@Iffem: Note, that the duration of shield doesn't matter when is flying straight at you. Naturally, sometimes it is important if the shield holds 5 or 10 seconds, but mostly instant > constant. Also, note that utility class is supposed to bring utility and it doesn't always mean crowd control. Take as example: she is support for sure and we all know this. And she doesn't have any crowd control that can be cast "just so" - and  alike are cast to disengage - it's not her job to poke or control with, like in example  does with. One other thing: Supports should not scale only off cooldown reduction - Mages have CDR AND AP, marksmen have CDR AND attack, tanks have CDR AND defense, similar to warriors. Supports do not have anything at all. And they spells do not become stronger with items they buy. They are casted more frequently, but it doesn't make you even feel better at all. Another: buying cooldowns require you to buy mana regen. If you won't you will become faster. Mages can have lots of AP, and when out of mana, they can wait and cast one strong blast of damage. Supports will shield from 1 attack from tower. Which is nothing later on.
