I don't think you can fairly compare Sona to Nidalee. Saying that my definition of a support does not make Sona a support is also kinda unfair, however understandable, because "ability to set up kills" was in my mind, CC. Regardless back to the discussion, the crux of the issue is that, NIdalee has no CC. Whether it is viable or not depends on the argument between what Nidalee brings to the table is a worthy trade off from a support like Thresh or Leona. The assassin meta means that having CC to protect your ADC oftentimes means a loss of the sustained damage they provide. While it is true that I read that Riot was intending to nerf assassins, they still will be prominent. IMHO

The reason I'm arguing against Nidalee support is my, most likely biased, experience. Nidalee's relatively weak late game is often beat by popular supports like Leona, Thresh and Blitz, though it is rather unfair to use such aggressive suuports as examples.
