User blog comment:BlitzerRyuusei/Rating supports by their poke, sustain, and burst/@comment-5556439-20131010140503/@comment-5556439-20131010221311

Just because someone supports doesnt mean thats what thay are as a champion. Zyra was intended to Mid, nowhere in S2 was support Zyra even considerd do-able, but now thats all you see from her.

Blitzcrank only functions as a support becuase he is the "Pull Bitch" in the same vein that Soraka is the "Heal Bitch". Leona doesnt function as a support, she just creates a kill-lane. Leona is literally no different than Xin Zhao or Rengar support, only difference is the CC.

Also, I dont like how you categorized supports using a 1-5 scale with only 3 criteria and the criteria used are largely unimportant. Whats more vital is overall Utility. Sustain is more or less useless and so is burst damage. What your looking for, is the ability to work off your CC and flexibilty. No support has "burst" so to speak, they just have things like Thresh E or Leona passive. I dont think one or two hits that do under 100 damage usually since you dont level damage spells counts as burst damage.

But anyway, Its good you tried to put this up here and everything but you went about it the wrong way.
