@Luxcaeruleus: You seem to have a great misconception as to what makes a good support champion. Like you seem to think that such things like "heals" and "damage amplification" are what make a good support, when if we go by that logic, most of the support champions in the current meta won't make good supports. What really makes a good support is their ability to "enable" their marksmen to carry.

Like a Nami is a great support for a Vayne, not just because she has a "heal", but because she can enable Vayne to survive her weak early and can extend the length of a teamfight, which is perfect for Vayne to get more procs off. Thresh is considered God Tier support because he both enables his carries to pick off easy kills and get fed and allows them to stay fed, with great escape tools.

Then we have Gragas who can enable his carries to freely deal damage, by getting his fat ass in the way of all those people trying to kill his squishy carries. With enough CDR, Gragas becomes one of the best peelers in the game, with the added ability of being able to set-up kills and getting 20%-40% CDR is incredibly easy as a support.

I have a video for those wondering what Support Gragas brings to the table (LINK)
