitigation tools at all is pretty important.
Don't be too worried about how viable a champ in this meta because season 4 is just around the corner, and the inevitable buff/nerf cycle changes things all the time. Find ones that are fun for you to play.
