Supports don't need to have sustain, when you have more experience supporting you'll start to realize it. And you should never plan around losing a lane, worst case scenario you can play defensively and use gold card to stop harass (while your ad buys either a vamp scepter or cloth armor - or in absolutely dire scenarios, both).

Supports that have sustain are definitely easier for solo queue though, but if you duo queue and can communicate well with your lane partner, it's not a problem. As long as you win exchanges you don't need sustain on a support, and a gold card ENSURES you can win exchanges.
