Of course he's usefull without damage, that's what a support is supposed to do. What makes him stand out so much is that he is one of the few champions with a proper support kit. All of his abilities focus on utility and helping your allies, none of them are particularly usefull damage wise, the only ability he has that is purely damage is his on-hit bonus which since he has no items to synergize with that (or other skills) ends up being fairly weak, at least until you either have a ludicris amount of souls or go for a non-support build or have an idiotic oppnent who just stands there without retaliating (seriously so many people complain about his damage yet don't even bother trying to retaliate, virtually everyone outdamages him if all he has is the onhit effect and isn't at 200+ souls yet). Neither of which actually happen in normal matches. Most supports have at least one skill that is clearly their damage skill or have much more limited supporting abilities (e.g. soraka without damage is a healbot with long CDs, sona without damage is simply a glorified aegis, Lulu & Janna are shields with some minor CC, all mages pretending to be support become some minor CC.. the only ones that can compare utility wise are leona & taric, both of which are again characters who basicly only have utility abilities)
