why is he never played as support?

he has good cc, that is very reliable (point n click snare into an easy knockback), certainly more precise than leona's skillshots.

also free pseudo-wards to help out when you are low on gold

and that ultimate saves just so much health on your entire team in teamfights.

the biggest weakness i can see is the low mr for a melee-champ, but you are the support after all, if the enemies decide to use all their burst on you, instead of your carries than you're doing sth right
