^^ I call Blitz and Nunu unconventional supports because their main draw is to provide CC enough to discourage agression. I am not new to supports and have been playing them forever. I just don't like playing champs that do not have some form of shield or heal and a clear support role, including game changing ult.

Blitz R messes with the creep waves and can cause some problems with pushing the lane if too close. Also relies on iffy grab to actually do well. Nunu's ult isn't gamechanging and is not very useful beyond trying to get into the middle of the fight and slow enemies...which doesn't work if you are a support and squishy. You will melt. His blood boil is worth noting as useful. But they are still unconventional. I wouldn't pick them over Janna, Soraka, Taric, or Alistar if they were available.

In short, I consider Janna, Soraka, Taric, Alistar, and Lulu to be supports because their whole kits are dedicated to help the team for the most part.

Thank you for honest answers. Soraka does seem to be a good choice considering his poor mana regen. Janna also seems good for CC to help twitch gain stacks. To a lesser extent Alistar and taric allow this too but I don't find that they synergize the most with his kit it seems.
