I fed support should be just as devastating as anyone else. Not as much damage, but there are other considerations. With gold you can max CDR, sustain, tankiness and whatever AP provides.

If your argument is that it's not worth letting supports get gold, you have forfeited the argument and the OP is entirely correct. Supports getting 0/10/20 scores is pathetic. You're feeding. The current train of thought is that it's better to sacrfice the support to save the ADC which is an admission that another role is just plain better. If supports staying alive to, you know, support their team isn't the best course of action most of the time, something is clearly wrong.
