I guess since support in LoL terminology is more or less described as, somebody who helps set up his team for fights or improving the odds.

Sun disc, his ult, both help secure teamfights in what could otherwise be a wipeoout.

This is not to say he can't be played as a fighter, just that riot decided that mage/support were his most recognized roles.
