User blog comment:JuneReil123/RIOT PLEASE! BRING BACK SUPPORT ZILEAN!/@comment-8013046-20130524023109

wait.... im sorry but did you just say we are LACKING support champs???? the only supports i dont see played are zilean, alistar, soraka, karma. i dont count nidalee. otherwise heres a list of every champion that i know has supported in tournaments.

zyra, thresh, blitzcrank, elise, lissandra (FXopen vs quantic its going on right now actually), sona, lulu, fiddlesticks, janna, nami, taric, kayle, leblanc(daydreamin <3), and leona.

and thats just on the "pro" level. 14 champions right there. so over 1/10th the characters in the game are used as support in the professional level. then you can add in whoever you want as a support. add in the 5 i excluded. then add in the other people who can support low/high elo, lux, morgana, volibear, siv hd troll syndra supp, rammus, teemo, and ima stop there since im too lazy to think of anyone else that can maybe support. so what are we at? 14+5+6= 25? so over 1/5 of the characters in the game CAN support. although most the last ones are kinda considered trolly now. lol but still support has plenty of champions.

but anyways zliean can support fine. huge poke early on. nice escapes for his ADC, and with ult he has a GA for anyone on his team which is pretty nice if you position so that you arent forced to use it on yourself rather than a teammate. he just lacks hard CC which is a huge factor in todays meta. so thats why he isnt ever played.
