Indeed, is very awkward as a champion. He is designated towards his early game power, but he doesn't have engage to make him strong early game? Tbh, I consider Support currently as an early game support that counters early game enemy bot lanes. The only way to get the utility out of kit usefully is if the enemy is really dang aggressive early on.

I can see why he's considered a strong top laner as he can at least bully the enemy laner if the enemy tries to CS, although I do believe Support is at least strong in the small niche he is currently within. It is just a very awkward niche as early game champions don't want to really play passively and kit intimidates the enemy into playing passively.
