I love playing support of every type... and in randoms i ask my carry how good he is and what he wants. And if we want to play agressive i like shen and trundle. Both are great in Zoning the enemy out. Freeze your lane and zone the enemy. (They dont get experience and gold - top lane i often miss some lasthits just to zone the enemy) With Trundle and shen you have endless sustain and can deny every single attemp when they try to farm. They have always the risk for a damage trade and normaly they loose ist. Shen has great burst at level 2 with cc combination and manaless=endless.

Thats laning phase. But supporting is a full time job. Warding the entire map - important late, protecting the VIPs in your team and disabling the enemy without dying. And now look on the Toolkit of shen and trundle. Ist perfekt. But you need a carry who knows what he does. Otherwise ist a Boomerang.

Most of the "classic" support are useless late game. Sona, "the walking stun", Soraka the healing Monster, Ali is good with his cc and initiation, Taric.... *hehe*, ... I like Lulu because of her laught. :)

Anivia, Lux and Morgana are a Pain early AND late Game. But they have to build offensive to be usefull late. They are only the early support That means they can cc the enemy, getting early wards and dont farm in laning Phase. Same with Nidalee, Xin, Panth, Voli, ..... They are no supports.

Blitz as "Full Tank + CD Reduction" can fit is this role. But he is so weak early on in sustain and mana starvation. On the other Hand, i like the crazy undying cc maschine in late game. So fu**ing funny to rage with him late. overdrive is alwasy on and if Blitz with 500 or more Movement appears out of a Bush 99% of the enemys immediatly turn around and run.
