Neither is Pantheon, but that doesn't stop people from trying it. Anti-meta support are more fun, and sometimes they even win lanes, which would have been lost otherwise.

She's not meant to be support, but it doesn't mean you aren't allowed to play her as one, and if someone's good at it, then let him do it. It's not really your job to declare which champion is meant for which position (Volibear op support ftw!)
