don't listen to them, she is awesome support. I play only support or AP carry, and she is one of my favorite (if not the most). her ball grants 30 armor and m. res, she have shield like janna's and massive 40% speed buff/slow debuff (witch is on 5% more then lulu have, and she have single target speed buff). Her Q let you spy in bushes and over the walls. Her ult is good instrument for braking charging spells and prevents enemies from escape. Her shield range is 1200, wich is more then most supports have (and after casting it on allay you can be even more away from the ball to be effective) and that with awesome escape abilities makes her nearly unkillable. And don't forget about how easy is to cast spells, if ball is on your allay, you have just to press W or R to give speed buff or ulti on your allay location.

Of couse she have dissadvantages. You can't cast shield immidiatly, you need to wait until ball will land on allay, and the worst dissadvantage is that she is very mana hungry. I can reccomend only to buy Mana Manipulator (witch you can transforme then in Soul Shroud that will give mana regen and CD reduction aura), but I think best option will be to pick Clarity, it will be very usefull if you are with mana hungry ad carry on the lane.

Good luck playing her as support :3
