Morgana can play support, just like any champion with a form of hard CC basically. The problem is that her viability goes down as your elo goes up- because in higher elo games (about 1900+ I'd say) the bot lane becomes a poke --> last hit --> poke --> last hit war between the two carries and supports, so either one side completely messes up and the other kills them for it, -or- the side with the most sustain wins the laneing phase.


 * Morgana's problem is like you said, she has no buffs or healing abilities for the carry, even her shield is only half useful (only blocks MAGIC damage, although it does block CC which can be a life-saver. Still only half useful though, also why you don't see many Sorakas- her passive is MR which is next to useless, and her late-game power drops off immensly).

The reason Zyra -can- be played in higher elo matchups is because she has a snare that is -not- blocked by minions or other unintended targets, she has an unlimited ammount of "wards" (her plants) so they can always have vision of an upcoming gank, and because her passive has secured more kills for the ADC than anything else because of its unexpected damage.

This is why Morgana is rarely played, she is fun but there are much more effective choices. Taric and Alistar both have heals and hard forms of CC, Nunu and Sona both have -very- useful buffs for the ADC, and Leona is Q-stun W-stun E-stun R-stun Rightclick-stun Leftclick-stun and Spacebar-stun champion, which is why she is a very useful support, but has a very high skill cap required to play effectivly.

Morgana = devistating APC Mid champion (especially now in S3 where nobody bans her) and a "support." Its like having Kayle go ADC bot, she can do it but there are -much- better choices for the job. So no, she is not an OP support.
